I would go towards the Pace or ideally the Pace SLS for pump foiling. This board has a bit more flex that what you'd be after for this. Keep your eyes peeled in the coming few weeks, there's something else on the way that you might like ;)

We have some fantastic deals on that will make the Red far more attractive again if you're interested ;)

Yes, the team is leaving in a few days!

That's an excellent question... very happy to be flown over as a personal carrier ;) haha. If you email shop@kiterepublic.com.au we're happy to have a look at options, outside of this you may have to hit Scotty up at Smik. Good luck, they're a great wing!!!

Sorry this was missed. I think you'll be happy with both for kiting however in my mind the Vyper has a few features that make it my preference on the kite. For kiting due to the considerate power you have on tap the glide isn't such a big deal. Both are great here however I love the Vyper 130 under a kite ;)

So true... yell out, have one you can try ;)

Glide 220 for more low end and glide. Speed 180 for optimum all round performance. 140 for pro level dialled in gear 😉 video very close. You’ll see shortly if you’re subscribed to channel 🤙

Thanks Robadair... appreciate any constructive feedback ;)

Agree

Don't believe this is the case... @armstrongfoils can you shed any light?

Try the 680 & 780 and decide if you're after pushing the envelope (as the 925 did) or you're content with better turning but a little more lift and consistency of the 780. Good luck! If you're around Melbourne hit us up and grab a demo ;)

Hey Jedro... is this for prone, winging, what style of riding and conditions etc.? I would suggest for similar efficiency but more glide and rest that the 680-780 will likely be the space, however give me some more info and I'll give you my thoughts. If you're in oz feel free to call the shop and happy to chat ;) Chris

What a legend hey. Loved some really good chats with him over the past few days. P.s. Love your youtube name... yewwww

Thanks man👍, and props to YOU also for firing the right questions at Aidan. Such a good interview…

Perfect if you're no on a plane ;) Love your work and respect your stoke!!!!

High end speed on a wing it has a place. It has that raw, hold on to your hat ability that some people love and foil for. Outside of this I'd suggest the Progression is a no brainer ;) Both great wings!

Thanks, that spot is BGK @Barra Grande :)

Correct... the buzz definitely didn't help me there. Thankyou for your clarification. Indeed I'm talking about low stall speed, being able to rest and sit at low speed. If you're after the 'less buzzed' version and a full rundown make sure you checkout ruclips.net/video/Se1tKI4Y-ZY/видео.htmlsi=X-TcoMr2UTaIIOS-

Love your work Alfie. Look forward to seeing you ripping out there soon. Make sure you talk the girls into teaching you to kite soon!

I'm glad you commented. I've bought a couple of boards and wings based on content creators recommendations and were totally not what they claimed.

Thankyou for your feedback Galagona. I respect your opinion and based on lots of customer feedback as well as testing of a large amount of boards I don't agree, however the beauty of our sports and our many options is that everyone can look for exactly what suits them and strive for 'their version of perfection'. I hope you continue to share the stoke around your beaches and make the most of every opportunity to get out there and enjoy your watertime. Thankyou for getting in touch :)

Sorry to hear that this has happened to you @gary. The beauty of feedback and opinion is they can help guide you in the right direction. I hope everyone shares the same stoke that we do, where if customers touch base with us directly we can work towards exactly what suits them and what they are striving to achieve. Unfortunately it's very difficult to personalize a video too much without this information. Hope you're loving your watertime mate, always happy to touch base and help in any way we can (whether you're purchasing from us or not :) Hope to hear from you soon.

Agree With You ! Really Not Good Shape and not so easy and nice board.

Thanks Craig. Hope you’re loving the Progressions 🙌

Hi derfd… thanks for watching the video. Not entirely sure of the point you’re trying to make 🤷 but the feedback from the Traverse has been fantastic across multiple years. Agree it’s very exciting that riders of the caliber, talent and background of Ewan can perfect their trades over many years and take the next step into positions such as Head Kite Designer for Naish. Make sure you try the new Pivot 2024, Ewan’s first official release on the kite side of things, and again outstanding feedback to date. If you have any videos or reviews that you’d like feedback on feel free to get in touch and we’d be happy to have a look. Best of luck for the season ahead, hope you get plenty of watertime.

