How important is the weight of a wing for its performance?
Since you often must hold the wing up high because the wind drops or before pumping, the weight is noticeable.
I think weight is crucial, especially in the waves and during maneuvers. A light wing drifts better and gets easily carried by the wind.
One of the frequently asked questions is, how important are viewing windows?
While freeriding, I rarely need them as taking care is often enough.
But viewing windows are very helpful, especially when racing or at a crowded spot.
I think that you are safe on the water with and without a viewing window. Without them, you should look under the wing or glimpse around the front tube.
Auch für kleinere und leichtere Fahrer gibt es so mehr Optionen die Windrange des Wings zu erhöhen.
Dank der guten Leistung des MOJOs kann ich in der Schulung am Brombachsee meist den Kunden eine kleine Größe in die Hand geben.
You attended a few competitions this year and last season. How was it for you not to compete against kiters?
There is so much fun in trying something new and competing against former windsurfers and surfers. I enjoy everything around it more.
It’s been going well, although I hadn’t trained much beforehand. Of course, I can take a lot of my kite competition experience with me. Preparation before a competition and adjusting every detail is mandatory to your success.
Pushing yourself and the gear to the limit is especially important for giving accurate feedback to wing designer Maxi Kuehnhauser. So I can see if there is still room for improvement and where the competition stands.
