Re: 11m faster kite vs 12m better low end

i had 6/8/10/12 as well as 7/9/12 and now 8/11. now i would say 7/9/12 is ideal but it's also a lot of gear if you use it alone (vs sharing with partner is different story). if you want to reduce costs or you can/have already a foil the 8/11 is a nice combo. from my experience the limitation is mai...

Re: Core SLC - more game changing

many people i know had quality issues with their core kites, bars and bindings. they all got replacement but it would frustrate me if you spend premium $$$ and the stuff breaks after first or second session. if you want a really good foil i think there are better and well-established players out the...

Re: Booties - really?

i really hated booties. couldn't feel the board at all (TT and foil). now riding these french ATAN surf boots since last season and they make all the difference in the feeling for me. i use their 6mm for winter but they feel thinner and better than other 3mm i had. their secret is they use latex ins...

Re: Cabrihna double agent

i agree on avoiding the hybrid setup. if you want to do waves then get a surfboard, if your goal is foiling start straight away with it. the first couple of sessions will be frustrating but once you get the hang of it you will improve quickly and be able to enjoy the flying carpet. from my experienc...

Re: Which is your favorite kite right now?

love my ozone edge v10. really enjoy the boosting capabilities and the wind range, stability and depower - makes it just easy to get a good pop which is in my view the most important for boosting. although the sweet spot for getting the jump right is a bit smaller than on rebel or xr6 i would say. s...

Aruba in April/May and foiling

Had a trip planned to Bonaire but seems like all US flights incl ours got canceled for now. Now thinking about rebooking for Aruba end of April/beginning of May. Wonder if it's worth bringing foils besides TT. Does anyone know about the conditions for foiling down there? We'll probably stay close to...

Re: surprising development with booties, need windproof type

I currently ride the Atan Hot Mistral in 6.5mm and will never ride other booties again. Tried booties from various of the large brands over the years and never liked any of them. The really thick ones kept me warm but I lost all the feeling. My Atan provide the best feel I ever had with any booties....

Re: Duotone customer service nightmare

I tried to get in touch with Duotone through their contact formula - no answer. I DM'ed Dan here in kiteforum - no answer. So frustrating if you need a spare part. I seriously consider switching kitebrand because this is very disappointing. Not sure what Duotone believes such behavior will do to the...
