The hooks are flexible Lupociotto, so I don't think this will be an issue.

My 2 cents - I'm a new foiler this season and weigh 205lbs (92kg). I learned on and have been riding a board with 27l volume. This is plenty of volume for foiling and seems perfectly fine to me. What I found as a new foiler is that you want the board to be long enough and have enough nose rocker to ...

Idk, that may help someone get partially there but the uneven pull of a kite makes riding with a kite very different. This looks like it would only cut down the learning curve slightly by helping to get the feel of the foil in 1-2 sessions instead of 4-5 sessions. However, either way, I think it's s...

If it's your first foil, you'll be thinking your wife is right after your first few attempts

I'm using a 2016 12m Neo as a light-med wind kite. I weigh 200lbs and was riding upwind yesterday in 12-15mph winds with a surfboard. One thing I did was to add some extension lines to my 24m bar to extend the lines to 27m+. This seems to help the 12m Neo pull more like a 13-14m kite in lighter wind...

Awesome, thanks for the replies The Element sounds like what I was looking for and hopefully this will help others. My order has been placed.

Who has ridden the Levitaz Element and what is your impression of it? I could not find any reviews. How easy is the Element to ride? How does it compare to other foils in waves and freeriding?

Idk, my experience differs a bit from above. I found the Vader to be more power hungry and needs more wind to plane than the Vanguard. If you live in a very windy area then you can go for the smaller size. However, if you often get lighter winds then I would recommend going up in size on the Vader. ...

Perfect, thank you! I now know what I want for 2016
