Re: where do foil kites start to leak when they get old?

I wonder how much performance is lost after say 200 hours on the Soul 1/ Sonic 3

I have my Sonic 3's for a while and I don't see much of a difference in performance.

Re: Unwanted Rotation on Big Airs

Those are my most fun, but scariest jumps on hydrofoil.

Landing them isn't that difficult, although it is very scary. You just need to forget everything and remember which way you jumped, keep pulling on your back hand for a few seconds, then redirect with front hand

Re: Kite line splicing - long bury vs locked Brummel

Question

What if you were to let the end of the splice exit the splice so that the tip is not buried, and not tapered

Would that cause the lines to snap similar to how a non- tapered line wears out the line at the end of the splice?

Asking for a lazy friend....

50cm ozone bar at the moment. I have a longer bar bit it needs new lines as incredibly stretched through use on my soul.
Definitely need a 60cm for the 13m

Re: Short lines for better high end

So I keep hearing people on the beach talk about just getting short lines to extend the high end of kites for foiling. My question is - how or why does it work (hydrofoil specific please)? Now I understand the bit about not generating as much power as it sweeps across the window but if I'm on a 9m ...

Re: Sonic 3 11m or 13m?

I bought the 13m sonic 3 in the end. A soul absoloutly lover the hang time allows you to do board and stuff just a couple feet off the water. Not fond any other that gives you the time to do that. I am curious still if the 11m could of done that for me but with better steering input. Any one got a ...

Re: Foil sanding to get rid of turbulence

I am experiencing turbulence and draggy noise when riding at low speeds. Already sanded both mast and back wing trailing edges both sides at 30 degrees and still there. I did more than 20 pre session sanding and now it is quite sharp. What would happen if I sand them square tips at 90 degrees? Are ...
