Hi Dave & Frank.. you are both sort of rightPeter_Frank wrote:A bit curious too - as most kite hydrofoilboards were "waveboards" for a long period so kitefoiling started with waveboards (and I use one today), untill racing started with bigger boards.
Great video though, like it a lot
Especially the time lapse of unpacking - cool
But dont see any specific "wave" innovations here ?
You are probably sharing the stoke over riding a hydrofoil in waves - AWESOME
I like it too - still learning, but found out, that when you do 90-180 degree turns back and fourth, you can often use the wave to "push" you, so you can ride up foiling without stalling (the foil), even when the kite is almost "dead" or stalled (which I try to avoid of course, by flying it back and fourth - but it happens sometimes that it goes completely dead, while you are still foiling steadily because of the wave pushing you)

Do you notice a big difference between the older MHL Lift and the new ones? I see some used ones coming up for sale and wonder if it's worth the small savings to buy the old one or save up for newer one.
Have you seen the new paint jobs on their boards? What I am always wondering why how they manage to paint a different design on every board .. It's a lot of commitment and investment into the sport to create a new design every time and then execute it in time. What is also shows is that if they can do that and still make money, by selling at the excellent low price they do.. why aren't the other manufacturers following on the mass 'individual' customization.Randahl wrote:davesails7 wrote:I this a wave specific version of the foil or just the board is a wave board?

The Lift foils seem to get better with each new version, and they come out with a new version pretty frequently it seems. I have noticed the wings getting progressively higher aspect with each version. The ones coming up for second hand sale now are probably from last fall and have a lower AR but still pretty fun. I met a guy on the beach with a newer and higher AR wing than mine and he told me he is hanging onto his older lower AR wing because it lifts a lot easier in light wind.
