Re: 5m kite recommendation

Hmmm, I think this thread might confuse somewhat. Some are talking about winds from 19/20 to 30 knots, Tom and K-Roy ? And with a 6 m2 kite on a hydrofoil, it must be shortly only then, 30 knots... If you got 30 knots average wind, you can not use a 6 m2 even on waveboards thats for sure, even a 5 ...

Re: 5m kite recommendation

Thanks for your insights. A few of us foilers are struggling with this small kite question up here. One of our problems is that when wind is 20 knots plus, it's very variable and gusty. It's 20-30 knots. A few minutes 20, a few minutes 30. During the 20 knots your getting momentary 30 knot kicks. H...

Re: Bandit 11 2018 review yet anywhere?

These are my brief impressions after 2 rides with the 2018 6m, one in 15k (foil) and one in 22k (surf). First of all the new LINX bar is top. It has a slightly thinner diameter, swivel and vario system work perfectly and are easy to adjust. No complains whatsoever. The kite turns and flies at the s...

Re: What are your Worst Accidents Hydrofoiling?

Foil stuck in the lines seems often, i also had it. Releasing safety makes little sense (as with all death loops) , actually makes things worse... It's instinctive but your logic must fight it. Best thing is to grab a single line and pull until you flag the kite on it are you sure it would work? I ...

Re: What are your Worst Accidents Hydrofoiling?

happened a few times, foil stuck in the lines, kite powers up, release CL, bar not able to go all the way, kite death loops...scary. (especially in stronger wind)
Im not mentioning the hits and cuts that is just annoying.

Re: Building a lightweight compact plywood hydrofoil board

I give it a try and loved it. On land it was indistructable, however on the water it snapped in half like a toothpick when I hit a fish at high speed.
No glass or carbon, just 15mm plywood.( 112x40cm; 3.2kg.)

Let me know how you get on, I like to bild an other one this winter...

cheers

Re: Safety-/Flagline stuck after releasing on F One Diablo V1 Bar

my bar looks just like yours, only without the red plastic ball on the line...
