Monofoil Paddle Up, 600 m, 150 s, Distance Training
Sorry, just paddle perspective. Actually testing how far I can go in flat water, showing my current state, but feels like fast progressing.
Setup is the same as I am Parawinging, Winging and Downwinding:
6'6 Takoon Escape Air, Levitaz: 75 cm strut, HA1600pro Monofoil.

DIY Peak Parawing Handle V3.0
Переглядів 6022 місяці тому
3rd try and now happy with my DIV solution. The handle is designed for nondestructive conversions of PEAK v4 & v5. It is possible to use one length for the sizes 2,5 m²; 3 m² and 4 m² but I will use specific ones in 30, 33 and 37 cm.

Parawing, Exowing, DW, Wakethiefing - Compilation
Переглядів 2,2 тис.3 місяці тому
Started Parawinging this spring, converting old FS Peaks, before any serial product was available for parawing - downwinding. Even in our small light wind lakes and sea bays with just 10 km fetch a parawing enables to do infinity carousel downwinders. Also the Elvolve Exowing is an intersting toy for the same application, while being a wing as many are used to. Discussion: oaseforum.de/showthre...

1st Pumping a Monofoil in the flat

Started to use my nice Levitaz HA1100 cm² Monofoil with the great 70 l BRACURU Custom Wingboard for Pumping which seems to work pretty nice. A bit more cardio training and no problem to get over 60 sec, guess where to end with such a high efficient setup with no Brake (Stailiser) installed.

Tested the Peak 4 in the sizes 3 m² and 5 m² around 4 days in the water. Out of around 70 drops just one time it was not possible to relaunch directly. I had to wind up correct kite position and then launch it in the deep water, which therefore could also be performend when starting from a boat for example. But know, that there is no Waranty to use the kite in the water and you may damage or lo...

A friend build this nice micro pocket board, which saved my ass after my last one brokes. If you ones started feeling compfortable with a less than 1 m board, you never want to go back. The whole setup weights just 5,5 kg and is as you see pretty bomb proved for jumping.

Thanks for the video ! what is your feedback regarding the Exowing ? more specifically, how about the upwind performance compared to a classic wing ?
Upwind ability of up to date inflatable wings, the Exowing and the Peak-Parawing-Conversion are all three pretty much the same, pointing around 45°. But Exowing can be trimmed in a wide range of profile settings from low to high winds. But actually I use Exowing mostly for light wind wake thiefing and Parawing for higher lake wind wave downwinding and upwinging. Classic inflatable wings I nearly haven't used anymore in 2024, quick (un)foldability of the new toys is one of many advantages. More details You may find in the forum.
THX for the nice Video! Can you say on what lake you are?
Video is mostly Germany / Chiemsee, showing at moderate west and east wind conditions. Allowed me to have about 20 parawing - DW - session there during last 8 month since spring 2024.
As somebody asked: The white screws (M5 and M4) are made of plastic, I guess nylon but not sure, the standard what you get in the hardware store. The main wood half with the screws is made of stronger beech wood and the conter cover half is made of lighter spruce. I have now two handles in usage since a month and they both work fine with my Peak Parawings.
Why do you want to pump stabless?
As it feels more efficient to me, less resistance, better manoeuvrability on waves; check 8 years of documentation at kiteforum
You need a better camera but well done 👍🏼
I started to mess around with my Peak but just the thought of putting the lower bridal back together after taking it off seemed like it would be a ton of work :(
Don't worry, even if all main bridles come loose and get mixed, there is a logic structure that can be learned and get used to. But a help can be to use crepe tape to fix part of bridle to a floor or a desk to keep them sorted till you reinstall them to a parawing handle or back to a kite mixer. If learned, as you see in the video, it is all just about minutes.

