Re: Advantages of kite foil in foiling

I use ozone hyperlinks, a moderate aspect ratio foil kite with shorter and less complicated bridles. In size 13-9-7. The 13 and 9 are magic, the 7 is OK. I came from 16 years on lei kites, then spent a year hydrofoiling with north monos. For me the list of benefits: 1. I can self launch and land wi...

Re: Advantages of kite foil in foiling

I struggle to understand the concept of an easier re launch with foil kites as where ever I travel I often see riders swimming in with a water logged kite. I myself am considering a foil kite for sub 10 knts wind days but I have to say I'm wavering due to seeing so many riders swimming with them.

Re: Ozone alpha on foil

An Alpha is rather expensive. Buy a Naish Boxer. Much cheaper, hardly any downsides (if any) compared with the Alpha. Or buy a Flysurfer Peak4. For a foil kite it is relatively easy to handle. It took me about 3 sessions to getting used to the Peak (my first-ever foil kite), now I´m really loving i...

Re: Full face helmet for foiling?

I wear the Gath Gedi helmet with the full face visor and have been very happy with it. I wear it for cut and sun protection more than impact protection which it really isn’t rated for it. If I wanted impact protection I would go with a white water kayaking helmet or maybe downhill skiing helmet. Hi...

Re: Eleveight CS vary 2021 vs 2020

Hello Guys. I have already raised this point with my dealer who said he would pass on the info to you but I haven't heard anything back as yet.

Re: Tarifa Rescue - Don't make the same mistake

Couldn’t you just pay them for that rescue? Might have been cheaper than a new board ... PS: I don’t recommend kiting in Tarifa in Levante. Gusty crap. Rather go east to the spots there. Not always. If Levante Is blowing with a bit more south (usually the last few days it blows) it can be lovely at...
