Re: Spotz Tuna wave / freeride

Has anyone tried the 2016 Spotz Tuna wave foil? I'm looking for a high quality stable setup that will support progression of skills. Also considering Moses Fluente n Alpine foil. Thanks. Stability through chop is more important than flat out speed. Then you should think about the Ketos with wave wi...

Looking for an old kite foil video

Some weeks ago, I came across an old Maui kite foil dating from 2001 or 2002 with Cab black tip kites. Anyone who knows that video can link it for me.
Cheers

Re: Wetsuits and windchill?

I've used drysuits for 4 years, NPX Lucifer and Ocean Rodeo Predator Surf. Lucifer was too bulky and not compatible with my rope spreader on my harness, so I got a OR Predator surf, but the outside neoprene layer was too tight and it's not as warm as there's no air between the outside and your skin....

Re: Axel Mazella is joigning the F-One & Manera Intl Team

I wonder if he's staying with Taaroa for his foils or going to the unproven F-one. That doesn't look like their mast, but it's definitely their board design. As far as I know, the FOne team uses the Taaroa foil Sword as the Fone foil is not made for race or speed. But it might change as they are wo...

Re: Cartagena and Colombia for experienced kiters...

I've been there in March 2013. Spent 10 days in Santa Veronica (+5 days touring in the region which is really worth it), 60kms North of Cartagena. Wind is strong there, 25-35knots, good fun waves (knee to head high). check that link https://www.facebook.com/clubnauticasan ... nref=story Philippe kno...

Re: Chicken Loop Bye Bye?

my set-up that I've been using for the last 2 years. Just a simple O-ring on bar side. This picture was taken before the rope was tightened-uo a bit.

Re: Ben Wilson Kite bar

They use to sell the bar only (the stick only) which I should have bought as I do my own bar set-up and this is for me one of the best sticks available. Regarding the complete set, it's clean and simple but the CL is a bit heavy and the quick release is not that easy to disconnect and reconnect once...

Re: Infos about France!

Best way for you is to check that link from a Paris based group of kiters (hundreds): http://akifkite.fr/phpBB3/lc4_spot.php It goes from Wissant to Siouville (west of Cherbourg). For waves in those areas, know that the Channel is not good for waves. Small and close to each other with swell period o...

Patagonia wetsuits

I've been hearing good things about Patagonia wetsuits. Can someone provide some reviews on them. How warm and flexible is the RG 2 (3.5/3mm)? What about water entering from wrists, ankles and neck. I had a Rip Curl E-bomb 4/3mm 2 years ago and sold it after 2 sessions because of its extra flexibili...
