Re: Flysurfer Peak 5

What is the minimum line length to fly a Peak? I'd like to try it with a skate Carver. If I remember correctly, I read in this thread that someone broke part of the kite by using lines that were too short...

Re: Now: Kitesurfer drifting in Colombia (Cabo de la Vela)

This month in Sotavento, Fuerteventura, a windsurfer and a kitesurfer have disappeared... it's not for nothing, but lately there have been cardiac problems or fainting spells in all sports. If this happens to you in the sea, without a life jacket and with offshore winds, consider yourself drowned. I...

Re: Airwave ALMA single skin hybrid

Finally, they will end up closing the entire "hybrid" kite. LOL

Re: The Hybrid from Flysurfer

I got in a really good session with my 8m Peak 5 yesterday. Can anyone compare the low end power of the 9.5m Hybrid to the 8m Peak 5? During my session, there were a few lulls that got me worried, but the kite stayed dry. Not sure I would have been able to relaunch the 8m Peak if I dropped it. It s...

Re: Moses SABfoil

Can someone give me feedback on front wings with great glide? … I loved the 800 wing for kitefoil when it got released few summers ago. My friend fell in love kitefoiling on it last summer and winged on it few weeks ago just fine. 130 lbs rider though I tried 1000 wing for kitefoil and it was super...

Re: Moses SABfoil

Can someone give me feedback on front wings with great glide? To begin with, I'm not intimidated by size. I've tried the W1100 with a kite and it works perfectly fine. It's supposed to be slow and massive, but I didn't find it clumsy at all. I could easily make turns and maneuvers without any issues...

Re: "The Hybrid" from Flysurfer

I suppose that by changing to a higher profile you gain on the bottom but you also lose on the top, maybe that's why you report that the peak4 13m loses on the top compared to the hypster. Two days ago I started riding at 4/5 knots with my Peak4 13m , apart from measuring with the anemometer I knew ...

I trimmed the profile very deep (AA1..AA4+2cm,B+5cm, C+2cm). I shorted the backlines ~20cm and I use 24m lines in V configuration.
Is there any tutorial on how to do this? I don't have any experience in trimming foil kites.
Thank you.

Re: Flysurfer Peak 5 is here

This summer I was also experimenting with the peak4 13m, I think I beat everyone here in long lines, I tested it with 25m, 32m and 42m :lol: if we add about 3 meters of bridles would be 45m! Hey, judging from the location and gear in your signature, I think I've seen you the second and third week o...
