. I already had 10-15 sessions on a 133cm Jaime SLS (I weigh 65kgs) and really liked it.
I have a Lieuwe Shotgun, but if you have a board that you really like then stay with it. 8)

The regular Shotgun is a pretty stiff board! Get's away with it because of the channels but surprised to hear it described as soft!
The Shotgun is not soft, just feels smooth because of the highly effective channelling. Always has grip.

Eleveight also use the same fabric as the SLS in their OS (One strut) model.
You means that Eleveight one strut kites are also Stronger, Lighter, Superior? Well, you could have knocked me down with a feather! Maybe. :lol:

Re: Aluula\SLS alternatives ?

Regular Ozone kites are pretty much the same weight as Duotone SLS equivalents. Duotone are taking the piss. Just like the BMW mantra "The Ultimate Driving Machine" or the Audi mantra "Vorspung Durch Technik", both of which are intended to persuade the consumer that they are somehow superior to othe...

Re: Duotone Entity broke...

You can see that it will fit by first inserting one tab, sliding it along a bit, then inserting the other tab. Oh, and nice board. :thumb: It's not as easy as it sounds due to the straight squares that need to go in vertically which does not work when doing it 1 by 1 but with some wiggling etc it d...

Re: Duotone Rebel SLS 2022

These new Duotone SLS kites weigh about the same as regular Ozone kites. The SLS kites don't have pulleys either*, and anyone remember the Duotone cartoon showing off the advantage of 5 lines kites effectively slagging off 4 line kites? What a load of Duotone marketing bollocks, you couldn't make it...

Re: Ralf Groesel and Bullshit Light Wind Claims

There are PLENTY of YouTube videos out there documenting sub 7 knot foil rides. I'm not getting involved in this argument, but the power of the wind increases at the square of the increase in velocity. To illustrate the point I've ignored drag etc. Some basic arithmetic, if 7 knots is 100% power: 7...
