I am 90kg and am often the only twin tip rider out with those on foils and having light wind fun around shore and shallows, not having to venture way out in case the wind dies. Complimented with my Contra’s. I can get to kite in 11 or 12kn. Do it, you won’t regret it.
Not what I said.
This is what I actually stated.Matteo V wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2019 2:08 pmFoils have limitations, including:
1. Prerequisite of good kite skills
2. Expense of initial investment
3. Strapless = mowing lawn or stuck to surface level tricks
4. Strapped = more fun but injuries likely/inevitable
5. Needs water more depth
6. Needs mostly weed/debris free water
LW TTs have the advantage in all the categories above.
But LW TTs have their own limitations, including.
1. Less upwind capability
2. 1-2knots more wind required
3. Requires larger kites (expensive)
Anyone else with SS Glide experience? Is this a good lightwind board? I guess I ask because the shape is so basic and straight. It's cool but almost too simple and pure to be true.coupdevill wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2019 3:57 am200lbs using a 149cm Slingshot Glide and Rally GT 12m it's a beautiful thing!
