You may find that in light wind with straps or foot hooks on a foilboard you can jump a lot higher than with a twin tip :

That's YOUR goal, what you'd love to do, but unfortunately the laws of physics are against you on that one. And a XXL kite in sub 14kts winds is not going to make you high! You need speed, and a lot of upwind capital.

To me flying high in the air is the true kiteboarding so instead of going after foil and wide door style boar I will go with 15 m kite. After I will be experiensed enough my next step will be 9 m with twin tip for those windy days and after that I will plan to get 10 m cloud (or any other no strut to single strut kite) with foil board. That is my game plan
10.4m Cloud with 32m Ozone Race lines will get you going in 9/10 knots easy @ 100kg on a foil.DeanM wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 2:15 amThank you everyone for your comments and replies!

Is one strut enough for flying high or there should be minimum of 3 struts?
Amazing air control with a hydrofoil, it might look easy but it's not.
