Re: Viron3 in 8m for light Wind foiling? Good Idea?

The 6m is okay in above 23 knots. Smooth while riding, but very little power to get it going.

Super easy relaunch. Don't buy it, but if you have nothing else in the van it's okay.

Re: Fill center of carbon bar with epoxy

At least this time I´ll be smarter and try first with water if it let´s fluid through, before I fill in epoxy;)

"could break": I ordered 3mm diameter this time. Even 2mm seemed bombproof to me after 10 sessions.

"you wear through the bar eating away your depower cord ": Indeed. I use a tube now.

Fill center of carbon bar with epoxy

Hi,
how do you fill the center (let's say 10cm) of a carbon bar with epoxy? I filled in a stopper from one side (wood) and filled in the epoxy from the other side. Was a mess because the stopper let through some epoxy.

How did you do it? What did you use as a stopper?

Re: How I built my own kite surfing bar

Anyone know how this velcro works?

It's for keeping the flagout-frontline in place, but I wonder how it releases in emergency case?

Re: New Progression Foot Change video review

Congrats that you obviously managed the footchange in one or two sessions. It took me years to get it right strapless in gusty and choppy conditions;)

I am surprised too that carving turns are planned before tacks in the Progression series. I think carving turns are easy.

New Progression Foot Change video review

Though I can do already the foot change, the progression video made my footchanges much more consistent (before: 80%, after: 95%). The videos come from another universe concerning the quality of explanation. There are some tutorials on youtube, but this video is much longer and much has much more de...

Re: Wave SST - Upwind?!

I agree. For Foiling it´s nice because you go upwind like crazy anyway. But for waveboard it´s going upwind badly.

Re: Flying footswitch learning time

Are there any goals to go for while learning pumping? I can do it both sides anf toeside now, but not very safely. When I put my feet to a narrower stance, then I cannot pump anymore? At least it gets very wobbeling then and in that narrow stance I cannot pump anymore. So I put the board onto the su...

Re: Switch Kites thoughts?

Try it out. You can send the kite back and get the money back if you don´t like it. I have two Element2s and I love them.
