60%- TT Hooked tricks. Needs 5 strut high aspect sle. 20%- Strapless Freestyle mid aspect 3 strut sle, hydrid C 5% - Wave low aspect 3 strut 5%-Unhooked 5 strut mid aspect C or hydrid C 10%- Foiling mid to low aspect 3 strut or less struts. So 5 strut high aspect kites boost well, glide well, go up...

Hello guys, I would like to ask for advice, for my next kite quiver purchase. I am 67 kg, and own 12/9/7 m. Switchblades 2013 and although they have served me well, I need an upgrade. Winds where I live are mostly 14-16 knot , or 19-22 knot on good days, open sea choppy water without swell. I am thi...

I wonder what kind of light wind do you aim to cover? 20 knot ?

I'm not sure this is right. A better glide ratio does not mean 2x speed. A 3:1 glide will touch down before a 6:1 glide assuming speeds are identical. OK glide speeds are unlikely to be exactly the same, but it will not be exactly twice the speed either. no. that is exactly what does happen. a 6:1 ...

The amount of hover you get in a darkslide depends mostly on three things 1) how big your kite is (this gives you more hangtime) and 2) line length (longer lines give you a longer swing arm and thus longer darksldie) 3) power & speed going into the trick . Doesn't have much to do with the kite actu...

Hello, Thank you all. I will try all the recomendations! I will let you know the outcome! I will try to slow down the kite- (smaller bar, inner knot connection, maybe longer lines), or maybe use bigger kite when the wind drops.And try to loop higher, and fishpole it, or hold a bar floater to close t...

Pulling the loop higher or lower is better to get more vertical pull? If you want to go up, your kite needs to be up. Imagine pulling a low loop, really close to the water. How is that going to pull you up? Haha, yes, I kind of thought it..but being Switchblades, if I start the loop high, in high w...

Nope, see above. My front right hand stays at the front right. No kiteloop ! But you could do it of course. Hello guys, I am working on my darkslide, and I got a problem . I can more or less do the slide, but i can't get back riding. I pull the the loop, and get pulled horizontally, instead of bein...

There are two types of opinions: One love it the other hate it. I have been several times and I love it. Relaxed atmosphere, living right next to the water. Stronger winds than in Cumbuco or Paracuru. Some nice areas to play like the Secret Spot and the river mouth. Let's see if you love it or hate...

I'm from 30km from Canet at La Franqui. Canet's really good when the sea breeze comes in, in summer. Otherwise when it's the Tramontane NW wind blowing it's better to come up to La Franqui. It's packed with tourists anyway in July. Let me know if you want to know anything else. Hello John, Do the s...
