Re: Strutless gems - BRM clouds compared to Storm Voyager?

I don't know anything about the Storm Voyager but I do know that I love my Clouds.
A month ago I bought a 7m and 9m. I thought I would need a 12m as my next kite, instead I needed a 5m. One word: awesome.

Re: my learning progession on a hydofoil

Well, congratulations Meteo, I hope to be like you some day. I'm still having a hard time maintaining the foil longer than 10 seconds. Today I will move it forward by 1" (MHL w/adjustable track). I've noticed the LF foil strut is FWD of the rear foot....so that's my next move. Maybe the LF is just e...

Re: Watch this Video and critique me.....please.

Mikesids, I like what you are saying about 'let the pull come from the harness", here's why. Yesterday I went out again, same conditions as the day of the video. My foil rides are getting a bit longer, possibly only 10 or 15 seconds at a time. Everything's fine, I'm perfectly still, just going along...

Re: Watch this Video and critique me.....please.

Thank you all for your tips, suggestions and compliments. I will try to post more videos as I progress. Meteo, I want to see more of you because I'm close behind you. Juandesooka, I like your suggestion about relaxing more. I'm very smooth on my directional, now I just have to do that with the foilb...

Watch this Video and critique me.....please.

I'm trying to learn this awesome new sport before I get too old (64 now). I have gotten a few very short rides... I'm better w/right foot forward, which doesn't make sense to me because I am not a goofy-foot. Been kiting over 15 years and riding a directional for 6. A few questions I have are: 1) sh...

Re: my learning progession on a hydofoil

Are you using footstraps? 1, 2 or 3 straps? I'm using the NSI kling-on hooks but I feel that I can't get a solid feel for the board once I'm up and riding. I get thrown off too easy. I'm thinking of trying 2 straps on the front and leaving the hook on the back. Another question for you, or anyone re...

Re: my learning progession on a hydofoil

I'm enjoying reading how you are progressing. I am also a KBHF beginner. I am about 15 hours behind you....still doing the "bucking bronco" thing. My longest foil so far is about 4 seconds. Your first video impressed me. I was not able to get going on my first session. I would like for you to post a...

Another thing. My favorite bar of all time was the Longhorn bar. All carbon with no plastic end pieces. I would like to see it make a comeback.

Re: Bars Breaking??? How many people have ever had theirs f

I have seen the stainless screws that hold the bar ends on some older Best bars get rusty and break. If you are still using an older Best bar try taking the screw out. If it comes out then replace it with a new one. If it breaks when trying to remove it, then just drill right next to it and install ...
