But gear keeps adding up. New favorites are obviously the Aluula kites. The only reason I scored the deals was because a similar situation happened with my Best Cabo’s; company goes out of business and I score a deal off a lifetime.
The Cabo has its replacement. An overpriced but fun replacement. The Reo v5 almost feels identical to the Cabo v3. Parhaps a little faster and lighter? That could be just the price talking. Overall I like the kite but need more time in bigger waves and not offshore conditions.
My beloved 9m Best Cabo v3 is dying and has been for a while. I had a choice to make. Go to the best of the best of what I know and love or heed to the interweb hype and get the Reo. As a dedicated internet hype whore, well you see the pic. Hopefully…
Too lazy to post new toy pix. Peak4 6m and a Slingshot UFO v2 4m. Peaks for the win any day; just don’t drop ’em.

The deals were so good! Luckily only my girlfriend knows and the random user that might hit this page….
Learning to foil pump behind a jetski on the GoFoil M280 with the Maliko stab. 16′ wakesurf rope and a few pool noodles to keep it from getting sucked in. Works well but the noodles add some drag when riding the wake. The jetski doesn’t create a lot of wake and although possible to foil…
Is my chase for ultra light wind over? On the Slingshot Outwit 5’10 SUP with 100 lites of volume mated to the GoFoil Maliko 200 / 280 wings combined with a Peak4 kite I’ve reached a pinnacle of my light wind. Never thought a 5m kite would get me going in under 10mph. And I…
