Re: What is considered a lot of sessions?

Lets say its agressive kiting. But not on the level of a pro wakestyle rider. Mainly surf style and foil.

Re: Foilboards in waves

I'm really into this concept. I started on the LF Foil Fish and am now riding the MAgma Barracuda which foils really early and is super stable. I've started to catch some unbroken swells at my local beach - nothing like the Laird Hamilton videos - but am having lots of fun. I'm flying foil kites ge...

What is considered a lot of sessions?

How many sessions to you consider to be a lot of sessions? I am thinking specifically in terms of gear wear and tear. Do you think 75 sessions is a lot for something to be "worn out"?

Re: 2015 North Neo 1-2 sizes smaller?

I have no experience with North. That being said, every few years companies come out stating this type of thing. Its been discussed at length. SS admits to having larger sized kites then printed on the wing tip (not a lot but a little) for instance the kite may say 10m but really is a 9.35m then the...

Re: LF Element vs Carbon Element vs Legacy

never used the Legacy. I had an Element Carbon and still have an Element (wood). Both 139. I really like the element wood version with no fins and boots. It goes upwind very well (as the carbon does) but the main difference is the Element has a stiffer ride. The Carbon is more flexible with less pop...

Whats the dumbest thing you will admit too?

Whats the dumbest thing you have done (kiting related) that you are willing to admit too? Saturday i forgot my foil was on the roof of my car, vertically like an antenna, and drove through the drove through window at rhe bank and ripped the foil out of the board. I will say this, its a MHL foil with...

Re: tethered understanding

I do tethered launch and landings on a weekly basis. Some kites sit much nicer then others regardless of it being on the water or land. Also when the wind is light or strong for that particular kite that can make it do funny things. I use a rope with clips, i actually ride with it on my harness inca...

Re: How many times a year is it too windy for your smallest

My theory is if i pass today i could live to kite tomorrow! Last year in New Jersey i used a 6 envy once where i was really jacked up and it was not fun. I get 5-10 or more days on a 7 so thats really my small one (really its my wifes kite)... I can also use it to foil. I get lots of 8m and 10m days...
