Re: Flysurfer Peak 5 is here

In my experience the Y height does make a difference in turning speed (the higher, the faster). Just make sure not to place the Y too high, or you will break the c1 bridles (I broke mine on my 4m, 5m and 6m PEAK4s). The optimal position of the Y is 14m from the bridle attachment, as it is on the Con...

Re: Flysurfer Peak 5 is here

Hi all, I was able to clock some 20 hours on the new 4m Peak5 and about 5 on the 5m Peak5. I switched the whole low end of my Peak4 quiver (3m, 4m, and 5m) for Peak5s, although I'm still waiting for the mythical 2.5m to get delivered :-(. I kept the 6m and 11m Peak4s as they have seen much less usag...

Re: Flysurfer Peak 5 is here

I basically have to take the steering lines over the leader and take a part out nearest the bar. Then the b-safe is sort of more form the top as well as...

Re: Large wings for foiling

I can't say i agree here. Having tried the slingshot infinity 99 alongside my own 1200 cm2 foil in very marginal wind, the difference was night and day. No chance getting up on my foil with the 11m peak 4. But with the infinity 99 and peak it was pretty easy to get going. The difference seems to be...

Re: Large wings for foiling

The other aspect of the water start equation is sinking the foil. Some big foils are hard to sink when on their side. I no longer sink the foil, I just use the front wing against the water and waterstart directly on foil. Works like a charm for strapless. I'm the 70kg guy with the Moses 790 azoele ...
