Re: Florida kiteboarder critically injured when he crashes into St. Peter pier

Looks like a yet to be released future slingshot kite? if so, a sponsored rider? I feel for any kiteboarder who is in an accident. But also, like others here, feel that things like pier jumps etc with an unnecessary amount of risk around solid objects, should definitely be avoided in the first place...

Re: North Orbit Ultra

Maybe so. I think instead of incorporating this belief into the material of the kite what about the shape of the kite. Everybody knows the Orbit loops quick but not the quickest on the market - especially when you take aluula kites into perspective. Maybe a change is required? I'm just hoping North...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

I also think the new zephyr sounds awesome, it just needs to come in a 21m. Maybe next year.

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

Lets discuss 17m modern most powerful lei bow shape 17m modern most powerful lei bow shape ultralight 21m modern most powerful lei bow shape 21m modern most powerful lei bow shape ultralight Two of these will pull like a 21m, bec...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

????MAKE DO????? ??????WORK the kite??????? NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo There is a massive difference between working to hold a kite down between sends (mission accomplished), and working a kite just to keep going (this mission sucks). Don’t be fooled by “now that the kite is lighter it will have pow...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

We would love if 18-24 m2 Aluula like kites were offered, no doubt. WE. WOULD. LOVE! But simply trying to justify why m(any) brands has chosen not to make these sizes nowadays. Tides eb and flow. Currents stir life cycles out of and into existence. The same is true in this topic. It just hasn’t bee...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

I understand your quest for large LEI - why not!? Quest is a great word Smeagle, I can run with that: Ye lords and ladies, knights and squires, tradesmen, cotters, yeomen, peasants, heed this call to UNITE! Light wind has been a cruel oppressor far too long, my good peoples, we must employ our most...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

This doesn't mean that there is not a case to revisit the idea of 20m+ LEI kites in 2024 to reach new benefits, push some boundaries further, extend a program in a given direction, cater for even heavier riders, etc... Hell yeah bragnouff! Thats what we’re talking about right there. Lets push some ...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

This topic is about how there SHOULD be 20+m lei kites available, NOT about how we COULD use a foilkite since there are no other options. Big difference between those two topics. But, I will indulge you. Pansh Kestrel 21m $925 3.9kg + 5?kg encapsulated air mass = 8.9kg total mass to steer around the...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

23m Bring. It. On. We can handle it NO PROBLEM Can you? Wanna find out? TOO BAD! Because instead of providing kites for average everyday real life people suffering from 10-12kt warm steady breezes, most lei kites are apparently sized for children and/or designed for use in 30kt+ conditions to megalo...
