pulsion 18. And Yes Indeed, i started and foiled up directly at 45 dégree, no taxi phase, bord Nevers flat on the water, the downwind rail of the board never touching the water . That is quite fun, and a bit similar to Twintype waterstarts, with rear foot pressure while resisting the kite loop. But then, one violent charge in front foot pressure as soon as you stand up...
This also makes me conclude that the impressive good result of my very small board in such low wind is highly due to the huge huge power of Pulsion 18m. I doubt I will be able to do the same with a smaller kite (in 4 knots) even with my hysper 14m...
So for lower wind objective, (say 3-4 knots tobtry to put figures), where only the hysper should stay in the air enough to get ashore, i will need my 110 litres floaty board to avoid the classic waterstart phase, but climb up on the bord at 0 speed, then benefit of a better glide at almost no speed to build step by step my speed and then foil-up.
Not sure how fun it will be or not, we'll see.
