why the scoop board doesn't has the "V" front (double) strap System? It only comes with one front insert. Most of Advanced riders use 3 atrapa (2 front and 1 back)
Great review blake, super insightful. I am upgrading from a slingshot space skate setup, i think the wing is around 1500cm2. I love its instant lift and feel but i want to go faster. The SS seems to max out around 30kph. Would you recommend the 850 or 1150 for my next kite foil setup? Cheers from DK
I'd go for the 1150 Frederik. It will keep that low speed lift but add a good bit of speed and maneuverability. The 850 will be a massive jump down and require a different riding style.
Hey just watched an old video you have about picking a board. You only went up to 200lbs. I'm 250 without a wetsuit for clarity I'm also 6"3 Is there a board big enough for someone my size?
Hey Samuel, yes there are boards for your side for sure! Depending on the wind speeds in your area I would recommend a 148-160 size board. The smaller board will give you more maneuverability where as a bigger board will be a more stable platform. If you are learning then I would highly recommend a bigger board. www.mackiteboarding.com/boards-recommended-for-beginners/

Cool with the Norwegian flag on the beach 😁
How does this foil compare to the LF glider and Impulse?

Norwegian flag in the back there 🇳🇴 Where is this filmed?
That's right! Filmed in my parents backyard in Northern Michigan. My dad's side is 100% Norwegian. Look forward to making it there some day!
