Best thing is you don't really need the latest and greatest honestly. Just pick up any small to medium sized mid aspect foil a 1-3 strut 7m kite and you will probably have fun. I think Kite foiling is probably the least particular foil sport.
I weigh 87KG. It depends if I'm riding with straps or not and how steady the wind is. I use the 9m up to about 12knots unstrapped and more if I'm strapped. If I'm unstrapped I like to use as small a kite as possible without having to constantly work it. If possible I will ride the 4m Boxer whenever I can unstrapped.
Honestly I probably don't foil in real 5-7knots. But the biggest kite I foil with normally is a 9m Naish Boxer. If I can't get going with that I don't really think foiling is that fun most times as I don't like playing it safe incase you can't relaunch (just my opinion). Boxer 9m probably still goes in around 8knots though.
Nice. ..❤❤
Cheers!
Nice video.
Almost convinced me to try foiling again
Seems like quite a gear dependant sport
Pretty cool that you can custom chop fins

You’ll ride the fwoils 😮
I'll do some Kitefoiling.
fuselage length ? .... looks a bit on longer side
It's the standard length, not the short one.
What’s your weight? And at how many knot do you switch from the 9 to the 7?

Which kite will you use in 5-7knts with this foil setup?
