Build a wood board. Add thick deck pad if it does t float enough.
Use 17m cloud.
I never tried a c17, but i think it's better than the genesis, even than the genesis with the jackomixer.Mikey wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2020 12:23 pmPeak is tops, Genesis > C17??
@Simone - Grazie mille per l'info! I generally go to Caorle or Sottomarina if the wind is better and time permits. Santa Croce is a bit mayhem (I like my launch space ) I'm still looking or the secret spot in the NE of the lagoon (Meno strada da sotto Treviso). After the virus, we should hook up for a ride

A friend learned to foil with peaks, and progressed very quickly. He had excellent kite skills to start with. It made transitions much easier for him, all the time in the world to go from heel to toeside. Also much easier with the ample depower, and gentle down loops.Peter_Frank wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:52 pmontmcfarla wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2020 4:30 pmI would not plan on learning to foil with a kite that doesn't relaunch reliably.

So true, happens to everyone when learning, no matter how good they were beforehand
