"One of the lightest single-strut kites ever designed – engineered using the lightest materials and minimalist design" WEIGHTS OR GTFO Hi Everyone. I only have a 7m production kite here. It currently weighs about 1.8kg (My lines are still attached and there is a bit of sand in the kite in the pictu...

Strange that the marketers would call this “Code Zero”. What are they gonna do when the designer decides he wants to make a strutless kite? Code Subzero?

I had the same issue. I actually ordered another one, but that has the same. I ended up testing if I could wash the port out with fresh water after every session. That worked. So at least both seem to have water resistent USB Ports. After about a year both remotes are still working just fine. -- Gun...

Exactly what Mr-Markus said. Always a good Idea toi rinse out a bladder if seawater has gotten into the bladder after a large puncture or long swim with the valve open.

No. Well designed Carbon Masts do not do this.

I've owned the hyperlink V1 9m and it's a stable kite, not prone to frontstalling. But if you have a large depower cord and sheet out fully on a tack it could overfly and stall ofcourse. See if this also happens when stationary on the beach (and be careful), trim the kite properly and use a stopper...

Hi, I am new to foilkites (Hyperlink 9sqm). I am quite good at tacking strapless foilboard. With inflatables I always sheet out completely at a certain point. When I do this with the hyperlink it collapses and falls from the sky. I understand that foilkites are different. What should I do while tac...

Different levels of wind dropping If wind drops to 7-10kts, you're unable to get flying again, but you can still grovel standing up on a large board, and still a chance to hold your ground or even go upwind a little bit. If it drops below 6-7kts, the wing isn't self supported anymore, and the lack ...

Hi Toby, I teach how to self rescue to anyone I teach. In that situation with the wind still being cross onshore using the wing to bodydrag when sitting on the board (see video below from 2:15) would have been the easiest option. But also "Paddling with the wing behind etc." is something I assume an...
