oj oj oj!! LF 2010!
-
The Flexifoil kites (incl the Hadlow Pro) and a few of the North ones didnt have a center strut this year and so far haven’t heard anything about loss of power, on the contrary, the kites I’ve tried without center strut has much more grunt to them compared to other similar size kites but what will happen over the course of a season, who knows. I did find the Rebel without a center strut a bit harder to relaunch (when not using the 5th line) because of the fact that it would fold in the center in a wierd way.

ser gott ut!
gillar bommen, lite många linor i mitten bara men så ska det ju visst va nuförtiden av nån anledning.När landar dom så man kan testköra?

rätt glad att man kör LF!!! über feta grejor!!!

yeah but they were new kites, I was just thinking theroetically in future…. lets simplify it.. do big panels exposed to stress stretch more than smaller panels?

Bara om de har samma belastning, är i samma material och har exakt likadana/lika många förstärkningar.

ok so do you think that a strut in the middle of the kite would be less stretchy than one without a strut in the middle of the kite?

damn!
jag beställer en influence 142 och synergie CT!
sen blir det nog hificomp till det…
mmm.

Thomas Alsbirk förklarar lite om de 3 wakestylebrädorna Kaos, Influence och Concept på scoopen:
”well, I might get killed for revealing to much this early (don’t expect the new boards in your shop until late fall or early winter, seriously!) but since I have been involved with developing both the KAOS and the Concept DLX I can give you a few pointers.
….and by the way I’m one of those you don’t want to get started since I will kook out on the tech side haha!
you can get both models with a grind base and a softer flex!
The KAOS has wider tips and a flatter rocker than the DLX, The bottom contours (double to quad concave) on the KAOS are a little less pronounced and without the 4 rails channeling out towards the tips. The concaves gives lift (less drag) and breaks the water on impact and gives directional stabilization on the KAOS, but the more marked DLX channeling out from a double to quad -> 4 rails gives even more hold, allows for even harder landings etc.
The KAOS works really well as a wakestyle board in conditions where you sometimes lack power (yes, we are some that don’t have tradewinds), the flatter rocker, more square outline and concave bottom layout will get you going faster with less power, enabling that you feel powered up very fast even in light conditions. Still the board is easy to control also when fully lit and it sits high in the water thanks to the concaves so it does not grab chop and throw water in your face. Somehow you can say this board is a hybrid between a modern freestyleboard and a modern wakestyleboard. Strappy guys loves this board also, but I believe it will trick them into trying to mount a pair of bindings also
INFLUENCE sits somewhere inbetween the two, you know that board well with the single to double….has some new added features though
DLX has more rocker and a heavier channeling as mentioned, rides even better finless and it the more core wakestyle board for sure. This board is made to suit Mauricio’s riding and what most scoop guys want in a board (yes I spend a lot of time in here). It will demand a little more power from the kite compared to KAOS but the payback is that you can go harder and more powerful – The flex will not be to soft so it will not overflex in really hard landings (making the board stick to much so U feel like you are about to trip forward). The channeling breaks the water instead and this plus the medium flex allows you to keep momentum and full speed throughout the landing. Riding this board finless is insane, you’ ll never think of riding fins again, the quad channeling has plenty of grip.
So, if you live on Maui and ride a lit 8 everyday, DLX is no doubt your best choice, if you live in an area where a semi powered 15 is your reality when you ride, the KAOS performs beyond anything else for wakestyle. Basicly both boards are sick just a little in each their direction!
I ride an earlier proto of the DLX at the moment and I’m loving it all the way, this board is my baby! The few guys who tried it all love that thing!
T
ps.regarding flex, please not that our new ”liquid rails” allows us to control the flex very accurately and since rail riders mostly like more flex for presses we decided to add flex to all board with grind base, so you will also have 2 flex choices in the KAOS, INFLUENCE (not to forget this baby) and DLX!”

första proton av Concept DLX!
Kanalerna ser så sweeeeeeet ut!!

Den brädan gillar jag riktigt skarpt! såg vi inte en sånn typ koncept bräda från var vad det? sydafrika? för många år sen. kom nog aldrig i produktion men fan vikken underbar ide tyckte vi redan då . . .
LiquidForce ahhh hmmm det tål och tänkas på :santa: hoppas vissa andra följer konceptet för man är juuh lite bunden :blush: märkesberoende :blush:
