But I have no proof of this.... 8) Peter Me and my friend proofed this in 2016-17. Kites RRD Religion 7 sqm vs Nord.. (green one). Foils Moses Komet vs Levitaz Bionic. Looping Religion was clearly winner with huge margin. Both in angle and speed and VMG. You reached a higher speed by looping the ki...

IMO you would still have the highest VMG downwind, without looping, even with big slow wings and small inefficient kites.

You are 100% correct

Hey guys! We are not speaking about race or near to race equipment! With freeride tube kites and freeride foils (800-1200) looping is fastest way to go deep at all. Not Ozone Edge or R1, not FS VMG(2), not even Sonic3 or comparable foils. Are you aiming to ride at a deep downwind angle, or is the a...

I agree that looping the kite is the best option to keep it flying in veey low winds if you have no board speed, but looping the kite is not the best idea to make the fastest downwind progress. In the lightest of winds the ultimate most important thing, more than anything else is to maximise the spe...

Can anyone tell me when the W1350 wing will be released?
SmartSelect_20220601-122734_Facebook.jpg

Any info on this wing?

............. just remember that you need to wash the base plate out with fresh water before placing back in the car, or the salt water will eventually spoil it. my quick release pin was not available for 6 weeks and the salt water did spoil my first base plate a little as I did leave it on the mas...

Can anyone tell me when the W1350 wing will be released? Any info on this wing?

Many different factors to determine whether to replace. How much do you weigh? How powered do you like to ride? Do you jump over shallow water? Skill and experience will also determine how much tension you can put through your lines. I'd say if you are riding not too powered, and doing only small/me...

It happens that winging was invented after kitesurfing. However, if winging had been invented first, and then kitesurfing and kitefoiling came along afterwards then we wouldnt be having this conversation.... in fact we would be talking about wingfoiling dying soo fast!
