Gear Talk / Re: Is it normal for paddle handles to snap off?

« on: August 24, 2020, 04:21:51 PM »

Paddle do break sometimes, but this one has nothing to do with your technique and everything to do with shitty plastic handle. Do yourself a favor and find a nice used paddle from quickblade, kenalu, zre and don't waist your money on inferior stuff.

Bill, gl240 has been picking my interest recently. I went out yesterday with 210 in 11-14 mph winds and 6m swing and the initial lift is less than the old wings but it’s so awesome once flying, so efficient and fun. I definitely think of switching/adding gls to mu quiver. The only limiting factor for me yesterday was the old maliko tail, once I hit 17mph that tail becomes like unbalanced tires on the car

. But yeah 210 ruled my world yesterday, but when wind lulled to about 10 that was it - I didn’t have enough to get going. So 240 might be the ticket.

Notice that even though he could readily pump up onto the foil with that beeeeg 7m in those really light winds, he couldn’t complete any of his transitions on the foil. You know it’s not a lack of rider skill in this case. I’ve been out in conditions like that and unless I could time the transition perfectly with a gust AND pump a lot I wouldn’t stay up on foil. This video just convinced my even more that riding my 6m in 10-15 is about as low as I’d go and still have fun with transitions ON the foil. If it’s on the light side of that 10-15 then it’s kitefoil time. No interest in that 7m at all!

100% agree! And also video shows him only one tack - probably his strong side. I have 6m swing and can fly in 8-9 mph with m280 front wing but no luck with transitions. Also pumping on the foil in those light winds with my wrong foot forward seems to be an undertaking.

I think you’re shooting yourself in the foot by using short mast. Longer mast gives you more room for errors and more time to correct. Don’t be afraid to breach, part of the learning. My humble opinion

Good luck!

@gzasinets - have you been on the 2020 Bullet, or can anyone else compare it to the V2? Of the ones listed so far, any clear favorites for stability in chop / small bump performance?

I haven’t been on the 2020 version. But older ones are my favorite dw boards.

I think I saw someone on insta doing exact thing that you ask about but it was hard to come to any conclusion. Based on my experience with foil and sup - not worth the effort.
