Comments from a foil kite and hydrofoil novice! I have the Pansh Aurora II in 15m and 10m - most experience on 15m - maybe 5-6 times with only 3 on water with TT. Don't be surprised by the amount of "backstall" required in the foil kite. I got the Pansh bar with 25m lines and in the 60 cm size, got ...

Thanks Peter. Unfortunately with age all joints get stiff except the one you wish still did!!!!

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. Spent almost an hour in a pool with board and foil. Better understanding of "sweet spot" for balancing board and bringing it up. Hope it transfers to use with kite. I've definitely got stiffer joints with age!!!

Have a LF Happy foil and happy pill board.

My review of Aurora 2 in 15m. I bought the Aurora II in 15m since my last posting. Got it because of price, thought it could be lower wind kite, and because wind has been too pitiful to fly the 10m. Finally had opportunity to go out in about 10-16mph. Ocean but inside breakwater so not much wave act...

Bought 2 Pansh now. First after 4-5 days my account order showed a tracking number and arrived in a total of 13-14 days. Second never showed tracking number or even that it was shipped but arrived in about same time. They just do not respond to emails - unless, as with a friend, they want to get an ...
