Also, FlySplit boards join without screws and only use pins which is much faster and no tools are needed - I don't think this has ever been done before. This makes it possible to easily break it down after each session. But do the pins ever come loose and fall out?
Fixed bridle, non-depowerable - sounds like the flexi blade no? I used to use these on the water, like someone has already mentioned really great in the right conditions but a bit of a nightmare when it's gusty. And obviously, you crash... your swimming.Dave_5280 wrote:Have you considered making a non-depowerable fixed bridle foil kite? I like the additional power from my land only foils with fixed bridles.

The power, and more specific, the powerspike - is awesome, for a fixed and very optimized 2 line foil kite, indeed.
But having said that - we just HATED those back in the days, except for "perfect" conditions - which never happened

Ha, how random... that's Chris one of the lads that got me into riding blades. I switched to inflatables a few years back but he's still going on his foils and still jumping twice as high as the inflatables!
