Hi folks, I think I haven't come across a post asking this: is there an optimal foil board that can be used for both kitefoiling and wingfoiling? I know it's controversial to start wingfoiling these days but basically I really want to get into foiling in general for the next years. I'm not really ha...

Just saw this thread weeks later, very late but wanted to support a few points already mentioned and the importance of shoulder exercises: FYI I got different surgery on both of my shoulders 3-4 years ago, 2 years in-between each shoulder (because of many dislocations, not due to kiting tho). Import...

I've been riding offshore all the time during the summer and it was by far the best sessions I've ever had! Flatwater, force you to learn well upwind and much safer with gusts or risks to be pulled in the air by the kite because you simply fall or go in the water instead of to the beach, rocks or wh...

Thank you all for your inputs and thoughts about it! It's very reassuring to see I'm not the only one frustrated about this issue. jk. it's a lot like masturbation - most people do it Haha probably one of the best explanations With all that cost cutting, are Switch Labs still in existence?

I mean do some brands have stronger / weaker valves than others? - Do you have any advice or techniques so you never ...

Thank you very much guys, very cool all your advice! I'm very interested in starting with a 12m or 13m kite like from Switch, Core or Ozone. But I think I'll start first with a 10m kite size because the spot/region, Leucate, I will be living has a very strong gusty wind (tramontana). When the averag...

@FLandOBX you're definitely right, I will keep my Nobile board. I wanted to start again from scratch with a brand new gear but no need to buy another board for now. @Turbaani I was very attracted by the Bandit but now @wind chaser clearly stopped me in my decision with the safety system... and I don...

Hi guys! I’m finally ready to start again kiteboarding and I need your experience/advice, please. I’m actually a beginner (kiteboarding for more than 4 years but the sessions I had can be counted on my fingers…) However, for once in my life I finally have plenty of time to do kiteboarding every week...
