Re: More Foil Content Part 2

If the kiter had a few percent of the AC boats budget for development, he could probably come up with a gear combo to beat him.

What happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.

Re: More Foil Content Part 2

If you go powerbox (e.g. NP Glide with Powerbox adapter), do yourself a favor and use a tether. This guy admits all was good until he jumped but all the same, a tether kept this from turning into a disaster.

Re: More Foil Content Part 2

Looks like NeilPryde is getting serious about their alu windfoils finally. New Flight series features a new 1000cm2 wing. The Glide series has a bunch of higher aspect wings.

I'd love to be Gwen's camera salesperson - ticket to printing money. Biggrin Another nice video that just gives me West Point vibes - flat water and 10-15 mph winds.

Re: More Foil Content Part 2

It's okay to touch in a jibe. Even the pros do it.

Re: More Foil Content Part 2

I was feeling pretty good about my progress learning to foil. No more. Funky-Cold has freestyle foil moves so smooth I'd feel ridiculous even trying, This guy is amazing.

Re: More Foil Content Part 2

I am convinced that some if not most of Newton's Laws do not apply to Balz.

What was that about 10 secs in? Foiling tack... and then jibe. That would be Saran wraped followed by swimming for me. Maybe later picking some of the luff sleeve or boom wrap out of my teeth
