Re: Beginner progression

I am a bit dubius about advocating boards under 1 meter? Yes, I know many like really supershort boards, especially when using straps. But IMO you have quite a lot of disadvantages with these - and only an advantage if you mentally think they ride better :rollgrin: You are quite light at 68 kg so y...

Re: Beginner progression

Thinking the time has come to change to a smaller board , I’m currently on a north sense 135 and have been eyeing up a Dwarfcraft 110 as they have some decent sales at the moment. How much do you weigh? What foil are you riding? Are you riding strapless? Are you comfortable looping the kite to get ...

Re: Boardbag recommendation

Remember to research the weight of whatever you choose as the weight of your bag reduces the weight of what you are allowed to put in it...... I favour basic Mystic sleeve board bags as they are light and Kraft liner Board or Bubble wrap can be added to protect things as you pack .

Re: I broke my ribs, what next?

I have done this to myself with kites and a bicycle .................... coughing is not pleasant, but the worst for me was sneezing, the sneeze itself was ok but the re inflation of the lungs was agonising. I had a Dakine impact vest and a waist harness, when I fell the tip of the foil wing caught ...
