Optimal Wind Direction: SW – Sailable Directions: W
Its a pond party! Bass Point sets up perfectly on a solid south west in the summer. Launch from Pocomo and sail over. Recently the best flat water sessions of the summer go down here.
I weigh 190 LBS. I thought moving to the Aluula airframes would solve the issue with deformation when boosting with a 3 strut kite, but so far I have had no luck. I am pumping the kites to 10 PSI. I have used a Bravo pump and WMFG floor pump. I am pumping the LE […]
For a beginner, since a light overpower is good for learning, the weight of the bar is irrelevant.However, the current fashion is to shift the power from the kite to nice glide hydrofoils. The kite generates much less power and then precise and fast control becomes very important.A second very important factor is riding on […]
"Flies heavy on the front lines" - what does this mean, what is the problem here?Front line pull is onto the harness. This isn't ideal if you are balancing on hydrofoil where small changes to foot pressure result in big changes to board angle. ...Meaning that kite pulls you more in a downwind direction rather […]
I should add that i do have a 13m rebel dlab which i love but it needs to be blowing pretty good to really get my ass in the air +23kts or so. So looking to fill the gap between that and my 17m rs v7.This is where it went wrong, the evo dlab 13m […]
brainchild kites were supposed to be a gamechanger in relation to aluula, but looking at the prices it is not visible. I have the impression that the prices of brainchild kites have equaled the prices of aluula kites, and it is still ordinary dacron and thinner at that... I expect that kites made using Brainchild […]
I will say it again, the Peak is lousy for big air.Two reasons:1. It doesn’t boost well, unless your idea of big air is under 10 meters.2. It doesn’t handle well in over-powered conditions. In other words it has limited range. It is excellent in other ways, such as drift and light wind capabilities. However, […]

One of the schools I asked said take a 12m , but 12m for someone of 70kgs is a very different prospect than someone of 90kgs.The "12m" is different for everyone 12m for an avarage kite (~75kg). You size it up or down depending on your weight. For me (96kg) the "12m" really has 14m. […]
