@constantinosdrakakis897 yes, you are right and we plan to do this, unfortunately at the moment the temperatures are just above 0°C here... we are waiting for some warmer temperatures.

you cannot start from the water when you fall. You have to swim back to the shore.

thx !

thx for watching, hope you enjoyed.

Hi Marka, The peak and hybrid are completely different, a lot of peak users don't like the hybrids. Less direct, less power and too gentle. For me the peak was perfect but no water restart was a no go after a few swimming sessions. I don't know the hysper, cannot comment on that. With 12kn you need a hybrid 7,5. 5,5 is usable with 14-15kn. With 18-20 kn you can even go to a size smaller than 5,5. I think safe bet from 12kn on to 20 is the 7,5, but with 20 kn and 7,5 it will not be big fun anymore. I think you need 2 size to have comfortable riding in that range. The drift and stablity from the hybrid is superb and better than the peak. power is less, and rest like upwind is equal for me. so far i'm really happy with my hybrids, and don't regret the switch after 2 years. Maybe a hybrid 2 will come out in comming months, might we worth the wait if you are not in a hurry. HOpe this helps.

Thank you for the response. I was already assuming that the 5.5m Hybrid might be closer in range to the 4m Peak5, which needs over 15 knots to drift well. Maybe I’ll wait for the new Hybrid or order the new Hysper V3, which is better priced. What I’ve noticed is that, despite the negative reviews, the Hybrid doesn’t drop in price, while a Peak can already be found with discounts of up to 40%. Thanks a lot, and good winds!

@@markabril7543 i have a few video's with light wind foiling on my channel with the 7,5m². With 11 kn it drifts well, for me it's fast enough but the 5,5 is more fun but 18-20kn will be too much. ruclips.net/video/Hcb0n2rFh_U/видео.html ruclips.net/video/akzLj40PMN8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/IdhlTWRgtTg/видео.html

I understand you’re referring to the 7.5m, which is quite a lot-18-20 knots. How much wind does the 5.5m need to get going with just a single dive, without doing loops? I’m talking about the comfortable range. For me, my go-to kite for 80% of the time is an Airush Ultra 6m. I can start using it when I see twin-tip riders began going up wind with their 12m kites, and I can handle it up to 18 knots. If the wind is above 15 knots and I expect it to reach 18-20 knots, I set up an Ultra 5m. If there are waves, I take out the Peak5 4m, which is equivalent to the Ultra 6m. The issue is that, on the shore where the waves are, there’s often 2 or 3 knots less wind. So it’s all about getting it right and using a kite that can handle those wind lulls while drifting. I’ve got almost all Ultra sizes for “freestyle” and also a 13m and 8m Peak for when I don’t feel like inflating or as backup kites in case the wind drops.

I mean the 6m LEI is perfect size in those conditions but of course it doesn't dritf as well a Peak and has a strong pull that not allow you feel as much the foil.

that's not stupid... better booties than ruining your holidays.

thx, it's a Frsky taranis radio. The last version. receiver is GRX6 frsky

danke ;-)

Yes, a tubing is ready glued in the factory on the inside of the fuse, the pushrod slides in it. You just have to cut the pushrod to the correct size and and glue the connections to the pushrod.

thx !

Yes, icarus Zeebrugge.

Here you can find all details from my glider: ruclips.net/video/ils2wCAw9AM/видео.html It's the X-power Windy version. my plane AUW is 1400g and this gives a climb rate of 10-12 m/sec with a peak consumption of 50A at start when running a bit lower like 45-48 A. After one season it' s still going strong. www.hyperflight.co.uk/products.asp?code=XPOWER-F2925-8&name=xpower-f2925-8-windy-1380-rpm-v-102g-cased-outrunner

Hello, I’m not an expert either. I just try to make boards and to improve my technique every time. So thanks for your feedback. The board is small so 1 inlet should be enough. The path the epoxy has to flow should be maximum +/- 500mm, as my board is only 430mm width this is ok. I also prefer to have slow infusions (that’s also the reason I use slow curing epoxy). I think the biggest mistake I made on this board is that I only used flow media on 1 side of the board, I should have done it on both sides. I should also have put more flow media: the area with resin brakes was almost larger than the area with flow media. Adding more inlets is always a possibility but I think this board is too small to need multiple inlets. A better positioning of the flow media in this case could have prevented the dry spot.

