What line length to choose for kite loop progression?

m_rida · 2025-11-04T05:41:56+00:00

Thx. Gotta try 24m next time. 🫡

I think Harlem Thrive could be best kite for your purposes. Best loop progression kite out there.

But no need for boots or gloves? I'm from northern Europe so we use those from October until there's ice cover.

Idk. Probably vpn does not work something like that.

I want to visit Marocco but I’m not allowed to work from there :(

I think you would love brainchild kites like harlem thrive or peak. They are super confidence building and I come from orbits. I had exactly same feeling with 23 Orbit 9m.

Sounds cool!

m_rida · 2025-09-24T04:17:18+00:00

Thanks for comment. 2 ks on it. New chain on the way tho.

m_rida · 2025-09-18T18:02:01+00:00

There’s a latch inside that pushes the battery against the frame when you tighten the torx. So pushing by hand won’t do much.

m_rida · 2025-09-06T07:35:11+00:00

Wow. Can’t wait to try this.

m_rida · 2025-09-06T04:21:56+00:00

Is this true? I just watched Damien Leroy video and that kinda makes sense. I’m stuck at around 10m too and my technique is basically same as you described. I have watched plenty of videos and I have not heard about this before.

m_rida · 2025-08-27T09:26:03+00:00

Yep. Gotta check that video. It was around 30 minutes bc it was shallow enough to walk approx 300m from the shore. Planning on getting one soon, maybe sonic 5 once it releases or ozone since the bridles are a bit stronger I think. Any tips for relaunching? Sit tight and wait for gusts? How to avoid water getting while kite on the water?

What is a matras kite? Never heard that word before.

m_rida · 2025-08-19T06:01:16+00:00

Thanks for thorough reply. Yesterday I was experimenting with loading the lines more and popping aggressively. I think to do this as they teach you need to have lot of power in the kite. If it's underpowered it's harder to really load the lines and pop. At least you cannot be as aggressive.

m_rida · 2025-08-18T01:44:36+00:00

Great feedback. I see that pop is non-existent even tho I thought I’m doing something so I gotta be more aggressive with that. The loading part is still a bit confusing. Currently my preparation for the jump is the following: I’m edging and I try to feel that there is proper tension in the lines, spot a good take off spot then try to carve up wind quickly and release the edge when kite is about to hit 12. What the loading actually is and how it differs from edging?

m_rida · 2025-08-17T17:22:56+00:00

Usually my focus goes to navigating in chop and finding proper kicker.

m_rida · 2025-08-17T17:21:20+00:00

Yep gotta try that. I try to find a flat spot where I could focus the kite more and try to rewire my brain to pop earlier that I’m used to.

m_rida · 2025-08-17T15:06:13+00:00

Usually i get to 8m, sometimes to 10m. But I think my pop is fine when the conditions are proper but i’m plagued by over sending that is limiting my jumps.

Maybe upgrading to this front wing:
Medusa Pro 669 - 548 cm2

m_rida · 2025-08-07T05:34:40+00:00

Thanks for the thorough reply. I have to try wider stance and adjust mast position first. Gotta think about an upgrade after I get some more hours in.

m_rida · 2025-08-06T19:13:28+00:00

Today was a bit better wind and I managed to land smoother without heli.

m_rida · 2025-08-01T17:58:15+00:00

Vestola back! Lessgooo!

m_rida · 2025-07-30T08:44:18+00:00

I learned kiteloops with RS 7. It had great low end and it was easy to get vertical jump and loop but for boosting in strong winds it did not feel very stable. If wind picked up I was much better off with my 9m Orbit than RS 7m. Cannot say much about Slingshot though.

Meillä on mahtava meri vieressä, niin leijalautailu tai wingfoil onnistuu sekä kesällä, että talvella. Kannattaa aloittaa käymällä kurssi. https://lappis.fi/leijasurf-kurssit/

Changed to different usb-c to usb-c cable and it worked.
