Yes I think so, can't remember. It was one of the first HA Wings from Gong. If you need a new Foil: Go for the Indiana Condor XL with S or XS Stab. It is a freaking game changer for an excellent price! I have it forntesting now and it blows my mind!

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland I have an allvator 1900cm2 and I wanted to know if I can learn foil pumping with it, I weigth 70kg. thanks

Sure! I learned it on this Foil and it was super easy. You just neet to know that you wont be able to do 1min + runs on this

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland gracias. Por que no mas de un minuto? Hace falta otro tipo de foil para no cansarse pronto?

Yes, these foils are not even close to the efficiency of a foil from 2024! A Swiss guy pumped for over 4 hours on flat water on a lake! That is beyond everything we have ever dreamed of!

Hi, the difference is huge! On the Chubanga I have a top speed of 70km/h, on the Levitaz my measured topspeed is 48km/h

Wow, that's a big difference

Yes! Hopefully! The Chubanga is one of the fastest and best racefoils on the market and the Levitaz 850 is a freeride foil that also can be used as a wingfoil.

Hi, It is a Flysurfer Soul 2 8m on 15m Lines and a Chubanga V3 Foil and a selfmade Board. I learned since that Video that it is also easy to make an around the world wirh a slower foil like a Levitas HA850 and strapless. You need to fly down the kite slower but you can pump much better!

Ist etwas ilegal dort, aber ist vor der Autobahneinfahrt in Oberwinterthur beim Kieswerk. Windrichtung Ost

Thanks, tried to explain it as easy as possible. In low wind I learned that it is easier on a bigger foil wich you can pump around. Strapless in the Levitas 850 is super cool and „easy“

Hi, it will work, but there are easier wings out there to start. You need a fast run at the beginning.

Hi, I use 22m lines

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland thanks! i have a 13m peak4 and 6m peak5. do you think a 55cm bar with 22m lines would be good? or 50cm bar? Thanks for the video

Take the 55cm bar!!!

Hi, I use the 250. Faster and more reactive than the 300. I cutted down a 250 to 200 but could not test it yet. the 250 also works great on the cruiser für kiting

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland thank you

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland Hi, what shim did you use for the RW250? Levitaz seems to recommend +0.6 for RW300 with HA1600. For HA1300 with RW250 they list +0.9

@@johans8597 hi I don’t use a shim on the 250

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland Thanks for your reply, I have almost the same setup and trying to figure out how to best configure it for pump. I tried both with and without the +0.9 shim yesterday and I found it somewhat easier to maintain 'altitude' with the shim. I use the HA1600, 60fuse,75allcarbon mast and 250RW with a exo pocket se.

It was bad in lower regions but higher up it was ok. Now we have fresh pow like crazy and there is still more snow coming!

Hi, I have ni Idea wich song that was. It was a free song from the Internet.

Hi, die Pads kannst du via riftboards.com beziehen. Schreibe mir doch eine Mail falls du bestellen möchtest, ich kann dir im Preis entgegen kommen. lg

Thanks! 👍

Easy answer. I never crashed since I started flying. You have to know that this flight is well planed before. I walked up the hole line and checkt everything I need to know. Are there some cables, wich is the best line, are there some fences, where can I land, are there different spots to land and so on. Down by my car I had little windsock that I checked with a telescope before I started and also the smoke from the fire on the other valley side told me that there was absolutely no wind. If it had been windy I would never have flown so close to the terrain.

I produce it by myself. you can buy it at riftboards.com

You will find it by the accessoires

thx! almost forgot this day! need to watch my own video again

Hi It is still perfect. You can use this kite for many winters!

hi, you can buy it on riftboards.com. but all boards are handmade so it will need some time to build it because i have some orders already. Just get in touch via the homepage

I personally like the Chubanga a little bit more because it is easier to ride. Both Foils are great but the chubanga is simple. You don’t have screws to change the angle of the rear wing, you don’t have different front wings and masts. On the upwind i think Levitaz is faster, on the downwind maybe the Chubanga. On the chubanga you need a special Board and waiting time for a Foil is higher and communication with chubanga is not that easy. Levitaz is more professional.

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland thank you for your feed back 👍

It was made out of balsa wood. But check out my videos, I have a new version with much more performance!

SK Shapes Snowkitebar

Hi, it is the Snowkite Bar from SK Shapes. I use the same Bar on all Peaks. By far the Best Bar and Release System you can get!

Salut Horatiu, vad ca te interesezi de peak 5. De cand l-am testat pe al tau in Tenerife am inceput si eu sa ma interesez de unul. Am uitat cum se numea site-ul de unde l-ai luat tu

Hi Never used the 5m yet. Just 8m and 11m and never had problems with the tips. I bought the 5m primarily for foilig in waves. But I will answer you again if I use the 5m in the next few weeks.

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland Ок👍

Sallü Sötti um Neujahr gsi sii woni dobe gsi bi. Jo isch en geile Spot. Sägelhang findi fasch na besser aber im Näbel hani mi nöd getraut zum go sägle. Erschrick immer abartig wenn plötzli en Tännli vor dir uftaucht!

Hi, my Bar has 55cm and that is what Flysurfer also recommends. And I can fly loops with backstalling the kite. So I don‘t thing my bar is to small. The Singleskin Kites normally flys slower and turn slower than a normal soft kite. And the 13m war really to slow for me and in ride ups between trees and rocks I need a little bit more reactive kite to get up the mountains save.

