Still quite a bit of variability between brands and versions. In general, v2 and v3 are better than v1. Very immature market. Expect dramatic improvements in the next several years in terms of design and materials

If nothing else, riding stabless will dramatically improve your overall foiling skills. Flying foot switches is very difficult

To me it means I start thinking this would be more fun with a smaller wing. Very subjective.

A lot depends on the type of wing you have. Stiffer wings are much more difficult to handle overpowered than softer wings.

coming across an unexpected problem with my booties while hydrofoiling. i got some nice new booties, 5mm,,, more than warm enough for me but when hydrofoiling, i noticed as soon as i water start, the fact that i am up in the air and going 15 mph into the already 15+ mph wind,, the water that is in ...

I need to elbow patch a wetsuit and was looking for something more durable than plain neoprene but still stretchy like what manufacturers use for knee patches.

Thanks

Agree that it is the current state of the art. Only missing what Balz is doing

Talking about types of waves more specific to knee low height, this is the kind of wave I have in front of my beach house, this waves has a short period and I ride a Slingshot Space Skate. What I can notice is that this wing give me a lot of turning ability, I can ride at low speed and when I appro...

Smaller stabs mean less drag and more glide. So you can gain maneuvering and glide. The penalty is pitch stability. I do see a trend on the surfing side for more glide higher aspect ratio wings. That seems to translate over to the kite world with less kite power and more wave power when riding. So ...

Agree that there is too much torque on hooks for winging. I was strongly against straps when kitefoiling but I think winging is very different and straps are clearly beneficial. 1. With winging, the foil and board are bigger than with kiting so straps make a bigger difference. 2. Pumping is much mor...

Is there a specific "mono only" rationale for the change to low beam that doesn't apply for a foil with a stabiliser? What is "low beam"? 8) Peter Never really thought about how many meanings "beam has before" Obviously in this context, the nautical one: a ship's breadth at its widest point. "a cut...
