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…

IT’S CHONKY! Freshly unwrapped! Now I need some waves or wind to try it out. Seems a bit large for even the most ultra light kite days with the Peak 4 and perhaps a little too small to SUP for my weight. Perhaps the perfect size to learn how to crawl out and foil surf…

Picked up a GoFoil Maliko 280 wing. Just can’t get the M200 to lift me off with a paddle in these janky ass waves. Doesn’t seem that much bigger than the 200 but it’s definitely not small.

Hopefully it’s not the last! Got to try my new 2019 Ezzy Elite 6.1m. Always wanted the 6.1m.

How could I pass up a $250 deal for a new surfboard, shipped? Decent construction with a 3mil PVC sheet on the top. Wish the whole thing was a PVC sandwich and the front pad with straps was included but I guess you only get so much on a discount board. 2015 Axis Wave 5’7….

8-12mph, Iwa foil and Best Cabo 11m. Figured with less battens it’s lighter than the new WS 11m. Wish I didn’t like this kite so much. I’d slice it up and test how well it would work with two or all of the struts removed. Hmm…

I guess I’m still pissed at the shop that sold me the board. They don’t know the difference between a tuttle, deep tuttle, some F-One proprietary foil box and a GoFoil straight deep tuttle. “Yes, it’s a deep tuttle”, I was told with multiple emails and phone calls. I guess all they wanted is the…

Oh yes! After falling in like (not love, too much commitment) with the Best Cabo v3’s, I bought my first full quiver of a single model kite (Cabo 5/7/8/9/11m). I watched the Best rumor mill declare the company in/out of business on a weekly basis and then was pleasantly surprised to see the designer of…
