Q8: Is it harder than a wing?
No, with V2 the lowkite is even simpler: no inflation, no pump, no touch-down issues. If you already foil with a wing, you’ll do your first reaches in your first lowkite session.
Q9: How long does it take to learn?
- If you already foil: 1 session to get going and come back.
- If you’re new to foil: count 8–10 sessions, same as with a wing.
Q10: Can I do the same tricks as with a wing?
Yes. With the Plus V2 and Neutra V2, riders are already doing frontflips, backflips, 720s, multiple rotations. The entire wing repertoire is being duplicated in lowkite.
Q11: Does it pump like a wing?
Not exactly. The lowkite has no inflated rigidity, but thanks to the V2 bridles and its bar, you can “load” the wing and get efficient pumping, especially in the low end.
Q12: Can you surf in freefly?
Yes. Like with a wing, the lowkite can be parked at zenith in neutral for free surfing. It remains auto-stable, which is perfect in waves.
Q13: Does it hold well in lulls?
Yes, almost as well as a wing. The V2s pass through wind holes with impressive stability.
Q14: Can you downwind only with a lowkite?
Yes, but it’s no longer its only use. The V2s now cover the entire spectrum of riding, not just downwind.
