Hi Ben, at the moment I have a decision problem between fusion 5 and carved imperator 6 both 139 length. imperator for 660 and fusion 5 for 825. I love Freeriding big air and oldshool, what would be your choice? 😅 have some advice for me? thanks and cheers from germany
Hallo Ben. Ich liebe deine Vlogs. Kannst du mir bitte sagen wo am Comersee ich am besten im Sommer vom Strand den kite starten und landen kann? Ist es in Dongo erlaubt? Kennst du am Lago Maggiore (Westseite) einen guten Spot? Gruss Raoul
Hey, dank dir 😊🙌 Am Lago Maggiore war ich noch nie kiten. Am Comersee kannst du vom Ufer aus starten in: Gera Lario, Colico, Dongo, Cremia, Dervio und Valmadrera (morgen Wind). War das hilfreich ? LG
Vielen Dank. War hilfreich. Habe am Lagio Maggiore Public Beach in Camogno mit Google view entdeckt. Für mich viel kürzere Anreise da ich aus Brig komme. LG mach weiter so mit deinen Videos. Hast zu Recht den ersten Preis gewonnen
How does it compare to the choice 4 ? I’m thinking about getting a small board for when riding super powered up for big air, would you recommend another choice or a fusion ?
I woule recommend the Fusion as you already have a choice and aswell as you need it for strong winds and bigairs. To me that’s what the Fusion 5 is made for…
@@vikingh3008 I have it on two of my Carved Imperator 7s. It doesn't do much for my LW board as it's low rocker already. But on the 137 it really makes an appreciable difference. It becomes an upwind rocket.
@@vikingh3008 So yes, it makes a difference. Just like having two different boards with different rockers. Upwind, efficiency and edging are improved with a lower rocker. You also get the downside of harder landings and not as good in heavy chop. The great thing is you can just switch it on/off and not go change boards. I love it. (and I originally thought it was a gimmick) I'm stoked to try it on the Fusion 5 as this is supposed to have a little more rocker than my Imp 7. Where I kite the wind is very on/off so it's nice to have any extra efficiency you can get.
@@BenBeholzVlogsI live in the USA. There is no kite shop near me. So most of the time I need to buy first and try later. I am looking to get smaller fins 42mm. Do you if le length no the eight makes a difference? Thanks
Ben I need some help choosing a size. I weigh 82Kg and ride C-kites in lighter winds. 11m in 14-17 kts and a 9m above 16kts. What size would you get? My dealer only has a 137 and a 141. I wanted the 139 but not available. Do you think the 141 would be too big? Your thoughts much appreciated.
Hi Ben, thinking to get one of these but can't decide on the right size: 139 or 137? Is it noticable difference? I have 82 kg and riding usualy xr 12sqm and 9 sqm on stronger conditions. Thanks
I have zwo of this…. In 141x42 and LW 154x46. Both with 48mm fins …. feels easier to me to go up wind …. and I am not a pro rider. I only will have fun and enjoy the day.
@@BenBeholzVlogs wheigt is too much. I ride the smaller board on the German & Denmarks coasts. The LW is for my local home spot - lake „Steinhuder Meer“. Here you have almost low base wind of around 15 knots with often double strong gusts- 15 knots + until to 25-30 knots of gusts. It‘s easier to me to have a funny day with a smaler kite and bigger board. If you will kite on Steinhuder Meer, you have to learn handle extrem gusty wind in less space on the water (too much kiter for the small lake).
Moin Ben, wieder ein sehr geiles „gute-Laune-Video“, vielen Dank für Deine positiven Vibes in diesen unschönen Zeiten!🙏🏻 Ich fahre das Fusion 5 und ich liebe es! Bin gerade dabei, Board offs zu üben mit Board Spin, warum sieht es bei Dir so leicht aus?😅 Aber auch dafür ist das Board super, sehr griffig und handlich mit den eingebauten Channels. Sag gerne Bescheid, wenn Du mal wieder in Norddeutschland bist, dann mache Ich paar Shots von Dir. Liebe Grüße von der Insel Fehmarn
@@BenBeholzVlogs Sehr gerne. Ich bin Filmer und mache viele Videos von meinen Kitebuddys hier oben, auf meinem Kanal hab ich schon einige Videos hochgeladen 🙂 Lieben Gruß
@@BenBeholzVlogs War nur Mal so Interesse halber. Hab das Board als 137er. Hab mich jedoch geärgert das ich es nicht probegefahren bin. Hab damit nun 10 Sessions und mir kommt es zu klein vor. Ich geb dem Board aber noch eine paar Sessions denn die 10 waren nicht mit guten Bedingungen.
Is always nice to see you in action and even more to see you live on the spot !!
Thank you 🙏
I love you place way to much bro 👊 Hopefully soon again with a Freistiel Pro Camp 🙌
What a good sole you have, you can laugh at your mistakes and share them with everyone. Thank you
Thank you 😊🙌 Of course I can 😋🤘
The videos just keep getting better and better, keep it up
Thank you so much 😊🙌🙌🙌
How about a tutorial of this stylish circle-trick-thingy min. 0:14
Would be very cool👍
@@haukem7179 +1 !!! 👍👍
I agree love the toeside loop circle on min. 0:14
Thank you ! Is in the making 😊
Great movies, shown very well. You can learn a lot from you, so every new movie is like a good lesson. 👌
Thank you so much 😊🙌 That‘s very motivating to me 🙌
Great video! Have had the 137 Fusion 5 since july. Love it, but changed fins from 48 to 42 in november and love it even more now😁
That good to know, do you ride it on the smaller find only now ?
@@BenBeholzVlogs yes, suits me better when the board is a more lively😊
Wishing you the best! Your videos are an inspiration for us all! 😇💙
Thank you buddy 😊🙌
Einfach eine gechillte session! Großartig!
Vielen dank 😊🙌
Once again an inspiring video that makes me want to go kiting asap !! Thanks Ben ;-)
Yeah ! Mission complete 😋🙌
cool tricks , the board seem very well , watch you in the next challenge
Yes bro, it is 👊😊 Thank you 🙏
I love Porto Botte and Punta Trettu, also Is Solinas is awesome 🤙🏻
True that ! I never was in Is Solinas. Will check this next time…

