It's not that he doesn't have it figured out, its that he has no choice. Marc is by kiteboarding standards a heavyweight. If he wasn't you can bet he would be going for height, but he doesn't really have that option unless it downright nukes most of the smaller guys off the water. Dude has no other ...

That sounds like really solid advice

Foiling has become a really diversified pursuit. Those that race are on completely different gear than those that carve around on big wings with small kites. Kite, board, foil, and line length.... all different in pretty drastic ways. I would say kites that sit forward and kites that sit deep suit d...

I'm saying evolution will continue. Freestyle might be dead, but it clearly defined the hierarchy of degree of difficulty. When all other aspects of jump are equal a board off trumps a rotation, and a handle pass trumps them both. No one is there yet. Once the guys throwing passes can match the heig...

Stingy's new wing is around 1200cm. Plenty of surface area, but it has a very thin profile (under 1cm max depth) and a pretty sharp leading edge. Thinner than both my stock Zeeko wings and they are also pretty slick.

Kota took kite comps to a bigger level and for a short time outran the issue at the core of twin tip kiteboarding competition and professional level riding. Dangle. Dangle was purged organically in freestyle by the need for ever increasing degree of difficulty. Freestyle lost its height requirement ...

Jumped the shark just there

Yeah! Red Bull might give you wings, but Suzi gives me a horn!
Kev's got nothin on that!

Winter is for gear tinkering...…. I totally get that.

Back to back with stock..... you'll know for sure.

Tough to be objective now that you've made a permanent change. Gotta try and be honest with yourself about what or if you feel the difference. If it's not subjectively quite obviously better, was it worth doing? Wax would have made a good experiment as you could have gone back and forth a few times ...
