Ask you wife if she feels more stable on high heels versus flat shoes... lol, why would I compare it to something totally unrelated and incomparable when I actually own a long and short mast? Come back and have a chat when you actually used a long and short mast mast with the same foil and board......

haver to move your body a lot more to achieve the same correction that's the opposite of stable. No it is MORE stable if you need to move more: On a short mast just being off a little with your weight to the front will immediately nosedive the board which feels very twitchy. On a long mast a little...

I think it's the other way around. If the nose of the foil is going down and you need to move the mast 10 degrees backward to correct the pitch you will need a much longer movement with a 100m mast probably several meters to get 10 degrees on the fuselage versus only a few centimetres on a 50cm mas...

It is a matter of taste: Longer mast is more stable but others might call it dull. Isn't it the other way around a longer mast is less stable that's why beginner learn on a shorter mast. A longer mast means the movement that you have to do to keep the foil stable is accentuated by the leverage effe...

It is a matter of taste: Longer mast is more stable but others might call it dull. I personally prefer long masts because it makes learning new tricks easier due to the stability but if you eg want to ride waves I can see that it might feel too slow. Isn't it the other way around a longer mast is l...

So many huge sales in the US now I would get it at home. Imported goods are expensive in Cabarete. You might get a deal on a used kite but they ride a lot there and used kites are pretty worn.

I have tried the XR 8 but not the Pro if you don't loop no point going for the Pro. The XR 8 is a great kite Core kites retain their value really well very few people ride Harlem maybe they are good but it will be harder to sell if you don't like it! with Core you know what you are getting into!

I have the North Carbon Fiber setup with the MA1050 V1 and I also have a Moses 633 they are very different foils but both very good. The MA1050 is more efficient it doesn't go up planing as quickly as the 633 but once you are going it's amazing it's more efficient you can glide better with less wind...

It's amazing to read this post... and fun in the same time. Back in 2015 when I was in Bali, I had rented a 17m because of light wind (with my 58 kg), and even saw a 19m, which was the biggest kite I've ever seen in my short kitesurfing life - I started in 2014. I have not yet tried kitefoil but in...
