Are foil kites more heat resistant than LEI?

They say to never leave a LEI in a hot car because the bladder seals will melt. I'm not an expert on foil kite internals so I was curious if the same rule applied.

Thanks!

Re: Best freeride bars for foil kites?

I'm looking for 50/60cm bars with 14-15m lines (preferably out of the box), relatively lightweight, long depower, strong enough for jumping, auto-untwist. I ride Souls. It seems like my needs are in-between normal bars and race bars, but curious if anyone has found good options out there. Thanks! W...

Re: Flysurfer Soul

Info for people who are looking forward to new flysurfer bar, I’m in Cape Verde now and flysufer guys are here, I have seen new bar look very nice and clean will cover most of flysufer kites. I’m glad that I didn’t buy current bar as new one looks more similar to other bars Nice! Any more descripti...

Re: Flysurfer Soul

I am currently starting to have a rethink as to whether the 8m Soul is going to work for me as a medium / high wind kite - for my skinny frame the power is kind of scary at higher winds, particularly if you screw things up a bit - it has so much power in the loop or if you happen to throw it the wr...

Re: Flysurfer Soul

35 foot jumps in sub 10 knots! it's an amazing world we live in =) yeah i would say the noticeable downside of the 14m lines is you really have to ollie up out of the water on the first downstroke to get going because the kite simply doesn't have a long path to travel through the window. but once yo...

Re: Flysurfer Soul

haha thanks -- i appreciate the input! i was able to ride my buddy's 15m on 14m lines today, immediately after riding my 10m on 17m lines. I could make the 10m work but there was a fair bit of looping to get going. the 15 was awesome. i felt juiced, but in control. sensor read 8-9 knots.

Re: Flysurfer Soul

I've been loving my 6m and 10m on a ~590 equivalent (medium aspect) foil with 17m lines. I'm 70kg. If I were to go one size bigger, would you suggest 12m or 15m? I'm worried the 12m isn't enough of a jump over the 10 but that the 15m will be too much. Maybe 15m with even shorter lines? If it matter...
