Re: Duotone 2024 gear release date

Interesting times at duotone. Ken Winner has moved to wings and sky solbach took over there the neo and appears the rebel. We haven’t heard who boards and more hired to replace Ralf Grosel. With a lot changes in materials it seems like a bad time to lose the two top kite designers. I find it interes...

Re: Duotone Evo SLS 2024

Maybe those wight numbers will change but it doesn’t look to be lighter.

I suppose it isn’t clear if the diameter is small than previous years or smaller than the Dacron version.

And it has been slightly smaller than the Dacron version from the original evo sls.

Re: Nalu Kai QR patent - expired

I’ve always had mixed feelings on that patent. Such a fundamental safety feature.

Aluula is dangerous slippery!
No kidding and especially if it gets wet or your hands are wet.

Re: Why is wingfoiling so popular?

I just saw an ad for wings, 50% to 75% off.

Excess stock? Big changes in design? Over priced starting price?

Re: Effect of shorter lines to kite’s high end wind range

Shorter lines help as the kite sits further forwards in the window and will generate less power as it flies through the window. It won't change the static pull of the kite however. To me it feels like it changes the amount of wind you can comfortably ride without needing to add trim (as opposed to ...

Re: Aluula 3 strut - Evo vs NVision vs Hypermodel

I thought it was interesting to hear Ralf Grosel say a very important part of aluula is how it stretches and snaps back. And that he felt a lot of aluula kite designs don’t seem to appreciate that aspect. https://kitesurf365.com/mika-breaks-internet-emergency-megapod Ken Winner has also mentioned ho...
