Re: Recommended Hydrofoil for Big Air?
Personally I don't like to go too small a wing for jumping...... I find the best technique to get height is to bear off and when you send the kite to pitch the foil upwards and literally sail it up out of the water into the jump. Making the traditional edge and POP seems to drag the foil upwards through the water at the cost of some height.
The benefit of a slightly larger wing (and I am talking around 850cm2 NOT the very large wings) is it makes landing and staying on the foil massively easier.
