Wow ,A lot of hard work. Nice video by the way 👍🏄🏼‍♂️

hehe, yes it was... not all session are perfect ;-).
it's difficult to start with such light wind and onshore conditions. Shallow water due to low tide makes it even harder.

nice weather there in February 😉

😁😁😁

[@DavidKlein89]

This is exactly why I sold the hyperlink :)

[@yannickver]

it was the first time in 2 seasons that this kite did not restart and that I had to swimm... and it was 100% my own error that the kite fell into the water. I'm use to foil with peak4 5m² and after that using a hyperlink needs some adaptation.
But this kite is very performant, upwind angle is insane.

Thats why the V2 is so much better with the ultra light canopy

[@yannickver]

This is de V1 in ultralight version, was an option.

[@MennolAbeesports]

@@yannickver weird, i never have any problems with light wind foiling.

[@yannickver]

here it's 100% my mistake, steering error. I'm used to small peak4 5m² that I used all the time, then I took again my hyperlink that I did not use for several months and did not adapt my timing...
it's a very good kite, but needs good technique.
