My name is Alejandro Liendo and I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina.I meet Mathias Roten in prePWC in Tucuman Argentina but I didn`t know he was Speedflying. I missthe oportunity to ask him for details!!!!Anyway, someone has a picture of the harness and/or the trim system?, I wonder how they are.About colours, you can choose any of the 4 colors for each size or each size has his own colour?Our Ski season here in South America is on July -August, hope I can hear some comments fromeuropean pilots that are now doing experiences.

Hola Nicolas:
Yo tengo planificado solo 3 semanas en Bariloche por lo cual prefiero ir a algo ya probado. Me estoy comprando un NANO 14 m2. Por otro lado es un deporte nuevo y va a llevar un tiempo optimizar la vela para este deporte, prefiero seguir la evolucion natural.Cualquier cosa chifla!!

I'm planning only 3 weeks in Bariloche (Patagonia) so I prefer something known . I'm buying a NANO 14 m2. By the way this is a new sport, and it will take some time until the wing is optimized. I prefer to follow the natural evolution.

Yes it is possible

Yes it is possible see
Kite-Running Video

Not sure how easy or difficult it is to do, as not all kites are suitable. I guess would need to be a minimum of 10.0m² in area or around 1.3 lbs/ft² (6.5 Kg/m²) wing loading.

I have already emailed the guy who is in the video but not yet had a reply.

Hello Ale. Nice to have you on my site.
 
At the moment there is just one colour each sice. On www.gingliders.com you will see themes under speed-flying. The way you can trim the wing is 4cm in each way which will give you the possibility to accelerate or break the wing about 10km/h on both sides. The harness is the same like the yeti harness but with buckles for the legstraps and the back pack placed further up.
 
cheers
Mathias
