Re: Kite school litigation in Texas

Long ago I was selling my first LEI and bundling it with a harness and a board. So the dude is trying the waist harness and it doesn’t fit him quite a bit even though being about same size as I am. And as he’s trying to buckle it, his t-shirt slides up showing a gun stuck in his pants, which he was ...

Efoils having Deja Vu moment of Segway fate

2024 winging revolution

Has anyone who’s lucky enough to witness prototypes’ testing noticed funny change on 2024 wings? I'm talking about seemingly overbuilt and reinforced connection on wing outer edges, with a massive loop? La Ventana becoming deserted after a busy season leaves pro-riders and testers behind and the mys...

Re: Why is wingfoiling so popular?

My question though is what is the goal of the progression you are striving for? Want to ride waves at Chicama, I get it, but mowing the lawn on a wing foil is hardly progress. Just like in kiteboarding where overwhelming majority is mowing the lawn and hopping 7 feet, right? Then there are tricks w...
