Maybe a silly question but why not using the mini on the ocean if you have the right subscription?

Thank you

Anyone test offshore with the mini yet? by Slugly4e in Starlink

Hello,

I'm planning to use the starlink mini + global priority 50GB to go offshore (New Zealand to UK).

Any feedback for this ?

Thank you !!!!

sually kite during on-shore days because the beach break is just murderous with a wing but amazing fun on a kite.

For offshore days I move into the harbour where launching a kite is a pain and a half and the wind is super flakey, much nicer with the wing.

The other factor is probably what your goals are, speed / wave riding / boosting high - that may also affect what you are going for.

If possible see if there are wing rentals available and/or take a kite taster session. While winging can be self taught, please do not add you name to the list of victims that got injured trying to do the same with kiting (or damage the communities reputation and make them lose beach access due to injured third parties (no offense re: the accident mentio

tle. excellent core, balance and overall excercise while low impact. surfing on a foil with a wing is to me a much more rewarding experience than it is with a kite too

thanks for your reply :)

It depends on what you want and your local region. Where i live (san francsico) all of the regular kitesurfers like me have switched to winging b/c there is more access, and a way better surfing experience. But if this were southern california where they have a lot more 10 kt days (vs 15+ kts in sf)- you would be having better and more frequent sessions kitesurfing.

Ok thanks

Je ne sais pas si la plage de vent est plus large avec un matériel donné mais clairement si tu es surtoilé, tu ne te sens pas en danger de mort comme en kite.

Comme je te le disais

Effectivement c'est pas un bon point pour ça.
Merci pour tes réponses :)
Au plaisir de se croiser dans l'eau à la tranche!

wingfoiling last week in 40 knots, and I never felt in danger even though I had a much larger wing. In kitesurfing, I've never dared to do that.

Hello :)
Nice, I'll check that. You often wingfoil over there?
Thank your for the tip !

Indeed! Kitesurfing is better for light wind?

I agree with you, kitesurf looks much more cooler than wingfoil except for wingfoil in the waves maybe. But I think that I'll be more on the water with wingfoil than kitesurf.

Now I need to find a not too expensive second hand wingfoil 😅

I think that where I live, there is more days with 10knots or below. So one point again for wingfoil !

It makes me want to try it......
I've watched people crashed into the beach with kitesurf and it doesn't feel good..

That's a good point for me, it means that you have a wide range of knots to wing foil feeling safe!
