No Problems. It's as lot lighter than the Noir Matter Setup and less parts where a line can snag. So far I have not had any issues.

Hey,
Since lockdown has been eased here on Holbox and we've been able to kite. I decided it was time for a new trick (New for me). I watched Steven AkkersDijk's video on how to do the around the world and decided to give it a try.
Here's the result. Some nearlies, a few fails and a couple of fairly clean attempts. The best ones I managed were without the pressure of the camera as always...

Give it a try.

Had some wet and rainy days here in Holbox - So I finally got some time to edit some old footage.
Sadly I lost this foil and board about a month ago during a rescue however a friend kindly set up a crowd funding site so that I can replace it
. Thanks so much to all that helped out - I should be back up and foiling on my new ride soon.
