Re: Ram air wineglassing Disasters
Hi PJ. Yes, I am very serious about revealing the conspiracy about ram airs and how bad they REALLY are. And yes, I do spend a lot of time researching the problems of ram airs to ensure my conclusions are rock-solid. Thanks for your supportpj sofine wrote:Thanks again PMU. Unlike many who post constantly,the weeks and months between your posts just re-enforce how serious you are to make sure that your conclusions are 100% reliable.

Re: Ram air wineglassing Disasters
In the Hydrofoil Pro Race going on right now in Australia the competitors can use any kind of kite. Notice what they choose.

Re: Ram air wineglassing Disasters
Excellent point! You are correct: there are NO (no - NOT ONE) in the World Kite Tour rankings http://www.worldkitetour.com/rankings/; including Freestyle, Wave, Slalom, and Big Air. The reason...? Ram airs are hopelessly inferior compared to inflatables for turning speed, jump height, reliability, maneuvarability, nuanced feedback etc, all of which significantly affect wavestyle, wakestyle, slalom, and big air. You will note that the aforementioned characteristics are what 99% of casual riders are looking for in their kites.kiterocky wrote:There IS no foil kite in freestyle and Wave Competition....are they inferior?

Re: Ram air wineglassing Disasters
Who the hell would want the performance of a foil kite? Horrid things. All that cloth is just asking for a "bow tie" to ruin your day.
Yes its called a "bow tie" you need to do more research
