Re: Surface Sliding Foil ?

Nice slides!! Doing them strapless and way way shorter. Love breaching and its a pretty regular part of my riding. Favorite slide is to capture the sensation of a good floater on a surfboard. Breach the foil and grind the front wing along the top of some whitewater, then kind of drop the length of t...

Re: Peak size bigger than 6m

8m peak is a great snow kite. If it’s too light for that kite I’m happy to accept it just isn’t kiting weather. Can get right down to super light wind on harder pack, and the grunt is great in actual wind in deeper snow. Can’t be bothered to use it for foiling. Not enough resistance on foil to get i...

Re: the big dilemma: Pump vs Foil?

Kauper look nice but full on hydrofoil LEI is clouds. They’ve improved a couple times since I had em and they were leagues ahead of the pack at the time.

Re: Wingfoil is building faster than everything...

On a more philosophical note, I would argue that, in the sense that the rider is essentially one with the wind, wingfoiling is the purest form of wind sport. There is a direct connection between the rider and the wind. You can 'feel' the wind so much better. Kiting is on the opposite extreme, and w...

Double skin foil kites embody an entirely different type of foiling and are more upwind, race and big air oriented.
I love my 6m Soul for dynamic skatepark downwind swell riding in 10-13knots on strapless 550cm2 foil.
Sweet. I was generalizing

Re: the big dilemma: Pump vs Foil?

I get bored mowing the lawn on anything. How you ride is entirely individual. I hate riding underpowered, even on single skin kites and am rarely on the smallest possible size kite like many others report. I don't rig down until the kite starts to limit my line and often ride upwind a bit over power...