Yes I have, here is a link. It should be accessible. Let me know if it does not work. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-4509yZzfn8zqmB70csvePGPQkk6-mO2?usp=sharing

@@yannickver thanks mate but i could not open it.

@@Rod-ge4yh pdf you should be able to read on any pc. the other file can be read in autocad. I guess you''ll find somebody around you who can open it for you.

the easiest is to use servo's and motor that fits....

@yannickver 🤣I know. But they aren't available in my garage

I choose for infusion as it is a clean technique, with standard wet lamination you have resin everywhere. When well done it also gives you the correct fibre/resin ratio (60:40 fibre to resin). My goal is to make light constructions, the strength of your composite comes from your fibres so you just want enough resin to keep everything together. Too much resin increases the weight of your board but not the strength.

Size of the board is 85cm long and width 43cm, thickness: 2.5cm Yes you can use the same technique on a larger board. Will be one of my next projects.

Sorry mate but I don’t understand.

thanks for your kind words, happy you enjoyed the video !

No, no damage here it's sand. In the long run you can see it on the foil, sand is like sandpaper.

@@yannickver It's just a bit faster now ;-)

@@yannickver well i hit the sand before, then there were microcracks in my foil tracks and two sessions later during pumping my whole foil tracks ripped out and i lost a foil. So much for that.

ouch, that's painfull. Maybe we just have been lucky. With my kiteboard I have hit the bottom a lot, so far no problems. (that board is also much lighter, might make a big differenceà

thx ! getting back on the dock depends a lot on the water lever, the lower it is, the harder it becoms ;-)

Glad you enjoyed it!

thx a lot for your touching comment ! appreciate a lot !

I don’t understand the question. Do you have a link ?

I think it also explains why the infusion was so slow, all the resin was being drawn in the foam and not towards the vacuum line. But not sure though

thx a lot for these valuable tips ! i'll experiment with this ...

the infusion was so slow by purpose. If it's too fast we have white spots with not enough epoxy kind of dry spots. (see our first board build)

Almost all foil-related watersporters wear helmets: there is always a risk to hit your head during a fall with the board or the foil. The board is very hard and the foil is sharp. With a helmet it's nothing, without helmet often a cut with hospital visit... You only have one coconut take care of it ;-).

@ I get it just idk I’ve been hit in the face with everything from jet skis to baseball bats. You’ll be okay mostly 😂. Head freedoms important

yes !

thx ;-)

Seems like you live on a very nice place. I guess he will accept to come over ;-)

thx !

None with dockstart foil pumping, but I also tried beachstart foil pumping and I got a big fincut on my big toe... visit to the urgencies and I got 5 stitches.

Yes, it's very hard. Bruno is the rider here and he trained several months several sessions per week to be able to pump himself on the foil. He was already a very well trained supper before going to supoil.

thx !

it already exists and that's another sport, it's called e-foiling. Much easier.

Thx, the final from this first board was 2,45kg but it's rock solid. Too solid. Our second board is 2 kg, and there is still a lot of improvement possible at our technique. We will continue to experiment and post our results.

thx !

I also don't like the 1350 for light wind, some people manage to wing with it but I don’t like the behaviour it has. I was surprised by the gong foil, it worked really well. I would like to stick to the Sabfoil brand (keep everything compatible) but don’t know which foil would match the Gong foil yet . My actual light wind foil is the 999 but it's not a real light wind foil.

​ @yannickver I am in the same situation. I ride the Sabfoil 1250 in extremely light winds (and W1100, WM999 above), works well, but currently all the old front wings are no longer in the Sabfoil range. I wonder what the successors should be. The new HA foils have better glide but lower lift.
