this may not help but I started with a 1000cm wind but found it so nerve wracking trying to keep the kite flying and stay on the foil that I switched to using a 510cm freerace type wing so once going the apprentent would come up and I could relax more and enjoy, like you staying close to the shore b...

If your kite steers when fully depowered (c and z disengaged) it will very likely be not a problem on Z. Most likely your steering lines of the bar are out of tune then or something similar on A and B or in the mixer when you compare left to right. If your kite goes straight depowered but steers un...

legend, thanks so much for that Peter

I have the mirage 1000 & 650. The 1000 is fantastic, especially with a single skin foil kite in smaller sizes, I also found it great for learning to gybe etc, however like any big wing it is doesn't glide as well as a smaller wing and can be a handlful in large chop, also not great with a bigger kit...

When I turn a foil despite my best efforts I never really get a feeling that it is carving, not in the same way you feel a carve when gybing a windsurfer or paddle surfing. I don't get that locked in feeling that you are pushing hard against something that is pushing back and creating that wonderful...

winging takes more wind. i only see wingers out when i'm on an 8m kite or less. in that sense, it is like windsurfing. and yes, i had the gear and tried it. not for me (had bad shoulders already). i see the point of it in limited/difficult launch spots, but around here on the open ocean, kite foili...
