If you live on the W coast of the US it's hard to beat the convenience of a quick flight to San Jose del Cabo and then 40 minutes to Los Barrilles, Baja California. I've traveled to both Mexico and a Caribbean and Mx is less costly. Bja season is Dec-April

When I was first learning and had less intuitive awareness of height, mast, and impending breach crash... I was wishing there were simple sensors along the mast to trigger a jolt or something to alert me where I was.

I've recently purchased Alluula Roam kites and I'm flying them with a North Click Bar with it's heavy standard lines. Having come from Clouds I feel the Aluula Roam kite weighs the same or lighter, but without my Ozone Race lines I notice a line weight difference. This is noticeable with water relau...

One big advantage with the Aluula kites - I assume - is that they work equally well with a SB as with a foil. This somewhat helps to mitigate the high cost. Yes, On a recent day in Washington State wind storm conditions I rigged my 8m Aluula Roam. I parked my Celeritas on the beach and went out for...

I’ve used Ultra’s, Peaks, Clouds and UFO’s. For relaunch the Clouds and UFO’s are the go in 10 knots and over, 6.2 in the Cloud or 7 mtr in the UFO. The low aspect no struts just roll over and launch so easy. If you need a strut look at the Slingshot Ghost, very similar to the UFO but with a strut....

For light wind water relaunch, play with the opposit front line and don`t oversheet. Then the water relaunch of a 2020 9m Boxer works great. Also the solid, more opened shape gives him the performance of most 3 strutters. It could be a bit lighter. You are correct with that... opposite front line (...

I've been on Clouds for 5 years. I then purchased a 2020 Naish Boxer thinking I'd move away from strutless. Nice kite but my gawd was it a bear to water relaunch in light conditions. I know you're asking about 1-strut.... But I absolutely love my 5 & 8m 2020 OR Roam Aluula 3-strut kites. In so many ...
