l'aile était un proto de Benoit Tremblay, je ne m'en sers plus elle traine dans le garage. Il y a quelques réparations internes à faire, rien de méchant, les bridages de 5 ième ligne sont enlevés mais possibilité de les remettre.

Hi -how old is the kite please and how well did she fly?

thanks

Je ne sais pas de quelle année elle est, je l’ai acheté à Benoît en 2017.
Elle fonctionne comme une Smart. Très peu de traction en pleine fenêtre, bon drift, etc. Mais grosse présence en barre et fonctionne bien avec une barre de 65cm.

So this is an early version of the Wave (i have a 4.5)?

Hi Steve,

This is not exactly a previous version, more of the previous generation of the wave: the water smart.

When I started to interact with Benoît (around 8 years ago)he had on his shelve a closed cells prototype of his well know open cells smart. He then worked more on developing a series of closed cells smart that he called the water smarts. This 10.5 is one of the latest he made I think before producing the Wave. In between, he did the Pulsion. I never tried this 10.5, I only had the 6.5 and the 4.5 in the water smart series. They have the core characteristics of the wave but they are less fine tuned (less stable, less depower, less internal pressure as far as I remember).

Stef

Merci Stef, bien résumé...
Il ne faut pas s’attendre à une wave, mais pour m’en être servie en surfkite elle remplie le job en vague pour un caisson.
Par contre le cap n’est pas son point fort.

thank you for the info Stef and Mateole - i think it might be a good project for me to increase my knowledge in the dark art of the foil kite?

i have good experience of the sewing machine - I have replaced ribs in my Wave - what are the repairs required?

Would you be happy to post to Cornwall England Mateole?

thanks

Cornwall !

Very nice places to kite there ... I remember a big day in Watergate Bay some years ago ... Gorgeous !

Thanks vinzbe - but Brittany is so much better! Cornwall is like a low budget Finisterre, but without the food and culture
