Lots of snow fell this weeks in the alps, kitech might spend more time on a mountain than answering emails right now.
I've been reading about you guys riding small kites in light wind. In my 4 years of foiling I don't have that experience at all. I've been on foil kites almost 3 years. Kitesurfing 19 years.Peter_Frank wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 5:48 pmTomW wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 1:44 pmI had a session last Sunday on 6m FRS.12ms with gusts into 15 ms. Windfinder said 17ms. 1,5m windswell with chop on top. 20m lines , 80 kg , 1000cm2 foil, Gong veloce M.
I was very powered and at times over powered, had to drift kite in gybes it was so strong wind and big steep swells with short period. Sketchy launch, but kite inflates in air almost instantly.
One gybe I flew downwind and kite rushed to edge of window and i was on my way to a round the world. The kite luffed, inverted and crashed to the water blowing out the TE vents. I got it sorted and up again and it flew fine with the vents open. 100% rider error.
Kite works really well in high winds. I probably should have had 15m lines. It was limit of top end.
2 weeks ago I had 6-9ms session. Thats wind I would usually use my 9m hyperlink v2. Still had fun even though there were a few lulls and did stall launch. Quite impressive low end for a 6m. I even could do heel to toeside tacks, kite has good lift, upwind glide at 1200 and fast redirect. Its improvement over hyperlink 7m V1.
6-9 m/s is a lot of wind for a 6 m2 double skin foilkite.
I would have expected it to go down even lower than a single skin like the Peak, which goes down to 5 and 6 m/s in 6 to 5 m2 sizes.
Would also expect other efficient double skin small kites, to have a low end lower than the single skins, as they are faster and less drag?
Unless they are designed for high winds and range of course...
How does t.ex a 6 m2 Soul cope in terms of low end?
Quite interesting - there are very little knowledge about small (dualskin) foil kites 3- 6 m2, as foilracers never use these, and even if, it is not regarding low end.

I have not had any luck getting Kitech to refund the VAT (I'm in San Diego).PrfctChaos wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 9:07 pmYes, that is the price shown on the website, but Im not in Europe.
