Hi. Just a story I had 2 or 3 years ago. A good wave ridding session may be 1m or 1.5 m waves. A good wind more than 20kts... Everything good I am with my brother. We are riding at 100m of distance. In the waves you have to be focus on you ride, but I know that my brother is not so easy than I. So I...

Hi,

I have a 12sm Speed III. Result 10% power less than my other 12sm foil kite.

So I think that there is nothing to do with this.

Hi, It is not because you can fly with a kite, even if it works well, that it is done for this. Everybody have a chiken loop on a kite, nobody have this system in paragliding... Why? Because it is a good thing to be abble to let the kite go, and it is not a good thing to be abble to loose your glide...

Thanks Norbert for the insight. I asked myself the same thing: what would you consider for snow + gliding? To me if you want to glide with a snowkiteing, you will have to change: -The construction. the lien wil be in 6mm dyneama diameter and less longer -The way to drive :not on the bar but with ha...

Hi all, Sorry for my english and sorry I don't read all the posts before put my 2 cents. As I design Snowkite and bladder kite for Rapace and as I designed speedgliders for 4speed, I think I can give you 2 or 3 ideas on it. Why are you so stupide? I don't know if you are stupid or not, but here it w...

changing graphics IS changing for the sake of changing! that is all the "development" is about in kite business lately. i mean there is nothing about kite wing aerodynamics left mysterious! it is all in the books! -they know what AR do to the wing -they know what wing profile do to the wing -they k...

And this, is one of the bigger problems IMO. I really wish the kite Co's would get away from the yearly model. Why put time constraints on yourself? How can you make real improvements and innovations on a 6 month timeline? I can't even recall how many times you hear people say "X kite was really go...

Hi, I am kite designer and that's the way I do: 1- Make the design of the major size 12-10sm. Because it is more easy to test, you save time and make more tests. 2 -You test the 12-10sm and make trim, if you are ont happy : new design new prototype... 3-When this size is OK, you make the other sizes...

Hi All,

Yes I test a "V" foil (like hdropter). It doesn't work. The V foil (like the L foil) needs to be ride flat. So It is really difficult to ride like this.

You can see some picture one the Kitefoil forum.
