Re: Kite/Megalooping 9m vs 10m

I tried a 10m dice in moderate winds and it looped nicely.

Re: any ocean side riding on curacao?

I was in Curacao a few years ago. I think i remember that the launches were not great around the island. I mostly just kited in that small bay. I did take a day trip to klein Curacao, the small island nearby and kited there. It's a beautiful spot, offshore wind. The boat ride was pretty rough, many ...

How to?: Multiple landing loops

I’m able to land my big jumps with downloops or a landing kiteloop (pulling on both front and backhand) Sometimes on my bigger jumps I land with a kiteloop (pulling with backhand) and I keep cranking the bar for a second loop that usually completes only after I’ve landed. But I don’t get much lift f...

Re: Bicep tendonitis - good excercises to do, please?

Does the pain go to your elbow? Muscle imbalance and knots can lead to tendonitis. Here’s what I do. There is not any great definitive scientific research on what works so you need to find what works for you. Do Tyler twists exercises to strengthen and lengthen forearm muscles with a theraband flexb...

Recommendations for a new setup

I've been foiling for 2 years on a 2016 cabrinha double agent. I'm pretty mediocre, hitting some transitions but will have 3 months off from work this summer to practice a lot. Looking for a new board/mast/wing setup that is light/small/easy to travel with. I'm mostly interested in just freeriding a...

Re: Xcel Drylock X 5/4 hooded - the best one?

I highly recommend the hooded drylock 5/4. I've had it for the last 3 years. I kite around Massachusetts and i'm happy when it's sunny and 40 degrees. With hard wipeouts, some water gets in through the leg and neck sometimes but I never get water in through the arms. I was bodydragging for 2 minutes...

Left foot forward wave kicker locations

Looking for destinations similar to Cape Town. I want wave kickers to be hit riding with the left foot forward and with strong wind. Any other locations in the world that get consistent conditions like Cape Town?

What was the windspeed today. And what sizes was everyone on?
Also curious was Jesse riding North? How much time did he have to train with new kites? I know these dudes can probably pick up any kite and send it hard but in these conditions at this level. Impressive.