Nice…I converted my 3.5 m 3 lines Ozone trainer, it does not have a depower line, I shorten ( removed the pigtail knots & reconnected ) lines to use as a Parawing but very under power. FS Peak 4 has 2 depower lines, how did you shorten the depower lines? Thx…
Sollte das nicht sogar mit einem Nasawing klappen?
Nasawing is IMO just thinkable as a PaddleUp replacement, as its upwind capability should be even worse than BRM Maliko. If You want to go fast back upwind between Your DW runs till now there is IMO nothing that beats Exowing or Peak-Parawing-Conversions Diskussion auf Deutsch findet sich hier: oaseforum.de/showthread.php?p=1493890

What size peaks are you using?
Peak5 in 2,5 m², for higher winds Peak4 in 3,0 m², which has the best over all behaviour Exowing 3,5 m², which has the option to be used as 2,5 m², when wingtips are kept folded
@@horstsergio3568that is what I imagined. Hate the idea of going out holding something bigger than 3m2
Cool, endlich sieht man mal wie geloopt wird beim start.
Hey was für einen Rucksack / Kamerahalterung hast du in deinen Videos am Rücken. Das schaut sehr stabil aus.
Thanks great short video!
How is the Bracuru Board to pump?
Yes man, cool as usual :-)
Wow, Bravo! HA no less.
Nice!
I use only one front strap across. Much safer if you crash.
Hello my friend , do you know someone that want to sell the 8M firefly ?
Hey warum stellst du eigentlich Videos ein, wenn du eh nicht auf Fragen reagierst. Das ist ein wirklich unschönes Verhalten.
Hi if possible in English what do you think of it?
Das ist ja super lässig wie du auf dieses kleine Brett aus dem Sitzen aufsteigt. Könntest du eventuell beschreiben wie du das genau machst?
Hi buddy , do you know if the Firefly is closed cell ?
Servus Horst, bin beeindruckt von deiner Expertise und deiner Leidenschaft für‘s Foil & Wasser 👍🏻Habe nach deinem Mojo gesucht und dich hier entdeckt 😊
(Ambach)
Ich wurde gerne mit dir Kiten Horst Mfg.Lucas
Wo ist das ?
Super Danke!!!
Very tempting. How much wind was there and how big was the kite?
5m kite
I can feel some practicing coming on :) Thanks for the inspiration!
Pro tip : watch series at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
@Byron Luca Definitely, I have been using Flixzone for years myself :D
You're the man Horst! If it wasn't for you starting the Peak4 thread on Kiteforum I wouldn't be having so much fun foiling 😀 Just love my Flysurfer Peak4 kites!
Schöner 360er. Aber so ein Monofoil scheint doch recht zickig....
Sehr gut, allerdings dürfte es schwierig werden, wenn das Wasser mehr Chopwellen hat?
Der Link in der Beschreibung zeigt ERROR 404. Muss was falsch sein.
Fantastic skills, always! Do you use Tuttle mount foil? Also, do you use the Manta load plate? Thanks!
it's the 8M ?
1:24 - looks like the 5m
How much wind was there? It looks super light. Most ppl using foil kites use enormous sizes like 15 or 18m. If you can ride LW with a 5m it becomes very interesting
@@davidflusin5705 I'm 65 kg and got going with a 13m closed cell foil in 5-6kts. Much more effort required to keep kite flying, front facing water relaunch also impossible at these wind speeds. I'd say at low wind speeds you want the efficiency of closed cell for the extra .5kt low end.
Grazie per questo clip, molto informativo. 🔝
Cool gemacht. 👍
60 seconds of kiting is 1 hour of swimming, what is 1 minute of swimming to kiting
Is this somewhere in Croatia?
Lol no fuselage, no stab 🤪🤪👌 you crazy man!
I'll love to see a tutorial
Crazy skills for foil kits ... consider a 360 camera for more stable video
Hi, I would like to know how do you pack the kite before getting into the water. I have tried twice with poor succes, also no room here on the lakes...
Is a foil kite worth this effort to launch?
most amazing video
Any recommendations for landing the kite and packing in shallow water? Not enough room at my spot to land the 15m sonic on land. Gonna try this drift launch in the coming weeks when I get my foil board back from the repair shop :)
@Bernd would you recommend to fly the peak with a 4-line bar and a V? Or better the original setup with a Y? What are your thoughts on the 5th line especially with regard to deep water and drift launching?
Great video.. where was it?
ohhh my god yes!!!
