Re: How do you glide?

Second everything fernmanus said. (not because i ride and glide with him once in a blue moon, or anything). Big foil kites are awesome, high aspect is better but not neccessary. (I fly 15m soul, im 180 before all my gear on snowboard). Learned on a 12m tube kite, but wont do small kites if I don't h...

Snowkiting Harnesses Recomendations

Hi All, What is everyone using for snowkiting, focus on gliding and long tours? What's more comfy on skis vs SB? I've been riding waist harness with climbing harness all linked with a carabiner. The pros is that I have back support with the waist harness and leg loops for longer glides. There is als...

Evolution of Foils

Out of curiosity, how much has the hydrofoil designed from the user perspective? I have the LF impiulse, still ride it everyone in a while and still like it. Has design in Hydrofoils changed enough to look for an upgrade or is the mentality, if its not broke don't fix it?

Re: Ozone repair in Utah?

Longevity of the FS Soul

Curious how many hours everyone puts on their FS foil kites before selling or trading up? What kind of keep up do you keep on the kite? Looking to upgrade, wanting to upgrade, but really don't think I am needing to upgrade. I have had my Soul 15m for 4+ years with more than 300-400 hours on it or mo...

Re: Gliding Snow Kite Gin Vs FS Vs Ozone Vs others

OR Flite Aluula 17M. Range on this kite is amazing. Stable wingspan for gliding. Very smooth loops for such a big kite for the uphill After going foil on snow, it is really hard to go back to pumping up a kite, especially a 17m kite. Aluula flight is great by not quiet the same feeling as the picku...

Re: Connecting Flysurfer Soul to Slingshot bar

I fly an older ss bar with 17m lines for the 15m fs soul (rigged for gliding on snow). Works like a charm removing the pig tails and lark looping around metal rings. I would also suggest adjusting the throw to be 4-6 inches longer to mimic the fs infinity bar.

Re: Board size question

I'm training on Belmont Shore, CA. It looks like average wind speed is 7.1 MPH, Max Average is 13.3. Belmont blows in the mid teens all summer with lots of choppy water, very familiar with that beach (will out there in a month for a bit). If you had an option to switch the kite out, I would go that...
