Does anyone know of a company who sells an adapter to mount a foil with 90X140 hole spacing on a board with 90X165 insert spacing? Has anyone built an adapter? Recommendations? I'd rather not add additional inserts to my board. For that you should should be able to make your own adapter pretty easi...

Table salt is my preferred material to make a non skid deck finish. It is not as coarse as Sugar.

I ended up getting an Ozone Race control bar and lines to partner my new Flysurfer Soul (didn't like the FS bar) - surprised to find that the double pulley depower trim works way better (smoother,, less force required, more accurate adjustment) than a standard depower trim - why this isn't just use...

Stall is not a function of speed. Stall happens at a certain angle of attack. What is meant above is that at that speed, you need such a high angle of attack to support your weight (minus the kite lift) that this angle of attack is critical - stalls. I assume that gunnar said 82kg meaning no kite s...

Have your learned to foil already? If not, maybe do a course first. After that that combo will be fine. Learning be yourself on the 550 and 91cm Mast from zero, will be difficult.

Probably the combo of kite not high enough before starting the loop, and initiating the loop before starting to turn the board.

Here is a video that shows the timing. This is on a 9m kite on 10m lines.

Hi Gunnar would you suggest me a groove skate as a first board? I will buy my first foil next week (moses fluente easy) the shop proposes me a moses T60 but they have available also the groove skate that I like more ( I don't have may space in my car so I prefer a short board, and I prefer straples...
