Hi all,
Since A few years now (more or less when we understood that flysurfer was stopping the development of the psycho -- I had it in 4m, 6m, 8m and 10m DL and traveled in many places around the world with them), I, with other members of LesFoilz.com, have been looking for a foil kite dedicated to wave riding (just for information, I ride strapless and I paddle surf with the same boards). In 2012, after sending emails around to foil kite designers to convince them that it was a good idea (I am a bit stubborn and patient), I started to exchange with Benoît Tremblay from Concept Air and he proved to be a very friendly Quebec style kite magician who accepted to work on the idea. Here is the result of a few years of exchanges, prototypes and tests:
Concept Air Smart Wave 6.5 on LesFoilz.com
This is the first test fly of the new Concept Air Smart Wave 6.5 (in French but I can help if needed) . More testing has to be done, but the first hour of testing in waves made me smile and I though I could start to share this (and the magician said it was ok for him too)...
