Okay, but your original question was not very clear, as you asked about small foil kites for hydrofoil freeride, not specifically about small double skin foil kites... Dont know, as hardly noone uses these, and very few brands offer these. Because they are too small for racers, and too hard to handl...

Dave, you ask about twinskins - I can not comment on those, as I have never seen anyone using these. A few in here got these, so they might be able to answer, as I would expect them to behave relatively similar, but maybe not in all aspects... But regarding small singleskin kites, ie Flysurfer Peak4...

Those borrowings other kites pumps deliberately, are totally douche bags, it is somewhat a crime IMO and a totally no go. If you on the other hand travel without one, buy one at the destination, and give it away, maybe to a local with small money, when leaving, THAT is the way to go :thumb: 8) Peter

C'mon, it is the simplest foil kite one can get, very few bridles, and only a 4 m2. Compared to "real" foil kites, say bigger race style, its a no brainer to untangle no matter what :naughty: Of course, if you are not used to foil kites at all, you might need a few days or weeks to get used to it - ...

I dont know how much of your current booties which are "not smooth". But really warm and good feel is the 6.5 mm Atan Hot Mistral: https://www.24-7boardsports.com/atan-hot-mistral-6-5mm-winter-wetsuit-surf-boot/ I only use the 3 mm ones, all winter - awesome barefoot feel, but the sole is of course ...

Has anyone simply tried a light coating of RainX? Spray a screen towelette and apply it to the lens Yeah works perfect, put it on the gopro quite some time before you go out. While kiting it works great since there is always wind that blows off the water. Also works great on sunglasses. Just a bit ...

How can we compare Peak4 (Turns speed) versus Lei wave kites? Peak4 8m, 6m, 5m and 4m. Recently I tried my 5m2 and it's very fast, I have never flown any Lei kite larger than 8, and it was a long time ago, so I don't have any parameters to compare in the same wind speed. Are you talking about waveb...

This looks even better, both of them, Kai and Ridge Lenny, ridge in the pipe I assume, Kai hang gliding :
