Re: Kite size for low but not ultra low wind foiling

I am 66 kilos, and have about 50 hours in on foiling. The reason I foil is I don't want to ride a big kite with tt in light wind . Still considering a peak as where I foil it gets no more than 5' deep in most places. I am using a big front wing and have been foiling in about 10mph with a 6 m pivot. ...

Ultra light wind foiling kite for the just past beginner foiler

Hi I am about 145#, I have a big 1400 foil and am looking for a kite that I can use in 5-9knots. I have a lot of freeride kites but they don't turn worth a dime either fully depowered or in light wind. I want to up my foiling experience and was wondering what kite I need? 1 strut, no strut, and what...

Re: Ozone Edge V9 - great kite, but something's wrong with the quality of the product

It's not only the edges with the problem. My friends Ozone 17m 2017 with low hours started leaking on all the valves My Edge v9 15 m started also in under 20 hrs use . I contacted a local dealer they said after 2 weeks can't do anything as factory said it is past warranty. They didn't even have repl...

Re: PFD for kiting

I started using impact vest when I started jumping because a failed jump hurt. When I started ocean kiting I went to full approved floatation life jacket. I bought a stylish colorful jacket. Yes I can swim, but when you are out in the rough sea with rollers that are higher than you can see over it's...

Re: Liquid Force Solo V3 vs V4

I am not a heavy guy at 145...but I have a friend that is 250#plus. He has a newer ozone 17 m kite and was using a big door and could kite down to 15 mph. He switched to a litewave wing 165 and dropped his low end down to about 12 mph and still had a lot of play with the board. A lot of guys like to...

Re: Home made wings 3m and 4.6m

I had extra time on my hands also and converted a 2012 as rally 8m to a wing. I cut out the end struts ,approx 2 panels each and re sewed it all together. Took the bladder, removed the 2 valves and patched over the hole. I used heavy rope and sewed it on the main strut for handles. There has been a ...

Re: Cheap Radar or ss Raptor for beginner?

Same kite model doesn't fly the same in different sizes. The difference between two kites of the same area but different brands, and even styles, is much smaller, than the difference between the two kites of different size. 12m is bulkier and slower than 9m, no matter what logo is printed upon it. ...

I have a 2012 rally that I bought in 2016 used a lot by previous owner. Only $200.
Tried pumping up up after 1 yr sitting and all the valves were blown out.
I cleaned them up and reglued them and it is like new again.
