Feedback:

After 6 month more foiling, actually not so many Sessions:


- changed to smaller frontwing: from 1250ccm down to 800ccm (and another 700ccm Wing, which is very small)

- changed to smaller Board: now 108 cm.

- changed Stab:

THOSE CHANGES AND MORE TIME FOILING:
In normal conditiones No Matter what size Kite :
EVERYTHING IS PRETTY "RELAXING"

So six month ago: Combination of Sotavento AND too big Gear for my Body size gave me a hard time!!!!!


Thanks again for all your answers, which gave me confidence that it will get "relaxing"

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great - congratulations! I know the feeling - I'm still figuring it out. What's your weight if I might ask? And what equipment are you using?

For me the whole draw is that its super relaxing, I tend to put some music on some bone conduction headphones, do long runs and just try and have some complete mental downtime. I love the contrast of then winging where its more full on and hectic but so look forward to some warmer weather and kicked back kite foiling
