To someone completely new to foil kites, what size would be a good complement to 8+10 tube kites (basically to replace a 12 for more efficiency between 12 - 17 knots @73kg?) 10m or 12m sonic 4?

The % don't reflect the fraction of poeple in each group - kitesurfing is newer and there are more poeple in the less experienced groups. Possibly there are more aging 'expert' windsurfers who can't handle so well anymore. Kite surfing is obviously a bit of a mare - you are much more likely to hurt others because of the wider reach.

2:27 unfunfact: kilometres per hour is written as km/h, not kph, kphr, kmh, khr...

Celsius? This is America (😅)

Who is the guy who give the advice @5:40 He knows his shit.

The more physically demanding the worse the injury. Accidents in kiting occur at the beach, windsurfing is way more damaging even trying basic jumps.

Best tip for frontrolls: Don’t overthink, just jump and spin

Jesus lady you beautiful enough? 🤣🤣🥂

Please tell us which is the best place to rent a house for kiting in summer at Cape Hatteras? Frisco, Avon, Salvo? Thank you ++++

Why?

I change my bars yearly,

Time for a review of the new generation of Pansh kites. The Kestrel is reported to be a bog improvement over the Aurora

I have a video idea for you. What lasts longer, a white kite or a black kite (i.e. like Core, where those are the only choices). You could get two pieces of brand new kite canopy and leave them outside flapping in the sun for a year, and then strength test them to see which breaks first.

You are getting really good on the surfboard. . . very nice transitions!

My dad had 2 GNARLY windsurf accidents. One his back front foot got out of the strap during a back flip and boom, long ass rod in the leg. The other one he almost got tetraplegic… thank god he still around ripping on short boards !!!

live wind from your homespot?? we can display live wind..with push notification and.WG forecast 20% discount for Ecowitt Weather stations

really usefull. Thanks :)

Just had my second foil session on 10m Soul 2, watched so many of your videos on foil kite. Going to take a lot of getting used to but it has an amazing low end.

I used a 2 litre PETE fizzy drink bottle covered in tape and filled with water as the roller. The bumpers were made from five polystyrene balls cut in half and glued in place with impact adhesive. I didn't bother to paint anything as my board - an old shelf - was already smooth enough and splinter-free. Use what you've got in the shed!

Nickel Iron batteries or Sodium Ion batteries are both incredibly robust tough climate, battery choices, albeit quite bulky. But if placed on the ground in a weatherproof box with solar panel and PWM controller, it should work at 12v with car USB abapters to convert to 5v USB. Alternatively or augment it with a micro wind generator.

God I got to step up my group management skills. That's pretty next level! The DJ parties with all the equipment 😄 Love the idea of the 1 dinner each, but I definitely wouldn't choose meals that require the whole day. That's not a Beef wellington type of night. Either any kind of stew that you can leave for like 6 hours and go kite. Or a big BBQ. Or have hors d'oeuvre ready and make people eat later so you have like 2-3 hours to make someting

Birds were first

Benn using a “wrong sized” used board for ages and I’m just fine with it. Bought a new bar and lines & omg what a difference! My previous bar was a proper POS!

winter ---> not masochist ---> snowkiting.

awesome info

nature is the technology. scientists can't beat the nature

don't learn from someone else's mistakes learn from your own mistakes...lol what?

So informative absolutely eh

hello , can somebody recommend kitesurfing app for garmin forerunner955. Thanks

👍

Broke my femur doing a back-roll kite loop 15 years ago. Still on the water but my hip gives me trouble now likely arthritic

I just found this video! It's very informative. I'm a kayaker and this may be new information, but they do make women's drysuits with a pee zipper around the back so you can take a pee or even a poo break if you're a woman.

Dry suits are meant to be worn with PFD, if you didnt realise that your stupid

Brilliantly explained.

Thank you

Thanks for the introductory video, but sadly some parts of this intuitive explanation are not correct. The fluid dynamics of a wing are well understood and there is NO debate in science, which I think is a very important fact. Next, your explanations are not consistent with real experiments. Let's consider the great Bernoulli experiment with blowing over paper. If the resulting force is from deflecting the flow, the force acts on the flow -> hence the paper doesn't move. In reality pressure and velocity are essential parts of Navier-Stokes-equations (which we can simulate very well and exhaustively describe fluid mechanics as far as we can observe it). Hence, for the paper experiment the low pressure zone pulls up the paper. And the flow arrows with deflecting the flow are a very misleading friend: pressure acts in all directions at the same time, without any preferred direction.

I like that you were also wearing a wetsuit during this video haha

Good tips. I always hang it in the sun. I won’t do that anymore

this was an immensely informative, detailed and clear video guide. Thank you so much.

I'm completely against Bernoulli or Venturi high/low pressure this and that for hydrofoils. Gasses experience pressure gradients readily, but liquids don't as they can be assumed to be incompressible. Maybe for wings and spoilers going through the air, but not hydrofoils going through the water. I would say Newton's third law for hydrofoils.

my friends just use some vaccuum bag with their foil kites (flysurfer 15/19), they put them inside, empty the air and save some volume in their bag.

As those before me said "Welcome Back" So great to see you guys and that you're still at it and in good health!👍

Best wishes for a full & functional recovery ❤️‍🩹

Hi! Do you need a 12m to foil in 10-15 knots or will the 10m Soul 2 have enough power?

graham bell didnt invented telephone🤣🤣🤣 it is misunderstanding

Oh... *proceeded to hyperventilate over the closest scrap paper I can find.

Welcome back)!

What is the point of a foil kite as opposed to a normal kiteboarding kite?

Thanks for the packing tips - I will review again before my trip from Lisbon to Dakhla, Morocco in May. I love my small electronic scale too!

Why not move somewhere with a better spot :P ?
