Re: Spitfire-cannards in general

After a few years riding the Zeeko white and blue I swapped it for the Spitfire. After three sessions with the XLW wings I have the feeling that I need more power from the kite and it goes upwind far worse.
Is it my technique? Could it be that I'm putting too much pressure on the front leg still?

Re: SP80 The Swiss challenger in pursuit of the World Sailing Speed Record helms its first prototype

Well, they're not the only one hoping to break the 150 km/h limit. Here's a video form the Syroco team (with Alex Caizergue) showing their speedcraft. It seems that both concepts are similar in some points but I find the Syroco approach more original, using a foil as an anchor. https://www.youtube....

Re: DIY depower rope?

Do you use some coating on the line? I use this one: https://www.premiumropes.com/d-power but it doesn't seem to last as long as the original Slingshot ones

Re: Infexion Seatbelt Quick Release

Same here, I needed to change the QR or my old Slinghshot bars and the Infexion Seatbelt Quick Release was the best option. A single device for all the bars, great for a rope slider and small size to maximize depower range. I've used it for a few sessions and really happy with it so far. Congrats to...

Re: Lecca-Lecca Minima 11m First Flight

The post by Valverto reads like a blatant pimp, almost like as if written by the guy behind these Lecca Lecca kites. Strange would choose to target Pansh as competition as they are a real kite company and still much cheaper. It is not surprising a review like Feels above. These are essentially DIY ...

Re: Lecca-Lecca Minima 11m First Flight

Got myself a 2nd hand Lecca-Lecca 11m2 based on the nice reviews. No connection whatsoever with the brand and the designer, just happy with the kite. I've used it for 3 sessions and I'm sincerely impressed. My only previous experience with foil kites was with a Pansh A15 12m2 and the Lecca feels muc...

Re: Gong Strutless Kite for Hydrofoiling - Quick Review

On the webpage they also give 6-12 knots wind range for the 12m2 and 5-15 knots for the 10m2. Does that make sense in your experience? Maybe getting one extra knot in the low end by being faster and lighter?

Re: Gong Strutless Kite for Hydrofoiling - Quick Review

Any idea on the weight? Webpage says 3kg, but that looks too much to hang in 6knots

Okuberano online shop - Legit??

Any experience with the online shop https://www.okuberano.com/kitesurf-c-1.html

It's registered in China, the design of the webpage in not too good, with several inconsistencies and some prices are so good that it doesn't look legit
