Note that slingshot also has a similarly priced pump board.

I guess there might be more if you look for it.

Another good inexpensive option might be the new takoon pump board:
90cm/10L for 400 euro.

Depends on what you are looking for exactly. I have the microchip and for travel it is great BUT it has some drawbacks: eg it barely floats with my foil (kraken 100cm with 699) and no longer comes downwind quickly. It also doesn’t have any bindings if you want to do jumps. I would personally go with...

Maybe a Hilux Double Cab? In most parts of Europe that’s going to be hard to find, very expensive to run (fuel at over 2 euro a litre) and it’s just too inconveniently big for most cities. If you want reliable a Toyota Auris station is probably the best option out there that is also very cheap to r...

Look here for accurate dimensions of car boot space;

I would stay away from any direct injected petrol car from that era since most have them have issues with carbon build up.

Shame he doesn’t do it on an empty beach and away from air traffic. Almost hit a bunch of people when launching the kite didn’t go as expected. As an “ambassador” of the sport Kevin really does a bunch of bullshit (eg also kiting in nature reserves in places where there is already high pressure to c...

I think it is likely you will indeed want to use the foil more than the 9m. Also hard winds might be just a couple of hours at the start or end of day. However it is a pain to get to foil depth (long walk with potential nasty stuff on the seabed) AFAIK none of the kite spots have access to immediate...

How I see it ( I own a first gen Aluula Roam 10m) Aluula makes the kite move faster, especially moving up against gravity. Because it is faster it can create more apparent wind when moving the kite so you get more power. However IMHO it is not a real replacement for m2: Static pull when “parking” th...

Not exactly but I own both a Kauper Falcon 11M foil kite (1700gr) and a first gen Aluula roam in 10m. The foil kite has a bit better low end (it’s also 1m bigger…) It will stay in the air with less winds but note that at 1700gr the Falcon is extremely light. Other than the low end they are extremely...

I am surprised they organise anything around this time. Windy season is in June AFAIK. I was there this year for 5 weeks and the twintip (which the name and picture suggests) conditions were mostly 15m+ kites for, on average, max maybe 8 hours every week. The only thing that IMHO would make some sen...
