Re: Best hydrofoil wave kite: ConceptAir Firefly vs. Flysurfer Peak 4

@stefFZ are there more images or videos or Marc's recent wave riding style (with and without bar holding) than the ones you already posted? Thanks for these nice teaser. merci The only one I have was at the end of a session from the car ... a crappy video in crappy waves (which is certainly not rep...

Re: Best hydrofoil wave kite: ConceptAir Firefly vs. Flysurfer Peak 4

As for me and strapless surfing with a surfboard (not a freestyle surfboard)... I have tried 4 and 6m in the waves. The drift is impressive, it is just about surfing, you don't need to pilot the kite .. it's almost as you have no kite. Right now, however I am not sure I am ready to let go all the ot...

Re: Best hydrofoil wave kite: ConceptAir Firefly vs. Flysurfer Peak 4

Do you know if Marc also goes unhooked in waves as I have seen in his lightwind video in a small bay and does he uses normal chickenloop setups? He has his leash on the CL, he unhooks, lets the kite go and surfs the wave. He doesn't use the bar while surfing with his FFs. When he goes out of the wa...

Re: Best hydrofoil wave kite: ConceptAir Firefly vs. Flysurfer Peak 4

As far as I remember, Marc uses surf/Sup hydrofoils around 1400 cm2 combined with Fireflies 1.5; 2.5, 4 and 6. As for the mast I don't know as I not really interested in hydrofoiling :-) ... this sort of waves are for strapless surfing for me to be able to stay in the pocket :-) This said, Marc is r...

Re: Launching in strong winds

It wasn't staying in the cobra for very long probably due to the gusty conditions. So I flew it slowly to 12, however it was sitting so far back in the wind window it was pulling me along the beach (surfing on my flipflops). I guess more pre inflation is the answer. Yes it is. The more you are in t...

Re: Best hydrofoil wave kite: ConceptAir Firefly vs. Flysurfer Peak 4

Firefly 1,5 m² you mentioned in the other topic. Can you say here or there something more about it, have you heared when it will be ready, etc. ? Thanks When Benoît visited us in South of France this year, he came with a final FireFly 1.5 prototype. Marc (Blanc) asked him to keep it as he rides wit...

Re: Flysurfer Peak 4

FYI, a very good rider in France who is on LesFoilZ.com (Marc Blanc, this guy: http://www.lesfoilz.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=159) used to cut peaks and to make smaller ones out of them. It worked. That could be a possibility. He is now riding on CA FireFlies as they come in 1.5 / 2.5 and 4m (a...
