I had one of those NoirMatter quick disconnect plates; I threw it away. (Recycled it.) Junk. After one or two sessions it's loose. What's the point of having a stiff board & mast if your board/mast joint wobbles? I guess I could have sold it, but it didn't feel right to foist that crap on someone el...

I was just in Baja probably sitting at the same bar as Nak and there is a nice wide beach but near the waters edge there was a pretty steep drop and with the wind being slightly onshore , there is a lot of lift. And a kiter was trying to self land on the flat part near the water. My friend next to ...

I just wanted to make sure the Puffy Pro didn't roast your kit....

I've never had a UFO invert once pumped up, but they can become inverted while pumping up. Since there's no strut, nothing prevents the inversion until the leading edge is pretty solidly inflated. I see two possibilities in your case: 1. You under inflated the kite. Low pressure, low structural stab...

I contacted the Ride Engine country distributor directly. After some (very friendly) eMail conversation they asked me to send in my harness and they send me a new one without even waiting for mine to arrive. GREAT SERVICE and thank you to ride engine. Outstanding! It sounds like the issue was with ...

from what knots till going 5m ufo with let say about 1200 cm foil wing on about 70 kg? I'm 90 kg and switch from the 6 to the 5 right around 16 knots and then to the 4 around 19 - 20 knots. The 5 has way more range than this would indicate; this is just the sweet spot below which the 6 is more fun ...

With UFOs, 4, 5, and 6 are my mainstay--these are the "must have" sizes. From there, it depends on the wind where you're riding. In the Gorge, the 3 is the next added size. For travelling or lighter wind spots, some combination of the 8, 9 or 11 can be added. The 8 is fine if you're not going to see...

I prefer the walk up two lines metho for self landing. For sure I would use the second video's methods in any conditions other than normally powered for foiling. Pulling the front bottom line really is a variation of pulling the safety shown in the second video. You're just bypassing actually deplo...