Je utilise des lignes de 20m pur toutes les tailles

Cool! Bestelle früh, denn aktuell benötigen wir knapp 3 bis 4 Wochen für die Fertigstellung. Nimm via Homepage Kontakt zu uns auf für die Absprache der Farbe. Cheers, Simon

Thx! The reason is that I had the same range before and there is always 3m2 different from size to size. I used the 5m only two times last winter and to be honest, It was not funny to kite in a snowstorm by -15 degrees. So if there is a storm, I prefer a wellness weekend😀 The 5m is also a good kite for my girlfriend when I use the 8m and I plan to use the peak on the foil as well. I think the 4m is just to small and not very funny to ride.

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland Thanks for your answers! That's what I think as well that 4m is not fun to ride. Sometimes I like to be over powered a little bit and I think that with 4 m peak it is very difficult to achieve :) Personally I don't like pink colour but I like yellow. That's another reason to choose 5m instead of 4m :)

Nice Vid, @Riftboards, definitely helped me hit the buy button on a v5 so thanks!. It was a coin flip between the 4m and 5m and I finally went with 4. On snow I can hold my 12m Speed to low 20's but that get's no fun very quickly. I'm hoping the 4m will take over for those conditions (which we get a lot) when everyone else is on 7m LEI. If I didn't have the 12 I'd get 5m for sure. (90kg). Will let ya know how it goes in a week or 2.

@@collider4378 Will be waiting for your review and experience!

@@collider4378 HI! Did you try 4m size? If yes, what do you think about the power and pull of this kite? Or you think 5m would be a better size?

I think in 7kn to 8kn you will already go up the hill. In 20kn I will go for the 8m. On Single Skin Kites you are overpowered really fast.

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland Nice! Thanks for the reply.

I use 1.6mm frontlines (425dnA) and 1.3mm backlines (300dnA). You can buy the lines from SK Shapes in custom length. It is a custom bar especially for snowkiting.

Jooo und bei der Kitefarbe ist das geile, er wird sogar unsichtbar!!!

Hi, the Board is already sold. I have another one. It will be online on riftboards.com around new year.

You still lookig for a Board? PN me on info@riftboards.com. I have one for sale

Hi I use my 8m Soul on 13m lines and have 4m extension for lighter wind or when I use it in the waves. When I sheet in the bar completely, the back lines are 5 cm shorter and the Kite will have a little back stall. I don’t use the kite for big airs so you have to find the right position by yourself. Cheers, Simon

Hi Sorry for the late answer. I think 12 and 15 are super close together. I would go for the 10m. Then you will have a "fast" kite. When you are interested in Big Air, go for the Sonic 3. Man I love this Kite. Endless Hangtime and so easy to controll. Kiteloops with the Soul are ok. I tried Megaloops on my 8m Soul and they worked fine. Came in strapless on the Foil, jumped of and made the loop. Had a soft Landing. A Tubekite turns faster. Overhead and landing loops should not be a Problem. I made this with my 15 and 13 a lot.

Gong Allvator xxl or Gong Allvator xxl pro

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland I guess those models are out of stock then. I can't find them on going website

I think they have better wings now anyway. More efficient.

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland thanks

You mean 2cm?

@@user-py1hc4lz1q I guess yes, 2cm. Because 2mm is almost not possible to see :))

Ja das ist so, dass das Umschlaufen an der Bar eine Möglichkeit ist. Aber die bringt nicht den gewünschten Effekt. Das Umschlaufen an der Bar verkürzt auch C und B. Somit hat der Kite mehr Backstall, dreht aber per se nicht schneller. Ich habe schon ca 10cm Backstall an der Bar. Mit dem kleinen Knoten verkürze ich gewollt nur Z und dies gibt mir ohne gross den Backstall zu beeinflussen, einen schneller drehenden Kite. Und solange Flysurfer selber in der Waage Knoten macht um ein durchrutschen der Waage durch die Rollen zu verhindern, habe ich absolut keine Bedenken wegen des Knoten in Z. Da zumal die anderen Ebenen viel mehr beansprucht werden. Die verbauten Leine dort hat (soweit mir bekannt) 600kg Bruchlast. Ein Knoten senkt dies um 40 Prozent, heisst 360kg. An der Bar hast du maximal um die 10 bis 15kg. Geteilt durch 2 Leinen. Daher easyyyyyyyyyyyyy

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland Ich benutze eine Force Control Bar und fahre mit der Standard Konfiguration ABC und Z auf einer Länge. Daher hält sich der Backstall in Grenzen. Ich bin primär Kitelandboarder..daher ist es auch nicht so tragisch, dass der Kite etwas träger ist. Hauptsache er liftet mich gut 😁

Hi Changing the pigtails was the the best thing I have done on a flysurfer kite since years. Flew the kite a lot since this video and never ever had any problems again. With the break load you are right. But Flysurfer has a standard knot in the A Line as you can see at 7:45 (can be B or C, not motivated to check the kite in the garage). And these lines has much more strengt than the Z. So I think I wont have problems with this knot.

The Lines there has 600kg breaking load. The knot can reduce it by 40%. So still 360kg. At the Bar you will have max 10 to 15kg. And this on two lines. So I think this knot will never be a problem.

Did not know the difference. I dont use the Gong Foil anymore and have no Idea what is their range at the moment

@@RiftboardsSwitzerland ic,thanks sir i realy appreciate your time ... godspeed
