Nice video! What size pivot is used in the video, and what windspeed? Looks like it keeps up to the single strut kites with no issue. ThanksMarcel Surf Life wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 4:09 pmFootswitches, tacks, 360 and sitting on a foil board...

Re: Learning new foil moves = countless crashes
Hi folks,
thanks
This is a Naish Pivot in 10m and in my opinion, it has a good low end for a 3 strut, but honestly everything below 10 knots is no fun
. I can start (with a 1050cm fronting) with not less than 8 knots, but that's work and it may happen that the kite falls out of the sky, when you make a small steering mistake. No water relaunch below 10 knots... Between 10 and 12 knots its hard the relaunch and easy with more than 12 knots...
In that session we had in the beginning 10 knots and in the end 12.
The spot is Maasvlakte in Holland.
Cheers mates and enjoy riding...
thanks