@@KiteRepublicAustralia Well, I guess it just doesn´t sound as if he was convinced himself that he really designed it. Which is totalyl fine. Michael Jordan most probably also did not design the shoes named after him...

@@derfdeswoasein hope you get a chance to ride, great feedback all round. Yes if you know Ewan he’s definitely thought out and never wanting to take the limelight off those around him or take full credit for anything shared. Haha, interesting read on that one 😉 hope you enjoy your kiting derf and enjoy the board if you end up on one 👍

It’s fantastic to see such a wide variety of riders and brands pushing the sport at the very pointiest of levels. We’re in such a great space right now when it comes to wing foiling and the varying disciplines and riders of different backgrounds and sports coming through. Hopefully you’re managing to get out there on the water a bit and if you ever get the chance to write or video a review specifying the differences and your perceptions of these wings back to back were always interested to hear and hopefully learn from passionate people around the world like yourself. The feedback and testing we’ve had and done in the unit dlab 2024 has shown nothing but exceptional results, I’m sure if you’ve riddde. It you’ll agree as far as wings go it’s an amazing option for many people out there. Thanks again for your passion and for watching our review 👍

The 10'6 ride is definitely more fun in the waves. It's got a bit more rocker and turns a lot better. The 11'3 will definitely catch anything from bay chop through to waves, however when you're on the wave you'll need to move a lot further back and even then won't have the same liveliness as the 10'6 Ride for example. For really small stuff you'll still have a lot of fun catching bumps on the 11'3 though.

@@KiteRepublicAustralia I have owned the 10'6" Ride for awhile now. But my wife is suggesting I look at the 11'3" Sport so that I can also help carry our soon to be 4 yo. Given her size Im not sure it will be doable on the Ride.

@@Broughden the 11'3 sport will give you a bit more glide and easier distance with your little one on the front, however both boards will allow you to paddle with a 4yo on them. I'm 85kg, I can comfortably paddle a 10'6 ride with my 6 & 8yo both on the board. We are more like a tug boat in terms of glide but very doable if your balance is ok. With one of them on there we catch little waves, can pivot turn the board and play around some more. If you're aiming to paddle with your wife (on her own board) then the 11'3 glide (& your little one on it) will definitely help you keep up with her on the 10'6 and you'll have more even paddles than if you're just adding a little one to the front of your 10'6 next to her. Both are 32" wide and have comfortable stability for this. Hope this helps :)

Sorry I missed this Ozii... I believe it was a 152.

Yesssss!

Hi Lewis, are you by any chance based in or around Melbourne? We can try to get you on a couple of boards for sizing and your confidence. If not the best chat would be around what you're coming off, what level you're at, and what conditions you're looking to improve and be in most regularly. If you'd like to give us a call at the shop on (03) 9537 0644 or drop us a line on shop@kiterepublic.com.au and mention this chat we would be happy to go into it more and make sure you end up on exactly what you're looking for :)

I'm 77 kg, 57YO.Winging for 3 years. I have the 95lt and love it, versatile and great for light wing. Easy take off. Now I'm getting better and want to go down to 75lt. SLS. or wait for new Armstrong. I will keep the 95lt for sure. Having sat that, in retrospective one year ago I would bough the 85lt, great sweet spot. I have used the Naish 85lt and love it once I'm foiling but is a bit sticky for take off.

@@juanymime got to love the great gear and bit stepups we're seeing in the foiling game. The new SLS is pretty damn hard to beat. Hope you have a ball out there and love your time on the water!

@@juanymime great to hear your comment. I believe you're ahead of me. Just ordered the sky free sls 2024. Hope I did right as a keeper. Thanks budy!

I think you'll be happy @@lewiss66... let us know how you go ;)

Will see if I can get a weight chart for the range.

Weight of the board in 105 lt and sls version

@@vincenzo192 only about 300grams.. (6.97kg vs 7.26kg). I'd suggest the carbon/stiffness/ride would be the more important difference.

Too much weight 😢
