Arc in the water
Was out kiteboarding last week on a 10M Scorpion, and finally crashed a ARC in the water. I held onto the bar when I knew I was gonna wipe out, so
it was not waiting in the sky for me when I surfaced. Tugged one corner, it straightened out.. pulled the center lines and the tip caught wind....
it just had to do "the clap" in the sky for a few while the water drained... and away I went. First time to crash one in the water... and really was
no big deal to relaunch.
What do you do with your foils?
Charger 8, 12, 19
Scorpion 10, 16
And other foils...
Flexifoil Bug, CrazyFly board, MBS atb

Cool! That's impressive, especially since Scorpions are not designed for water re-launching. Nice job

Mood: low winds here I come
|

very nice!!!! I've actually found my scorpion in the water a few times. A little trickier if the winds aren't as strong. Other than that I've had not
too many issues. The 16 really is a slug though when it comes out of the water. Giving it a minute to rid itself of water really is a must for me at
least.
what I fly/ride:
19m Flysurfer Speed 2 SA
12m Flysurfer Speed2
6m Ozone access xt
1.5m Ozone imp trainer
144cm Airush Switch
152cm lib tech skate banana
MBS Pro 90
Jereme Leafe Pro 95

I've dropped the Syn19 on the water a few times, mostly cos of turning too low and dragging a wing tip. No problems with relaunch and I was in surf at
the time - the kite just floated over the waves. Put the Syn15 LE down onto the water once, but it bounced enough to catch the wind and head straight
back up to the zenith. Great kites
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
