Hi AJ, Taper -

What was the total line length?

So would my VII 13 on longer lines have the same amount or great power than my VII 19 on standard lines??

I also wonder if my 19 on longer lines would let me park and ride in 12mph?? I'm 218lbs without wetsuit, vest, gear, etc.

Quote:

AJ was out kiteboarding on a set of long lines with a 12M Phantom. I passed my 16M Scorpion to him on standard length lines and he could barely get of the water.

I like both, fly LEI both c and bow.really just discovering the foils. foils are less hassel, fly in greater wind range . always can find a rig to fit the need and conditions. on to the fun part. water, land, whatever.

yea i would have to agree that foils are getting better. but i feel that lei c kites have their place. most like every other kite design. no kite is perfect for every condition thats why we all have quivers. no kite is ever going to do it all. so yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :singing:
