In my statement I was talking generally and not specifically about 13.4 Cloud vs 12m Airush Ultra.

In deep water and waves, why do you find it more fun with the 70 instead of the 90 ? With the shorter mast I have better control and I can turn easier, faster and tighter because I have less submerged mast in the water. The foil is much more agile, reactive and more fun to ride and now I always pre...

The Cloud 13.4m is 2.3kg, half a kg less than the ultra 12m and about the same weight as the ultra 9m, which is why I went with the Cloud for surviving lulls. It would be good to get a chance to ride both back to back and also test relaunch. Making assumptions which kite will survive better in lull...

Definitely 28"!

I have been riding 90 cm mast for two years and now it is collecting dust after I bought the 70 cm in the beginning of this summer - much more fun!

Can anyone compare the 7m to the 2017 ? I need to upgrade from my 2014. Not much difference in 2017, I suppose you mean 2018? :D I can compare only the 8m so far but I hope it helps enough. I am riding Drifters since 2014, I own 2015 and 2016 kites and I have tried also my friends 2014 and 2017 mod...

nice!!! any chance you could weigh it...? pls! thx. 2.9kg for the 5'6'' and 3kg for my friends 5'8'' with pad and fins (3) also added 2 fin plugs for the remaining 2 fin boxes so roughly 200gr more than advertised by they do say that there could be as much as 5% variation in weight due to the hand ...

Although duck tack and roll tack are technically the same manoeuvre - carving the board 180° upwind and turning the body facing the nose, the foot work and the "movement" of the board are different. Using duck tack for foils or roll tack for surfboards sounds weird to me. Tacks on surfboard and foil...

End of last summer we were 2, now we are 5.

i never change my feet and ride 50% heel and toeside. i dont even think i can ride heelside in my weak direction anymore but ill prob change that up soon. unless you are racing, theres no need to really learn it If you invest some time and learn to ride in your weak stance you will be amazed that y...

IMO practicing things on both sides as much as I can (not only kiteing) is not only beneficial as a functional move, but it will aid my overall ability as I force my brain and muscle memory. Of course it will "never" be equal, but it can be close. For example when you play ping-pong and your oponen...
