A rather premature statement as there are still a lot of open questions. We do not know how Aluula will impact kite design in the future yet. The Ram Air concept allow to design high aspect kites. Can Aluula do the same? We don't know yet. Can Aluula be used for Ram Airs to make them even lighter? We don't know yet.
That's simply not true in marginal winds. Modern freeride foil kites like Soul and Nova will relaunch in much lighter winds than LEIs.longwhitecloud wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 12:19 amthe simple fact that the likelyhood of not being able to relaunch is way higher
