No need to loop the Soul for water start on foil in light wind. Fly Soul low through power zone sheeted out, then sheet in slightly at end of power zone. For light wind 12m Soul is the biggest required. Past 12m you have diminishing returns for extra weight to keep kite in air vs. force generated.

You are probably more right than wrong. Big foil wing make it possible!

6knts plus on onda 10m soul get me going after loop or 2 with 16m lines. For soul rule of thumb is when it stays at zenith then you now you can go 🙂

How would you describe the setup to a successful gybe in light conditions... I tend to think get the kite at 12, sheet out let it fly forward on the window, then hard turn and ease the turning radius as it swoops down next to the water... Direction of the foil travel, i would say initially upwind then slightly down wind as the kite is travelling down and then a sharp in opposite direction as the kite comes out of the loop... Not sure any of that makes sense, but keen on ideas... 💡

I think you pretty much nailed it! though there could be a couple of techniques that work. Ultimately whatever works for you !

Зачем пудра на лице?

Это крем... шоб если лицо - вода то лучше скользило по поверхности...

wind 5m/s is not light wind for me, it is the regular conditions I go with my 15m LEI and 139 board(and I am 100kg!) :D

[@kiteboardingart2416]

Well in the video I am reffering to the winds of 5-6 knots which is 2.5-3m/s :-) !
