Re: Aluula Aeris: an even lighter Aluula

.... I'd stay far away from Aluula, it is not long lasting material for its task, pressure is weird thing always looking for the weakest point. Not my experience. Have had OR Aluula Roams for kite foiling & strapless surfboard for 3 years now, no problems, just great performance, also an OR Aluula ...

Re: New Kite destroyed

My friend got neck cut by kite lines when someone crashed kite at him in Greece. Cuts were nasty but luckily not life threatening. So it is not a joke to crash kite on people riding.

For op - also you try keep the distance to other kiters. As distance is your best insurance.

Re: Untangling bridle on foil kite: do I have to start with “A” line?

Do not overthink it, I don't. Just go to the nest and start pulling loops of lines out from another loops. I do it with bright bridle collection lines for easy spotting, as grey final bridge lines are harder to spot mess. Mostly the nest opens with a couple of loop pulling. If bright lines do not so...

Apple Watch is supposed to have an accelerometer built in, maybe there is already a useful app for that thing.
Surfr kite jumping software runs on watches (Apple + Wearos) with pro subscription. Without pro you need your phone.

Re: Peak 4 landing @ top end LE or TE down

Thanks for the reply joriwis. Unless I am missing something the landing you describe puts the kite down on the trailing edge (TE) and is what I, more or less, called a traditional backstall landing. I am more interested to hear about anybody landing the Peak onto the leading edge (LE). For example ...

Re: Peak 4 landing @ top end LE or TE down.

If I am without a buddy landing Peak4, I crashland it to wind window side without the leash. Quickly safety eject chickenloop, grab the steering line of wind window side, throw bar downwind keeping the steering line. Steering will flag the kite when high wind starts to roll the kite. Walk to the kit...

You see, each Woo brings its own unique flavor to the mix, and when you blend them Exactly, and guess which woo score is sent to l...
