I don't know if this will be of any help to you, but here is a review of the Infinity 76 and the Moses 633 I wrote several months ago on an Australian Hydrofoil forum: "Given the interest in, and growing popularity of, larger surf wings for kite foiling over the last 12 months or so, I've been reall...

I've been learning this move for the last 5 or 6 weeks. I initially started with the intention of learning 360s but the tack was a happy bonus. I actually found the Tucker video really helpful. Good repetition of the move and shots of what the kite is doing during the transition. I found actually wa...

Oversized doesn’t gain you anything. It just makes you slow. [/quote] I have to disagree with this. I demo'ed a Slingshot Infinity 76 surf foil and found it to be wonderful to kite with. It has a stated wind range of 8 - 22kts. On the day I tried it I had winds of 12 - 15kt and my 6m kite was plenty...

I would say just choose the foil you want to ride and go for it. I learnt to foil strapless from the start and in 1.5 years I've tried maybe 6 free ride foils. They all felt fine strapless. I currently ride the original Slingshot Hoverglide with the H5 wing. Probably the heaviest foil on the market ...

He really liked the foil as well and was comfortable on it almost from the get go. Plenty of lift and stable were his comments. He caught his first wa...

Heh Duke, Welcome to a new challenge:) Btw, I just built my 2nd bar today for foiling. Super thin lines :) kidding :) would love to see your HL tho. But, strongly recommend using your sb a first few times. If it goes down, you will swim. If it goes down, it will take water, and if not drained well ...

Thanks everyone for the great info. I'm not going to rush out and by shorter lines any time soon. I was just curious as to the benefits of shorter lines. I'll stick to my 22m lines for now.

Thank you so much for the detailed answer. That all makes sense.

Apologies if this has already been asked before. I'm about to get my Ozone Hyperlink tomorrow :D and this will be my first foil kite. I noticed that a number of riders, like Frank Rosin, are using short lines with foil kites. Could someone please explain the benefits of shorter lines? I'm assuming i...
