I ordered the 22 Supersonic for light wind snow kiting. Not sure if I will use it on the water for ultra wind foiling anytime soon. I will report on how it compares to the Soul 21m, Sonic 4 18m, VMG 2 23m.Statistics: Posted by fernmanus — Tue Feb 25, 2025 3:19 am
I know guy named Fred, who sticks with old-school pole boarding. (No offense) Practically everyone else switched to kiting decades ago, and even the holdouts have mounted hydrofoils on their windsurfers Fred might not make good vmg, but he rigs big, and he hauls ass off the wind. I could be wrong, but I don't […]
If you go further south on the beach it gets deeper. Look at Sea La vie on google maps - there is beach access across the street there and you can foil at any tide (or at least you could 2 yrs ago when I was last there).Statistics: Posted by StellaBlu — Tue Feb 25, […]
Our local NOAA/Ikite beach-front weather station blew down in hurricane Milton. With the current government seeking "efficiency" at the cost of effectiveness, I doubt it will be replaced anytime soon.I miss it, particularly for knowing what conditions were like around the times I go out. It only updated every hour anyway... but with a bit […]

Very true Trent Also, those who always say "there is always less wind than the forecast says", are the same who don't go to the water when predicted low winds. So they miss out on all the days with surprise winds, and get the misconception there is always less wind than predicted PeterStatistics: Posted by […]
I live on the southwest gulf coast of Florida, smack dab on the edge of the newly renamed Gulf of America.Politics aside, local conditions often play a role in the veracity of the forecast.For example, locally we call any forecast for a southerly wind "The Elusive South" because it rarely ever happens to be good.On […]
HiWanted to get some impact vests for my students, does anyone has anything to recommend?Ideally cheap (of course)Thanks!Statistics: Posted by sickdog — Mon Feb 24, 2025 11:06 pm
You are correct melias, "average" TT riders who also foil on "allround" gear, can usually go faster (if not too choppy) on the TT.But the wetted area at high speeds on a TT is not as big as you think IMO, and you can continue making it smaller the faster you go, opposite to a […]
Personally I don't see how you do it any other way, if you want to kite straight after work without a lengthy detour home, you need your gear in your car all day.Or park in shade, or unload it with you.Typically in Aus the shaded car parks go first so you have to be the […]
