Haha that's something I'm still trying to figure out myself 😂 I think the best thing you can do is be as efficient as possible on each kite size in as big of a wind range as possible. It makes you a better rider, however I also usually see what my teammates or other riders are using and that helps me make a decision.
Love these vids and following along on the journey! Thanks Daniella! 🙌 Cool to hear about the gear as well! A kite tuning how-to video sometime would be awesome!! 🙏🙏
Thanks for the videos Daniella, interesting to see the training you guys are doing. I set my R5 up same as Florian in the Levitaz video, but added an extra 1/2 turn for more lift initially. Have since dropped it back a bit but moved front strap position back one hole. Better. Enjoy and looking forward to seeing some more international racing again soon. 👍
That jibe at about 6:45 reminds me of myself!
hahaha it happens to the best of us 😂
Fun fact on the gear-geek side of things, the stick-on foil mount sticks!
That's good to know! Never tried one of those before
Nice video. Can you tell us what size kite you choose given the forecast wind speed? (Or is that a tactical secret?!)

Hey nice vids ,great info.
Can you give a breakdown of how you set your board up , shimming etc struggling with set up .
Great idea! Thanks for watching, I'll be working on a video where I talk about how I set up all my gear soon

Thanks for watching!! I will definitely work on that - tips for tuning kites has been highly requested
Hi Ben, the Flysurfer VMG2 is a two level bridle (A and Z) and has no mixer like most other foil kites. No need to tune the VMG2 which is sweet! 😃

Thanks for watching! I started with what Flo has and ended up tightening it even more because I like a lot of front foot pressure.
Daniela, keep bring these super nice videos, thank you. Where is your next race?
Thank you for watching!! Hopefully French Olympic Week in Hyeres in April! 🤞🏽
Wait wait wait, you got some dnfs because why? (Cliff hanger :)
Curious as well, I saw just one time the kite in the water. Another great video, West Marine supporting kite racing, that’s USA for sure !
Hahaha just a hectic day! Made some mistakes 🤷🏼♀️😂
