I'm reading up to understand which kite to use for hydro foil in weak winds. I get confused, some brands claim their hydro foil dedicated kite flies forward in the wind window, others say their kite flies deeper back. And both claim their flight position is the best. Strange. Since this is about ae...

Toby, I didn't get to watch, but I saw you stated Marc likes right foot forward better...do you think that is more for the rotations in the air or for the height? I find it weird on kickers they would have trouble getting the height they need on their bad stance. I'd think they have the time and per...

I wear a 13 sized Nike running shoe in the US. I got lucky with my first board b/c it had the slingshot bolt on straps. I will always use them as long as they are available. They are big, the straps are flexible and easily expandable during riding. My big foot doesn't hang off them either....these a...

I know this is a troll thread, but here is my honest thoughts anyway.......I bought a 16m Pansh Aurora II foil kite 6 months ago to dip my toe into foil kites. First of all the kite sucks balls for foiling in light winds, it is so slow I am honestly better off on a 12m LEI in 10 knots. I LOVE boosti...

Why are deck pads so freaking expensive?...I've getting ready to build my own board and I was like wtf when I saw the prices.

plummet,

Any idea what the size of your front wing is?

Thanks very much for taking time to write. Just have to ask why did you try the H3 16 if you have the Contra 17? I think I understand though, always looking for something better? That's how I am too. The allure of a very capable kite at that price is very tempting! alford, My 17 Contra is a great k...

The issue I see most dangerous when launching people is they stand way too far upwind of the kite. This happens every single time there are a bunch of people at our site. Even experienced kiters get lazy doing this or excitement to get on the water. It's not a big deal in 15 knots, but once you pass...

Did anyone see the injury Steven Akkersdijk suffered recently when his foil got caught in his lines and a wave hit his kite and slammed him into the foil? Dear god it looked like someone tried to slice his foot off for a meal. If I was him I'd take this year off. The stitching was on his IG account ...

I have not read this thread...but my 15m Aurora 2 is so slow I cannot even think about getting going in 8-10 knots on a foil and my bar is long enough.It pulls me upright but the time it takes to move the kite around is a joke. I had an Ozone guy fly the kite and he couldn't believe how slow it was....
