Re: Kitefoil boosting

I really enjoy boosting on the foil. It makes boring TT conditions really good fun. I'm finding that many tricks can be done on the foil... front rolls, backrolls etc.., even manage to land some kiteloops on the foil (only managing probably 1 in 10 kiteloop landings). Kitefoiling has made bad condit...

Re: Help with Sabfoil 671 and Stab 399. Buy or Not Buy

Question 1: is the old carbon Mast 101 a good thing, or is the Kraken Mast stiffer better, what ever… (and 400gramm more heavy). Usually the newer things are better, so I do not want to get something, and discover afterwards: too soft…. Everybody changed the Mast 😊 The 101cm and 91cm masts are gene...

Re: $4600 foil (board not included)!

Another factor of double masts is that the load is spread out across the wing and thus the wing doesn't need to be as stiff or strong Good point. There are several structural and efficiency advantages to using a 2 mast system. However, it seems that these advantages only come into play when using e...

Re: $4600 foil (board not included)!

But the traditional single mast foil will have to become extremely thick to maintain the necessary stiffness of huge span wings. that's true it will be stiffer, however I'm not sure how much stiffness matters. That's the most critical thing, how much stiffness matters for pumping. It's not clear to...

But the traditional single mast foil will have to become extremely thick to maintain the necessary stiffness of huge span wings. 2 single masts spaced apart like the Beta design can each be less than half the thickness of the traditional mast whilst maintaining significantly more stiffness as an ove...

Re: $4600 foil (board not included)!

Obviously a single mast has much lower drag than a double mast. I assume because of the size of the wing a traditional bolt mount doesn't work but that doesn't mean you want a double mast, it just means that the mount box for the wing has to be beefed up, and the mast will also have to be strengthe...

Re: Fastest way to pack a foil kite?

Foil kites with plastic batons in the leading edge shouldn't be rolled, but should be packed with the concertina method to prevent the batons losing their shape. This is the part that takes time.

I've been using the 633 for some time now and tried the 799 but didn't like it much.
Are you able to say specifically what it was you didn't like about the 799 compared with the 633? Reason is I'm considering changing from the 633 to 799 and I've heard some people like it whilst others don't.
