A bit long but interesting. According to this, there is a chance that it might all be for nothing.

Relaunch is not an issue with the Wave. I tried parking it on its ear like an LEI tethered to my car. It automatically relaunched and flew over the zenith to the other side. Then it flew back to the first side, and then when it took off toward zenith again I hit the safety. This works as long as yo...

First thing... try a different style. The board is largely if not entirely secondary, IMHO. Try the following: (1) slightly overpowered; (2) keep kite high so it supports some of your weight; (3) go very slowly - only slightly higher than planing speed. It's basically like foiling - with a TT!! Had ...

I believe the easiest way is to first detach the foil from the board. (Carry a small hex/etc key with you.) Then the board goes under one hand, and the fuselage goes on a shoulder. You can probably walk for miles that way. Whereas if you have a 90 cm mast, the weight of the [aluminum] foil creates s...

There is a lot of value in leaving nothing - absolutely nothing - behind. One time, a ranger was trying to enforce a local law which to his understanding prohibited snowkiting on a local lake. [Not true!! spelled very clearly right in the text of the law. And I was not bothering anyone in any way - ...

No you don’t need a new spreader bar/harness if you use only the top half of the Fireball onto either a rope or any usual spreader bar. Works fine and shortens the distance for more depower if that is an issue. If you mean a combination like this, it's very different from the Infexion QR. For start...

There are 2 rubber bands - one to hold the parts together, the other to eject the steel ring (if releasing under no tension). It seems Very Difficult to release by mistake, as the travel required is about 2 cm if I recall correctly (details on his site). [So far I only used mine flying on the beach...

You can buy one today. The plastic housing is a prototype (3D printed), works well and should last a few years at least. Need only one QR for all your bars! https://www.infexion.eu/shop/max_bar/quick-release/seatbelt-quick-release-eye/ I have one. Certainly not going back to the hook and the chicke...

Thanks the thewindego. It looks a slam dunk that the centre lines can be replaced without rotor disassembly and I just caught enough sight of the release ball to see that it is a solid bullet spliced to the dyneema. Looks well designed to me. Do you know if the release jaws stand up well to normal ...
