If you’re losing your speed, you’re going too aggressively into the wind while approaching the jump. I find that just a bit into the wind is ideal for me most of the time. Then once you’re sending the kite, I edge much harder away from the kite and into the wind. So the edge changes from approach to to sending the kite and popping. Hope that helps 🤙

Works at most places! Normally my go-to is the harness and board to hold it down in high winds. Sadly the setup area here has a lot of rotor from the house behind the kite so it just lifts up the kite from behind and the board falls off, not quite heavy enough

Prescription Goggles? I see they are a thing. Would they work?

I have astigmatism since young age and even though it's not 100% perfect, I wear biofinity toric monthly contact lenses (you have to take them out in the evening and put them into a cover with solution/liquid). If the problem is the feeling of having lenses in, try these. I also feel and don't like to wear any others. If the problem is about vision, they should be able to find a compromise where you will see in long and medium range. For short-range you might want to get additional glasses that you can wear with lenses if you want to read / use PC. Alternatively, search for solutions how to fixate your glasses on your head as much as possible. Maybe the goggles as suggested in the comment below or something.

Just wear prescription sunglasses and you’ll be fine. Get an elastic attachment so you don’t lose em. The cheaper the better, some are floatable, helps as well

@@deaddummy538 is this something you use as well?

@@deaddummy538 Make sure to not just tie them around your face, also make a short tether to your wetsuit. I have a few pair of megalooping glasses at the bottom of the river. I recommend getting cheap prescription glasses from a place like zenni, or repurposing an old pair so you don't feel so bad when you do lose them. They stay on better if you also wear a helmet, and that's a good idea as a beginner anyway

Nothing dramatic from my experience. Felt very familiar coming off the standard orbit

I’ll be trying it in the next week or so. Sounds like some stability and bridal tweaks. The original is pretty dialed so I’m curious to see how much improvement is left to be made. Can update ya after I try it :)

Definitely can be helpful, especially in lightwind! I find that the more powered you are, the less that it’s a necessity since you’ll be more weightless during the movement from the kites assistance, but lightwind it can definitely help from dipping the nose 🤙

I really like it! It’s been my go to foiling kite for about a year now and I don’t have any complaints!

Yep

MA1050

It was pretty classic Hood River, quite up and down. I’d say anywhere from 15-low 20s. I took a 7m

Marco Island Florida :)

Not really sure if a name. You park at the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum, then walk down the road to the beach where you can see the big island across the ferry channel

Haha it was a hidden gem for sure. Flat water is just so satisfying

There's pretty much a beach for any wind direction. If you go further south to Kite Point/Frisco Woods, the wind is much better when it gets a little easterly compared to the kite beaches closer to Avon. SW is the best though, can do Planet of the Ape runs everyday when its blowing out of that direction. Super fun, definitely go with some other people or link up with some people already there to do some downwinders. Those are definitely the best experiences there!

@@bradstrahm7278 thanks for the tips! i got a room in avon wed-friday going so def going to try a few different places around there tomorrow! winds not looking very strong but hopefully ill get a session or two in!

I used a “U-Go kite line mount” along with a mouth mount to blend shots together. Shot on a GoPro 9 :)

@@bradstrahm7278 Thnx!:)

Hey Hey! Thanks a bunch! I believe all the video was from Tuesday-Thursday 25kts give or take 5 depending on the day. Yeah it gets crowded in early afternoon. A bit many people to send consistent big jumps at times Go Pro Hero 9. Drone footage off a Mavic Mini 2

@@bradstrahm7278 Thanks!

Thanks man!! The big kite makes them a lot easier. Still working on the double front rolls with the 9m

Thanks!! And no, but saw quite a few seals if that counts for anything lol
