Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

So now you know why I hate Soul so much. Or any foil kite. At some point, it is about the investment and fun, and whatsnot I have not had to swim in my Soul for the last 40+ sessions. In the meantime, I have enjoyed the performance of a foil kite, which is far superior to that of ANY tube ever made...

Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

I hope this first post works. ..., the kite would suddenly invert on the lulls. After several more sessions with inversion problems (where the Soul's and Sonic's did not have problems), I ... Thanks! This sounds like Ozone R1 problem from some years ago. Here is a catch, and I know that does not he...

Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

Had another two sessions today on 12m - one good and another not so much. It was blowing 8-15knots, mostly around 10 and I had to do all transitions with downloops. The first 30min session was good and out of 9 jumps one was over 8m, three over 7m and the rest over 5-6m. I'm very happy that with su...

Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

. I would have tell you if I had any interest to biaise my opinion on the kite. Why? Thats nuts. Its not like any of us would not have ANY bias whatsoever. We all do. And no one would have any punishment if not disclosing it. This forum is just fun, not a legal binding or anything for the users. An...

Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

Im dying of laughing... … - put the foil kite in a drink and it will be N times more in weight … ….An LEI will survive way way more then an ultralight foil in water. And not to mention a front stalls and tomahawking. My Soul ripped 9 panels, that is 950 Euros cost to fix. Or good elbow grease. You ...

Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

Im dying of laughing... Looks like saving 10% or whatever will make one a World champion. Except, one fact: - put the foil kite in a drink and it will be N times more in weight Or, it might be a 200L of weight. Lighter fabric will rip like a paper with 200L of water. Everything is a compromise. An L...

Re: Kite pump ideas collection

So they dont look at me like Im smuggling a mini rocket launcher :) Or a diving gear. This means the main pump body should be made of two parts...

Re: Sad loss today

To those of you who dont know......... wait, i bet most kiteboarders don't know, the big buckles on the side of the harness which hold the spreader bar belt, act as i quick release when pulled out and away from the body. You know, the ones you pull to loosen the harness. They act as a quick release...

Re: Kite Helmet

If someone is convinced that bucketing does not exist, maybe try moving your head near to water to fetch some. The reason why Gath is popular is less or non existing bucketing. And the guy who owns Gath is near to my place. He is/was dedicated surfer in the surfing center of Australia - Margaret Riv...
