A change in mindset might help. You don’t have to go upwind. All you have to do is hold ground and let the board come to you.
That only works if the board is floating downwind. Which is not always the case.

Re: Low wind body dragging

Also don't forget that every time you turn, you go downwind.
Unless there is barely any power in the kite at all, but then you won't go upwind anyway.
If that's the case, I just do the backstroke straight to my board. Always works.

Re: best board for jumping in chop

I have a first generation Orao board (I don't know if second generation is different).
It's the brand of Decathlon, I don't know if that company has stores worldwide. But I like that board for very choppy conditions.

Re: Call the industry to unify inflation valves

How many use this? Have never seen it myself, but would be great :thumb: Standard pump hoses all come with the bayonet: Stdpump.jpg Which kites/Wings use valves where the std bayonet fits? i find it utterly frustrating, that North/Duotone use an "almost" bayonet valve, but a few tenths of a mm diff...

Does the Porsche collaboration has something to do with it ?
Will Liam Whaley also join Duotone ?
I've always wondered why Porsche chose her. She wasn't that well known, her instagram was even spanish only.
I don't know about now though, I don't follow her.

Re: Which Apple watch workout is most suited for kitesurfing?

Haven't tested the woo app yet, I'm looking forward to it. But until now I used the swimming workout to track kitesurfing. The surfing workout doesn't track GPS. The downside of the swimming workout is that it will often think that you're not swimming and buzz your wrist to ask to stop/pause the ac...

Re: how long does it take for kite canopy to show signs of use?

A reknown kite repairer said that 15 minutes of flapping does far more harm to the fabric than a 2 or 3 hour kite session. But it's important to know that the damage here is likely very minimal. My kites have been flapping for years and they look alright. Especially the canopy at the tips flap a lo...
