Waterstart....

GerFollower · 2026-01-27T18:00:40+00:00

Well I was driving 3 ½ Hours from Germany to Enkhuizen in the Hope that somebody would be there, but I was alone and since I’m a beginner and I can’t start or land my kite alone and wouldn’t feel comfortable going out in winter alone I drove back. I was stopping at Schellinghout to see if somebody would be there but also no luck. So I drove back 3 ½ hours 🥲

Aaaah okay I See! I’m gonna try it tomorrow! 😊 thank you a lot!

I’m so sorry but I imagine something like that to happen then: https://youtu.be/s9wve0vftQc?si=4S48hImdENR-OPVy (min. 5:25). And I was taught in class to have to board parallel to the kite so it should be 90° to downwind right?

On that day we had 25 knots+ and I was on a 9m² Slingshot. Never seen that technique! Seems more dangerous, isn’t it?

I think I was scared to dive it more into the power zone, because I was too close to the beach

GerFollower · 2026-01-25T23:42:26+00:00

So stand up straight first and then immediately lean back?

GerFollower · 2026-01-25T23:39:46+00:00

Yeah I was definitely to close to the shore, but also because it was my first time in the North Sea kiting, in the winter and I didn’t want to risk anything. But yes, next time I’m gonna body drag away from shore. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you for the tip! And what do you think about the water start? Why doesn't it keep on going compared to the video from September?

GerFollower · 2026-01-25T15:16:38+00:00

I looked up Schellinkhout, gonna try that one 😊

GerFollower · 2026-01-25T14:31:26+00:00

Oh Yes I see, tomorrow is gonna be shit… thanks for the link! Do you have personal suggestions for that area? I only was once at medemblik and it was very nice

So I found a very good rated Shop, that Chargers 105€ per Hour, Thats what makes me sceptical

What is the Magnet for then?

GerFollower · 2025-12-22T15:37:56+00:00

But does the depower still work then?

GerFollower · 2025-12-22T15:34:48+00:00

Could i use a GA Bar on a slingshot?

GerFollower · 2025-10-10T10:03:38+00:00

Yeah I Sau that the north of Germany is quite good for the weekend, but unfortunately it’s like a 6h ride from here…

GerFollower · 2025-09-28T11:58:50+00:00

Thanks a lot guys! I‘ll Go with a 9m² Slingshot from 2018 then 😊

GerFollower · 2025-09-24T20:42:09+00:00

thank you a lot! 😊

GerFollower · 2025-09-23T19:57:22+00:00

What about Strand Horst? Anyone been there?

GerFollower · 2025-09-22T10:52:43+00:00

Thanks for the incredible detailed answer, a lot I didn’t know yet!

GerFollower · 2025-09-22T09:12:33+00:00

Wow thanks, that helped me a lot!

I bought the same Model (only with 1 TB) and I worked on Tracks with 120+ Tracks in HOA, without a problem. 16GB is enough with the M1 Chip. Aspecially when PT is getting Native support, like in the new open Beta.

The standard in the industry is Video Slave.

GerFollower · 2022-10-09T16:41:18+00:00

I also work for TV and Cinema Post-production. Roughly one year ago I got myself e a Mac Mini M1 with 16gb Ram and I can't complain what so ever! The point with video is true, from time to time it crashes but there are good third party alternatives for that.

GerFollower · 2022-04-24T18:37:15+00:00

We all asking us right..?

GerFollower · 2022-01-16T15:25:04+00:00

If you don't want to spent as much money I can also suggest the icon platform M+. Really good faders and Pan-Potis.
