This is the first iteration XXLW in 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev2ONG54_EI I honestly don't think this is the Spitfire XXLW, the wings look a bit more elongated than on the production model. And of course you wouldn't expect someone constantly doing R&D to ride production models. But any...

News just in :thumb:: Where did you see this? Zeeko Facebook page. Someone asked (not me). I am excited, I hope they update the kitefoil version of Spitfire aswell. Interesting! Lets see what the 2nd iteration can do. This is the first iteration XXLW in 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev2ONG5...

Spitfire glides less? How do you compare? It does feels less stable, I do have difficulty to change the feet while foiling, I end almost always touching down the board, but I never associated this with the less gliding, but rather on the less stability. This "glides less" is something that needs ob...

Interesting - but difficult to see the "comparison", what the outcome was? How much difference did they feel. Do you think there is more explanation or a YouTube/Vimeo video where one can see it bigger/fullscreen instead? 8) Peter I doubt there is more video. Horue might be the best chance of some ...

Another foil that is movable.





The SABFoil Kraken system is another possibility for getting the mast out of the way and attaching it in deeper water?

He puts it in the water between 3:50 and 4:50. Problem is you will drift toward the kite and the lines will go slack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItypdcQU_hc The original wing - with Flash Austin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb1XbqxmusY It depends on how much you need the kite to do. https:/...

Very interesting ideas and experiments. Another possibility - because the leading edge is tapered - is the possibility of molding each side of the leading edge as a tapered tube in 3D. In windsurfing they are now molding sails in 3D and curing the layup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWJHFHXrUIY M...
