Not many girls foiling here either :roll: But I honestly think they, all lumped together I know, are better at foiling than we are, as many girls are super light footed and good at dancing and balancing and they can learn to tack and jibe with excellent footwork and smoothness a lot better/faster, a...

I'm riding the Cloud 9 S24 surf foil 100% of the time while kiting. I'm 165 lbs (75kg). I started on the Zeeko Black & White then moved to the Carver wing. I wanted something that turned better so I moved on to the Zeeko Spitfire with standard and XLW wings. I got the Cloud 9 to give surf foiling a...

I know it is not race kite powerspike, so time will tell if it works for me or not... Maybe too little power, but low weight is key to keep it in the air to get out, and I also ride with bigger wings and board in marginal wind like you do tomtom. It will never be used in more than max 7 knots, so th...

Yes, full 27 g/m2

I am buying one (an ultralight Kitech FRS 12 m2), to see if I can move my marginal low end - we'll have to see if it does or dont

I dont know of any international signals on this one... But I do know, that what we always intuitively do works - almost everyone I have seen do it this way. It happens quite often in fact, that some have to abort, so I dont agree with those saying it hardly never happens. Crossed lines, something w...

Still trying/starting. I bought a clearwater foil kit and stuck it on an old 2,1 m (yes old) directional kiteboard. I think there's something wrong with my setup but I'm sure there's also still lots wrong with me so I continue to struggle, about once a month or so. Hi, can you take a photo and show...

It was weighed by a german dealer with 2.9kg for 13m and 3.4kg for 15m. I‘m also riding a single strut kite in its 3rd generation and think there is a basic fault in developing them: they are targeted to TT riders as well as to foilers. Will never work. My Kite works really flutter free with TT. Bu...

Very nice topic that may slide to deep technical arguments. I have been investigating a long time on L/D ratio measures, here is my current conclusion : Snip... For a Hydrofoil : 1-You can use a boat to pull the rider , put a load cell (like luggage weight sensor) on the traction rope. Using the sp...

Since when is 25 knots "survival conditions" for the top racers? I've personally seen Nico ride in 30kts+ during a gale and do JUST fine. So did I, for what it's worth... Problem was not the wind, but the sea conditions. Yup - huge "waves", hmmm actually not waves, but huge close CHOP waves like ra...
