Hey again :)

Havent been some time here.
Got bored a bit with Nova, havent used it lately so much and decided to sell it.
Thought that i would like to have bigger foil kite and bought it today, Soul 15m.
Tho thinking now, maybe Sonic would be better choise becouse it has better perfomance as i understand :roll:
Many recommended Soul, why not Sonic?

Would have some questions.
How to boost well with this kite? Technique, lines, bar length, board, conditions etc.
Some other tips about kite, doing airstyle...?

I am confused by some statements in this thread
Some suggested that you would need a higher aspect ratio kite. Wouldnt you need a lower aspect for the hang time?

One other question, Toby do you use small board becouse its eazy to manage board when doing board off or is it combination of rasons?

It helps with tricks when it is smaller (but not lighter).

Plus with a smaller board you can hold more power of the kite

Hey Toby i would have few questions, if you got a moment.
What spot or spots would you recommend to go in Egypt, for airstyle mainly? Are you maybe there now or going?
Also i would consider to be important that there is social life, bars, girls etc? How about that?
I dont like package tickets, probably would stay for 2 months or so, decide when im there when to come back.
Would it be possible, how are accommodation prices, maybe you have some recommendations?
Good flat water, windy spot, food, beer, okay accommodation, internet, women, thats all i need :D
