I can confirm all the light wind claims are a lie :lol: at least until you get the proper technic! I started winging last WE. Mainly for the fun of learning something new and be able to access spots and wind directions that are no good for kiting. I was foiling both sides after 30mn. First 2 session...

The Roam A 10m was my first OR kite and I then bought a 7m, and so far the customer service has been awesome.

Ocean Rodeo Flite 14.5 m already does all this and with a Canadian accent. I will always favor the canadian accent 😊 But to me the Flite is more a light wind kite for TT. Not foil specific… i debated with myself getting the 14.5 at some point. But concluded that I’d stick with the roam 10m as my li...

Some hybrid aluula wings where being used in France at « mondial du vent ». I spotted a few on the videos.
So at least pro riders have received some.

Juice with Aluula;

13m aluula, designed for foiling. Pretty smart move.
Maybe I need something bigger than my 10m now

I can’t wait to see the price tag on this beauty…

I’m flying the roam A serie 10m. And it is extremely balanced. No pb flying it with one hand, or no hands 😊 I guess you have checked your lines already for equal length? What you should also do is check when the kite is overhead in light wind if you notice any « asymmetrical » shape. I have had a 7m...

By the specs go for Forward-WIP impact vest. Olympic sailing approved. * 50N * rest-tube ready/supported (officially) * zipper & clips * pockets (also for intercom and emergency breathing but I doubt kiters would use those) * works with waist harness too, this is how I use F-WIP with slider waist h...

The coast guard requires vests? Here on the St-Laurent river I have been controlled sailing and SUPing. On a boat it is an immediate fine if you don’t have the right number of PfD onboard. On a SUP I always have a PFD but have been given a hard time for not having a whistle or other personal signal...

It is a bit crazy that with the number of foilers (foil kite and wing) no brand has come up with a decent impact vest+pfd... something that 1- works with waist harness 2- impact protection 3- 50+N of floatation for emergencies, possibly with an inflatable chamber (like that https://aqoutdoors.com/pr...

I have not tried winging... yet... but this is in the plan for this spring/summer. We get so many days with gusty and shifty wind + not too many kite launch spots depending on water level... So seems to me like a decent fun alternative to spend more days on the water and be less dependent on driving...
