I don’t really understand the purpose of this huge box. Won’t it cause unnecessary drag in the water , besides the extra weight ?

Did exactly what was shown on this video with success. Only thing i did different was using boiling hot water to loosen the old valve. With boiling water you get the right temperature to loosen the glue without damaging the bladder.

I love this stuff ~ Just made a few foil kits and all this stuff gets better and better. I can't see how the drive works but I'm patient ~ ALOHA

These guys are awesome. I'm in Florida and I buy all my stuff from them. I wish I could drive right to their shop.

Can you do one on installing bladders into the new sleeve cuff pockets with the Velcro tabs?

Do you ship to Australia?

Are the studs just touching the bottom of the tracks when you twist them down so they stop and stay in place? I have GoFoil mast which use a cup washer between the screw head and mast plate, it looks like there's enough free stud length to mount the cup washer then use the 15mm cup nut to secure ?

Thx! 👍

Geoff , for 7mm you could have a spacer on the 6mm to pack it out to 7mm and a 7mm cone nut with a 6mm thread.

What about any sort of lube on the threads? Any issues with galling like with stainless. I'm not familiar with using titanium.

Key takeaways: Standard Lengths: Most common line lengths range from 22 to 25 meters. Impact of Length: Longer lines increase power but slow down kite reaction time, while shorter lines offer faster turning and response. Extensions: Adding 3-meter extensions is a popular way to increase power slightly. Extreme Lengths: While some riders experiment with lengths up to 30 meters for maximum power in light wind, going too short (below 20 meters) significantly reduces power and is not recommended for most riders. Manufacturer Recommendations: Following the manufacturer's recommended line length for your kite is generally advised, as they have extensively tested the optimal setup. Line Inspection: Regularly inspecting and cleaning your lines is crucial for safety and longevity.

These boards are sick if you consistently have 20 knots or greater of wind. Anything lighter and these boards are absolutely garbage. It’s so depressing being out there in lighter wind and just not getting up. The balance is tough. I love my prone boards for surfing and pumping. I cannot stand wing boards but they gotta be a bit bigger to get up.

Where do you get a longboard like that?

What type of 2 sided tape for the top dacron was used, and thread size and type. Awesome video

Yes that rope lasts about 1 month. That ring is too small and wears the rope through in no time. Shit idea.

Jeff, have you tried adding crushed charcoal, and baking soda, to make a light filler, before you dab on the CA, then just the CA for the sealing top coat. it has worked great for me a few times.

Hey guys. Does this leash manufacturer still exist? Where can it be purchased?

If you cut the glass at 45 degrees, it will wrap around the rail better.

I think if you wet the wood a bit, it will accelerate the CA glue curing process. Also baking soda will instantly cure the CA glue. You will still melt some eps foam from the CA glue vapor. But this seems like a fast way to get back into the water

Love the convenience and material! Hate the bottle opener. Tip: for injury-free operation with cold wet hands, use the cuff from your leash wrapped around the tool. More leverage and protection from the silly bottle opener.

No way man... awesome tip!

Wow Jeff, pretty impressed!

Thanks for the great review. I'm curious how you pack this wing up with the boom on it? In ads I've seen the wing packed separately from the boom, but taking it on and off each session feels like a pain to me. Does it come with a bag to include the boom when packing it up? Thanks!

Are the coiled leashes ok for winging in waves ?

forgot the foil drive and the peak kite

I'll take that ride engine pump !

Who is making a full suit of this Apex Mesh with very little nylon textile on the exterior like NP, NPX, Neil Pryde NP NEXUS 5/4 ?

Inside i have two elastic One its very very tide

Thanks! Saved me buying a Hard board. My failure to get unstuck from the water was rider error not the board!

Hmm only thing I can think of is that it makes it harder to get to your safety knife

Hello, excellent Review. Wich fuselaje do you recommend for wing , 60 or 70? I was thinking for a sf930 i am intermediate winger

Thanks for the great info as always! I've been meaning to try moving to the waist. My wings have 2 leash points (RRD EVO y29) What do you suggest?

Dang... You sold me Jeff! Already had my board leash on my calf - but going to get my wing on my waist. Are many people going without a board leash? I haven't tried or figured out how to body drag without the board if thats even possible. Seems like there are some advantages of wiping out and clearing away from the board without it yanking back towards you?

quick realease is safety is key on the Ride Engine leashes. you never know when some crazy kiteboarder is going to wrap you...

DOES NOT WORK. Produced leaky connection between adapter and Slingshot wing, whereas a Slingshot pump with same shaped adapter pumped up the wing just fine. The difference in internal diameter between this adapter and the Slingshot pump was 0.2mm, a large enough difference so that as you pump up to pressures beyond 2 PSI, a substantial proportion of each pump stroke whistles out the connection.

We were using 4m wings. Blowing about 5-10mph at the most

how big was the wing in the video?

Awesome ride!

Yeah You had a blast 🤙🤙🤙🤙 Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰 Did you wear a normal cap ? Or was it like the Dakine bump cap ? Unfortunately we can’t by them in Europe….

Hi Jeff, this is great, thank you. I am very happy with waist leash for the wing, but currently also connect the board leash to my waist harness. How is the calf leash for those who switch feet? Does it get in the way at all during foot swaps or if the leash is on your front foot? Or is the calf leash better for folks who don't switch feet? Also, looks like the riders on the GWA are just using a wing leash and no board leash. What are your thoughts on that? Probably not a good idea for most folks... Thank you!

Much prefer a waist leash esp for wing foiling, as it stops getting caught up in the wing leash on the wrist.

Just tried my wing leash connected to a harness. Hated it. Leash tangled w everything including the board. I watch a zillion winging vids and it seems pretty 50/50 what riders prefer. BTW, I tried your ball stoppers and they are great.

Could you show us how you connect the stopper ball setup? Is it something you make yourself?

The buckle is in a weird spot. Is the belt meant to be worn with the slider in front or back.

I'm on a waist leash for the wing and ankle for the board. Was thinking of moving the board to the waist as well. I'll give the calf a go and see how that works out.

How about the sand filters, what material can be used if not installed and how?

Great example. My Ozone Alpha V1 needed to change the valve

Can you use it for wakeboarding? Ty

Does this not twist without having a swivel

That leading edge seam construction is a mess. Double folded seam and lots of glue. These repairs take a lot of time. Jeff you might mention the amount of time this takes. Nice job.
