Tech Talk: Kimo Verker from Holland on the new V1 Machine and RPX
So the duotone bar doesnt like other kites, but using for example a core bar on a duotone kite is okay?
It's the other way round, as he says. Duotone kites traditionally* need bars with a very high Y, which you only get from Duotone or by getting a distributor thingy and mounting it on other bars to force a high Y. But it's even more annoying. Duotone changes Y height quite frequently, and line attachments and different kite sizes also have an impact, so for your kite to perform optimally, you may have to tune Y height. Or just go with whatever your setup gives you and live with minor suboptimality. * It seems that as of 2024 some of the Duotone kites now want low Ys, though I am not 100% sure about that.
@yxx_chris_xxy ah okay, a friend is selling an older duo kite and I didn't want to buy it if my core bar wouldn't work great with it
Is the 4.4 good enough for low winds 12-16mph and a 6’1” male? I’m looking for an option on windy days on the lake, and we don’t usually have big winds. Experience with regular SUPs.
What pressure do you inflate these boards to?
I’ve just ordered the North Orbit kite. Can I use the control bar from either Slingshot or Airush?
Apparently its 150 pulls. This guy is quoting specs for the re winch. Take this down asap.
Thanks for the video - is the Swing wingspan (eg in the 4m you showed) less in the new Swing Vs Strike??
Yea buy a new bar if it‘s dirty... best to throw the old one directly into the ocean.. like wtf man the only thing that needs to be replaced every few years are the lines the rest is fine. (The North bar you showed is probably perfectly fine)
No hate btw but I really don‘t understand why so many people replace their bar with a new (probably same but different colored) bar... those bars have nearly not changed in the last years (seatbelt chickenloop excluded)
black wing is badass, but I have the new graphics
Great to see the new range, thanks heaps. Spending 90% of my time in the waves these days so looks like time to move from strike to swing
I love my swings in the waves and actually prefer v2. It’ll be fun to see how the v4 rides
After two months of use the boom broke. It broke down due to poor quality boom material and complete ignorance of the engineers.
For the seven seas wing of 1000 with the 250 stabilizer, but which fuselage would you use for that set up? The xxxs? I’m looking at for up wind
I paid retail for this board. I can get up foiling in 8 mph with an Infinity 84 front wing and love using to foil. With a regular fin, it will work as a slalom board if the mast track is far enough forward. At $749, it's a steal. Only two downsides: 1. no track, so deep tuttle only. 2. mast track is hard to use as the bolt does not fit through the track. I use a 2-bolt base so I can just drop my base in.
Do you guys do shipments outside of the US? To Europe, to be exact.
Nice video!! Do you know if a North Rebel 2016 (with 5th line) can be properly used with a North wake style bar?
Hi! What's the weight of the wheleled one at 175 cm length please?
Weird that no one mentions the weight. I have a smaller wheeled Mystic 150 and would change to fit surfs and kites, but weight matters.
Eiiii
how can I contact
😢😢😢😢
Im looking to get away from wadders for fishing, 1 they can actually become very dangerous is you fall in fast moving water and 2 they just dont last. Ive been looking at wet suits and socks for some time now. I fish north arkansas up to Colorado in the winter. What would be a good suit for staying in water when its 20-40 degree outside. Not fully submerged, in from knees tk waits and somtime have to walk through chest high water.
Awesome! I have a core bar & just got a north reach. It's good to hear the core bar is generally gtg for most kites 🤙
Got the same! Also have several cabrinha kite's and bar, gonna try swapping them out with the core and north and see if I feel a difference
What size is the rear fin?
I got a Fly wing harness and love it! Thanks guys!
Awesome
Hi, do you know about lift in connection with aspect ratio? The lower the AR the bigger the surface you must have to get the same lift? 🤙
Bring back the north logo on that board
great video guys! Would there be lot's of difference noticable as a beginner between the carbon and non-carbon version looking at performance? As a beginner a slightly heavier board might give a bit more stability I would think...
The newer Duotone click bars can be set in high v or low v. Undo the distributor and it converts to low v in seconds. Simple but effective
Hi Is the bag big enough to back board and foil too ? And paded enough to fly with ? Thanks d'avance
Cabrinha is low Y.
Wind is always funky in the pond, send these guys up to the Hatch for big air lol. Nice work boys!
Hi kitesurfing to mombasa Kenya
How to buy😢
I am 175lbs and intermediate. What size would you recommend?
I would recommend the 7' 109L. A great blend of control, speed, and not too big not too small. Seems everyone demoing the one we have in stock love the size for a do it all board! Great wing foil too if you do that!
What foils are you using with these? Eagle 1290?
we were using the 1400 Seven Seas for newbs and light wind and Riding was done on the 1090 Eagle with 75cm HM Carbon mast.
When paddeling - Anything past your Hip is a 'Waist' :)
work on volume levels
probably some mic issue one wasnt on.
one of the mics bugged out on us. Sorry!
The machine more floaty and the xr more pivotey and turns faster???!! Wtf am i hearing haha, i cannot take this guy seriously
Both great kites. Machine has nice loft but no turning. The XR has great loft too but has more steering response. Give the kids a break we are just having a great time and sharing our feedback...
Great video! Thx! What is the spot?
We are riding at the Marina in Hood River, Or. USA. It has the location of kickers and features for freestyle park action and good flat water spot. Thanks for sharing the stoke! Cheers
Johnny knoxville testing kites🤗👌
Great review Shey.
Thanks for the shout! :)
20 to 30 not really a great test for the orbit 8 meter
Awesome video! Thank you
Glad you liked it! Thanks for sharing the stoke. Cheers, from Hood River, OR!
gotta chip in that these guys are light , having a 1600+ foil is better for med size people and 1800+ for aprox 80kg plus , i started on a bus of a 2400cm2 to learn to glide and no regrets there
Cool video! Did you manage to loop the machine and the xr as well? How do they compare in the loop? Which one catches quicker/easier?
We did manage to loop the Machine, but it's slower in the loop but pulls you out further so you just have to send it a little bigger or maybe a larger bar would help. It was on a 17" so maybe the 20" would make it loop quicker but still probably not as fast as the XR8. XR catches the best but the Machine does well. You just have to dial it in a little for the rider.
Could explain a bit more about where you do the knot and why?
keep the water bag in place. Or it will let the water out because the attachment loops will slide to one side or the other not hold water to hold the wing down.. Just put an overhand knot at the point were the line connects to the water bag.
I've been visiting Windance in Hood River for years, love this place and this video, enjoy! Sam in Portland!
Thanks for sharing the stoke, hope to see you soon in Hood River! Been a great summer so far :)
Thanks for your video. What makes the strike à better wing?
Not better wing just meant for different uses and people. Strike is a Freestyle, Lose and slippery like most advance riders like in extreme conditions. More nibble for 1480's... Faster upwind due to the nature of the wing but still just cutting hairs in half when it comes to which one performs better for the rider. If you're not jumping and spinning like a rocket I would go with the Swing.
Nice info, but quit all the fraction cutting while showing the wing. It seems like you don´t wanna show how the wing behaves...
Thanks for the feedback will get more riding with drone next time. I have a 2 person media team and limted time for videos so it can be hard to get everything in the video for you guys. We will try our best next time, thanks for watching.
Robby is the man, off and on the water!
Sweet video! Thanks for sharing.
