I have done lots of camping including just a sleeping bag under the stars, tarp, bivy, jungle hammock w/netting, small tent, and car-camping tent. The luxury and comfort increases in that order. In rain or bad weather the luxury and comfort increases exponentially in that order. To answer your quest...

I also have the GoPro 6 black, it's awesome and really does take incredible video. I use it with the UGo line mount (incredible device) as well as a standard cheap headstrap mount from amazon for a different perspective. I mostly just take take stills from the video footage and they are super high q...

How is the 12m? Does it really give a few more knots low-end?

I have the 9m and it's amazing but I'm moving to south Florida where the wind is super light, thinking of adding a 12m Ultra...

For what it's worth I was doing a long downwinder the other day with my friend and the wind died halfway. I called my wife on my apple watch w/cell service and she picked us up easily. It was really convenient.

Hi again everyone Please check out my Lou Wainman Facebook page and chat with me there or at kiteforum.com. Need help and awareness about my new kite company I'm trying to start. Thanks and see you on the water ! We have never heard of kiteforum.com can you please tell us what it is? :allbegood:

I dont use anything but they have really good cases on amazon that are cheap and would work great if you do kiteloops etc

Apple watch 4 with cellular is awesome. Great for calls/texts when a downwinder goes long etc.

I bring headphones when setting up my kite or just working out on the beach and you can stream music directly from the watch which is amazing.

The biggest flaw is the ikitesurf doesn't have an app yet!

that albatross wing looks incredible

180lbs, liquid force happy foil (high aspect and super unstable/twitchy but fast). ~9knots (10mph) I am foiling, below that I can't get really going consistently but the kite flies still. Sweet spots are: 10-15knots for foil, 12-18 knots for surfboard, 15-25knots for TT. 10m is probably just as good...

Anyone compare the Airush ultra 12 to Alpha 12? I have the Ultra 9 and love it but I'm moving to a real lightwind spot (Florida) and need a bigger one strut kite and I know Ozones are generally great kites. To counter the prior durability point: I've had a great experience with the 9m ultra and no d...
