Re: rumour: fone's new kite uses brainchild technology

I think F One need this collaboration if they want to be back in the game/market of Kitesurf. [...] I strongly agree with that. They were majorly focused on wings and foils. It was a good strategy for the brand as they became one of the leader in this new sport. I heard/read that F-One was going to...

Not really.. the breeze, the trigger, the One and the furtive have always used low V, while the bandit, bullit and trust have used high y

Re: Gong unik

New kites are coming this month. There are a lot of teasers. The new bar is already available and looks nice. Apparently, 2 or 3 models. 3-struts and 5-struts can be seen on the videos. I don't know of a strutless is also in development. I was hoping that Gong would be the brand to use the "Brainch...

Re: rumour: fone's new kite uses brainchild technology

The thing is, Colin said that the kite he tried had a V split. And F-One always had a Y split.

Re: Watches for safety

Interesting! A waterproof pager that can save your life for €149 + €49/year. Pros - fully waterproof with wireless charging - uses 2G network - better coverage than smart SIM watches that probably require 3G/4G network to automatically send gps location data - EU coverage (32 countries) - once acti...

Re: IKO self launch video

This method is also 100% applicable with a "launch assistant".
You don't need to hook too soon, wait until you have tension in the lines and you've checked everything is OK !

Re: North Orbit 2024

Finally !!! IKO has come to reason and promote the safest method for self launching : "do not hook before having tension in all the lines". The only thing I would not agree with is depowering the trim to the max before launching. It will add slack to the rear lines and could make the kite more diffi...
