Its based on chemical nanotechnology......so it must be good. That statement is enough to put me off. Why do manufacturers feel the need to add this crap to their marketing. Just makes me suspicious that I am being taken for a ride

Reviving this thread. Foilholio can you update us on how the shoe goo/toluene coating has held up over time? Also has anyone any experience with CRC aqua armour which seems to be some sort of naphtha petroleum waterproofing spray. It looks easy to apply but may be only a waterproofing rather than a ...

Advice needed. I recently reset my bridles to factory spec. B line had shrunk about 1cm, C line about 3cm and z line presumably more. When I first flew it the leading edge inverted as soon as the wind speed across the kite increased eg at speed and when rounding up. Z line was obviously too long as ...

Horses for courses as they are quite different kites. Rode a mates cloud briefly so maybe not enough to get it dialed but it didnt make me jizz.

Dave the La Ventana video is interesting in that at about 49 seconds there are 2 Kiter’s gybing together and the second one almost does a tip crash despite the majority of the gybe looking sweet. T...

Some advice please from those of you racing or high-performance freeriding with racefoil kites. Im finally starting to get my foiling gybes sorted but find especially with my 15m R1 (but also my 11 sometimes) that I have a habit of crashing the bottom tip of the kite in the water on the downloop (an...
