Re: Go Pro question

I have it in the orange floating case and just stuff it under the chest zipper of my wetsuit.

Re: Why is wingfoiling so popular?

I haven’t tried wing yet, but want to. The only thing I see as a maybe a downside is the lack of view compared to a kite. How much does the wing in front of you hinder your view? Are wings with windows better and do you get used to it?

Re: Sonic 3 vs 4, side by side?

What I loved about the Soul was its loop You mean the grunt in its loop? I did not spend a lot of time on Soul but that is exactly what I found hard to control and what bothered me for foiling. Of course on twintip that’s fun. Sonic 3 is similar in that sense. When I steer it up for a jump I don’t ...

Re: Sonic 3 vs 4, side by side?

I think making this kite was kinda a kneejerk reaction to the Gin Spirit. It seems like Flysurfer is focusing even more on ease of use even if it sacrifices performance. I haven't ridden the Sonic4 yet but I would imagine it's a better jumper than the Soul2 and would be the superior kite. Now I wor...

Re: Flysurfer Sonic 4

There is no need to pull a back line with such short lines. Why? Because I use seated harness and my power lines are 10cm longer than steering lines. With such set up you could loop a kite around a pivot point centered in the middle of the kite. Yes I think that’s it. My smaller kites all turn ultr...

Re: Sonic 3 vs 4, side by side?

I flew sonic3 13m and sonic4 12m back to back on twintip. What Gestalt said: Sonic 3 is a different kite, more of a race kite, I had the feeling it gets sucked forward into the wind. Going straight fast is more exciting on Sonic 3, but unfortunately it also folds in the wingtips a bunch which was th...

Re: Flysurfer Sonic 4

Is the Sonic 4 still as sensitive? I'm hoping it’s somewhere in the middle. My Sonic 4 came well tuned and changed only little in the first few months. Flysurfer used to deliver Sonic/Soul so the tuning was off at first and then “grew in”. They did not do that with my Sonic 4, which I preferre. Son...

Re: Flysurfer Sonic 4

Which length lines is everybody riding on their 12m sonics? Last weekend I realized that I grab a back line frequently in order to pivot it. That’s both in light and stronger wind. While I usually like the direct feeling of shorter lines, I wonder if I have gone too short and the down loops would be...

Re: The future of foiling

It’s a cross between downwind and surfing without the logistics required for downwind, wave requirements for surf or a dock for pump. How much resistance does the motor part create when it hits the water surface, can it throw you if you are not careful or does it just dive in? Can you change how fa...