Einfach toll anzuschauen. Das Video hätte auch 2 Stunden lang sein können. War aber noch nie bei Offshore Wind draußen.
Danke dir, das ist mega nett 😊🙌 Sardinien hat super offshore spots mit stehtiefem Wasser. Quasi der „sichere“ offshore -genuss 😋
5:27 Entweder du hast Schuhgröße 50 oder du hast die S-Bindung :)
Habe Schuhgrösse 47 😂😂😂😂

@@tgdscra5 Danke dir 😊🙌 Ich glaube aber der Lago M. ist nicht so windsicher…
@@BenBeholzVlogs befürchte ich auch...
Zudem kite ich nur noch zu 100% mit Foil da mein rechtes Knie kaputt ist. Weniger Wind für mich gut...
that's butter smooth water.... so lucky my local spots are never this smooth. what's the least amount of wind you kite in ?
Mine aren’t as well 😌 It was about 14 kts and I was on my 15m Gts. I was slightely underpowered…
Vorspann... sieht so leichtgängig und easy aus... würde ich auch gerne können.
Danke dir ! Das kannst du beteits, du musst es nur freischalten… 🙌
Viel fahren hilft viel 😋 Nur die nötige Zeit sollte man haben … 🤔
Nice front rolls Ben!
Thank you buddy !
Smoothes Intro :) Nice!
Thank you 😊🙌
I have the same board and its just f*cking amazing!! ^^
Hppy you like it aswell 😊🤘
Sweet video man! What is the difference in fins size?
Thank you !
The 42mm fins have less grip than the 48mm fins and are more playfull to ride. The 48mm fina go better upwind…
How does it compare to the choice 4 ?

I woule recommend the Fusion as you already have a choice and aswell as you need it for strong winds and bigairs. To me that’s what the Fusion 5 is made for…
@@BenBeholzVlogs have you tried with the new handle that flattens the rocker ? If so does it actually make a difference ?
@@vikingh3008 I have it on two of my Carved Imperator 7s. It doesn't do much for my LW board as it's low rocker already. But on the 137 it really makes an appreciable difference. It becomes an upwind rocket.
@@j.b.7525 ok thanks, you notice any difference when loading for a big boost ?

Do you recommend getting the Revo handle? I just got the 137cm and weght about 78 kilos. Thanks
I would try it if I was you. Than decide… any chance to try ?
@@BenBeholzVlogsI live in the USA. There is no kite shop near me. So most of the time I need to buy first and try later. I am looking to get smaller fins 42mm. Do you if le length no the eight makes a difference? Thanks
That's because for $50 I can get north fins but they are longer in length and the core fins are $100.
Ben I need some help choosing a size. I weigh 82Kg and ride C-kites in lighter winds. 11m in 14-17 kts and a 9m above 16kts. What size would you get? My dealer only has a 137 and a 141. I wanted the 139 but not available. Do you think the 141 would be too big? Your thoughts much appreciated.
Hey bro,
to be honest I would go for the 139. Can‘t he order it for you ?
@@BenBeholzVlogs Thanks Ben. Yes he probably can. Will just take some time. Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.
Hi Ben, thinking to get one of these but can't decide on the right size: 139 or 137? Is it noticable difference? I have 82 kg and riding usualy xr 12sqm and 9 sqm on stronger conditions. Thanks
P.s. Keep on great work🤙
Hey, there is a difference but I think both would work for you. I you prefer it slightly more playfull take the 137…
I prefer the 139 with 85kg
@@BenBeholzVlogs Thanks a lot! Keep on shredding🤙👍
I have zwo of this…. In 141x42 and LW 154x46. Both with 48mm fins …. feels easier to me to go up wind …. and I am not a pro rider. I only will have fun and enjoy the day.
Haha 😆 I love this: „I have zwo of this“ 🤘😂
I absolutely agree to your board setup. The big one is a lightwind beast. What‘s your weight ?
@@BenBeholzVlogs wheigt is too much. I ride the smaller board on the German & Denmarks coasts. The LW is for my local home spot - lake „Steinhuder Meer“.

137 or 139 in lenght is better for the kite you do ?
I prefer 139 but it depends a little to you size and weight…

What's most impressive is my man is drives a stick!!
Welche Größe bei 82kg würdest du empfehlen und warum?
Ich würde dir 139 empfehlen. Ich wiege 86kg und fahre 139. Falls du lieber klein fährst geht auch 137.

I know 🙈 I hope to get more on the water with my wingfoil soon…
That soundtrack is just too much, had to mute but I have to say - your kiteboarding is something else. Wow!
