I've been kiting for several years, and am now an instructor in SA, and honestly, even though I love this sport, I sometimes hate the kiting culture. Seriously guys, this thread has been going since 2006?? How do you think it makes women in this sport feel to be reduced to pictures of their asses? ...

I haven’t read the entire thread. If this has already been said, please forgive me. I have a quiver of souls. Had the same challenges when learning to gybe. It seemed every time I tried my kite was behind me, slack lines, and dropped out of the sky. I think for 6 months every session i swam more tha...

Possibly a dumb question - what does RDB stand for please?

HI All, I have just re-read thread for last 3 years, hope I am not asking a question already dealt with. 90 Kg, free ride / free race. Currently on 637/695/420/101 combo with t60 board. My 420 stabiliser has seen better days, one of the winglets broke off the other day. Looking at SabFoil website, t...

I'd love to see a faster 690/683S style wing. Also on the "bring the 425 Stab back" bandwagon

Yes. Plus one for bring back the 425. Impossible to find second hand, and so stable with the quick’ish wings (558, 637). Love this Stab, and can’t find it anywhere. the 420 is just not the same.

@Aspiremr, Not Evan ... but I think I can answer your question. The seatbelt quick release has a leash anchor point on the main body on the kite side of the swivel, so you attach the end of your leash that is currently attached to your harness, to the marked SS ring. 6AAC6B3F-8FFA-48BB-8486-1F46CA5...

Evan, I'm new to foil racing, and just started using a race bar with a depower line that ends in a ring below the bar. This connects to a Wichard, which remains permanently attached to my harness, using Dyneema. Leash is only there for accidental release of Wichard to avoid loss of kite, no flag out...

There are two guys in my home spot who own a Soul 15 and they're both very happy with it, to be honest more than with the 12. I don't know why but everyone who buyed a set of Souls told me that 8, 10 and 15 are amazing, the 12 is maybe the "worst" size. No particular problems but the overall flying...

Definitively get the 9m.. I was just about to write a post saying this - I have 4 foil kites but will only use the 9m from now on.. It has an amazingly good bottom end and able to hold it down in 30 knots until you send it. Both TT and foil board is fun and geez it has some good boost and hangtime....

I’m using different sizes, but in 10 to 14 knots on a 15 Mt soul, a Moses T60 board, with a Vorace mast (101 Cm) and a 590 wing. Weight 95 Kg’s. My angle to the wind is ok, but on the downwind run I always seem to be vertical, upright on top of the board, which is not so stable. How do you get the b...
