Re: Moses SABfoil

Hi, wondering if anyone tried and has feedback, on riding the new W699 wing combined with the old fuselage 710 and S483 stabilizer (and old 91cm mast)? First of all, are these even compatible? Is there a way to put the W699 on the old fuselage 710? Ultimately I'm looking for a smaller front wing (cu...

Re: kiting Portugal / Spain in July

I was only for 4 days in Viana in July, and wind was too strong for my 9m (I'm 150lb weight). I was able to kite until around 1pm, when wind was picking up too strong (and had to quit). Everyone around were kiting on 6m, 7m and 8m was the max. If luggage space not a problem, I suggest to also take a...

Re: kiting Portugal / Spain in July

Thanks everyone for your feedback! I've returned from my trip and just want to share a few thoughts how things went out. First of all, because of the luggage constrains, I only took one kite with me, the 9m, and I kinda regretted afterwards. Basically, during my stay the wind was either too strong (...

Re: kiting Portugal / Spain in July

Thanks for providing the link for Guincho webcam! What time of the year were you in Santa Rita? Also, what kite size did you use? Just to echo post on guincho wind when we were there, it kicks in about noon, and would peak around 5pm to sunset. Although we didn’t kite peniche, we went there to surf....

Re: kiting Portugal / Spain in July

Here are some waves I was riding last Dec at Juno Beach, Florida. One big difference, here it's open, a huge sandy beach with no hazards on sight, whereas Guincho seems to have a relative narrow opening, surrounded by lots of rocks on both side. That gives Guincho a very small margin for errors ...

Re: kiting Portugal / Spain in July

Thanks everyone for your comments, very much appreciated! Wow, those waves at Guincho definitely deserve a lot of respect. For Guincho, is there any time in the day when the wind is not as strong e.g. around noon time or closer to sunset? My favorite kiting playground is the Caribbean / Florida, whe...

La Ventana in mid-April

I'm heading to La Ventana in mid-April, and wondering if anyone could comment what to expect from the wind. I understand is pretty much hit or miss, and less predictably; due to weakening of El Norte wind and relying more on thermals. For a 10 days time-frame, how many days (min/max) I can expect to...
