Re: Low wind kitefoil and hi wind wingfoil WING

The most effective way is to increase kite size.
Since you don’t want that, the next thing I would do is to increase the volume Thickness of the board, the last thing I would do is a larger hydrofoil wing.

Re: Ralf Groesel and Bullshit Light Wind Claims

Hydrofoil has taken kiting to another level, a small wave will power the hydrofoil, when there is no wind one can pump against the wave, kite is no longer required.

Re: Ralf Groesel and Bullshit Light Wind Claims

hey Hawaiis if you can ride with that old and heavy Ozone Edge and that old school foil from 7 years ago in 4/5 knots I can't imagine what you can do with a light kite and a big modern foil from 2021. :D Thanks, That was 2014, when the kite was new. The same kite can’t go out in 8 knots winds today...

Re: At what speed, will the hydrofoil will start to lift me

My wild guess is about 14 knots. The hydrofoil can easily go at triple the wind speed. You can also use the kite at a higher angle to help you lift off the water.

Re: Name for "Dead calm sea" in other languages ?

There are as many words in Hawaiian that describes the sea as the Inuits that describes the snow. One popular one is Wailana.
