North Reach very low wind foiling session

[@blubb9004]

Vielleicht ist Englisch nicht so dein Ding, aber deine Leichtwindskills finde ich beeindruckend. Man kann förmlich spüren, wie der Schirm Mühe hat, sich nur selbst in der Luft zu halten und ich kenne den sehr sehr überschaubaren Zug, den er selbst voll in der "Power"zone dann noch entwickelt...als ob eine Oma mit Rollater drängelt, mehr kommt da ja gefühlt nich...und trotzdem nutzt du das und kommst aufs Foil, echt stark.

Vielen dank das lange hybrid board macht da sehr viel aus fast mehr wie ein großer flügel. Bin umgestiegen seit 4wochen suf 800cm² und geht ähnlich früh bis 6kts aber entscheidend ist wirklich erst hochzukommen und da hilft einfach das board unglaublich 🤘🫣

Sehr genial zu sehen, wozu der Reach im Stande ist - mega Kite Handling!

Awesome! I have a 15m and 9m Reach. Great kites. I'm replacing my 12m with a Reach soon to complete the quiver. 🤙

[@TomKitesurf-Passion]

Yes really good kite for nearly everything was with my 13m reach 3weeks ago waveriding(sardinia italy) in around 12-14kts still fun with this kite 😀

[@sybex69]

Hope you had a good swim! at least it was a nice day, i always like to see yours videos !

[@TomKitesurf-Passion]

Yes was fun anyway the second time i had to swim a buddy nearby helped with a jetski, they have done some rescue training luckly so i was there "training object" and they had also fun 😉

[@methanesprings4085]

Wow that wind is off and on. My spot is a little more consistent. I’m on a 13 hyperlink with 27 meter lines for 5 to 8 kts.

[@giorgio4660]

Are these bars comfortable almost like the north?

[@giorgio4660]

Btw why you never try reverse relaunch or to pull a front and a back line? Usually these are the best in low wind

[@TomKitesurf-Passion]

Overall yes, the only downside of this bar is the too small swivel. So when you do a lot of looping it might anoy you from time to time. Its a good bar but most time i use my north or cabrinha bar.

[@TomKitesurf-Passion]

@@giorgio4660 yes i try but no chance the conditions where really unstable and when the gust hits me it was faster to relaunch the "normal" way ;)

[@christianeblablubblabla2635]

Respekt.

[@filippoi.4138]

Pulling opposite front of the back you are pulling could have helped. Anyway well done ✌🏻

[@randomreviews5810]

Question Can I use the 2019 cabrinha bars on the north reach?

[@TomKitesurf-Passion]

for sure everybar which has 4 line with same length (when bar is fully powered / pulled to your body) i use universal bar from france... to test it when you on beach and the kite ist at 12 pull the to your body the kite should now keep still in the air and should not back stall then everything is fine :)

[@giorgio4660]

You can, these are almost identical… the lines in the cabrinha 2019 bars seems like bungies anyway…

[@davidflusin5705]

Nice one. If you had gone with a Peak5, what size would you have needed?

[@TomKitesurf-Passion]

I think my 8m would be perfect but the chance that the peak drop into water was big some times there was close to no wind

[@davidflusin5705]

@@TomKitesurf-Passion Why not the 13m? Wouldn't that fly better in super light wind?

[@TomKitesurf-Passion]

@@davidflusin5705 at this time i do not have my 13...i did already some foiling sessions with the 13m an maybe it could be the better option if you have a smaller wing and the wind drops often but overall not a huge difference. Anyway the 13m is nearly same fun as the 11m super fast :)

[@davidflusin5705]

@@TomKitesurf-Passion So for super light wind (4-8 KTS) with a big foil (Lift 170HA) you'd recommend the 11m over the 13m?

[@TomKitesurf-Passion]

​@@davidflusin5705 no i would go for sure with 13m, the 13m/15m is lighter build specially for light wind. (better m² / weight ration) But in that kind of maginal wind conditions it´s still depending on the wind itself and you skills i think. Most time when i know it´s a chance the wind getting better i go for the 13m so i have the option to switch to my strappless/twintip. If i only want to foil in this session i go for the 11m because of a little bit more playfull. Up to you :)
