What kind of fabric is used on the Spirit? How much does each size weigh?

copied from prev page..

Ii’ve gotten my butt out the water in down to 5 knots with the 8m elguapo come on, the thing isn't literally magical. (Is it?) What foil do you ride in such a scant breeze?

This lower the humidity and gets the kite nice, crispy and like new again

Ii use (primarily) a MFC hydros.. I don’t remember if it’s the 1250 or 1400.

Pretty sure you can pump most surf foils back to shore ...just use pull the power from your legs up...esp if/when waves and wind is working with you.

..

just sit in the middle of the board..the "center"

you'll eventually find your balance.....main thing (just like everything else) is to just do it.
