"the max speed of the kite was 106 mph."

Briefly, for a distance of perhaps 15 feet across an arc and 30 meters away, it might be reasonable ... depending on the sample frequency and error. But remember though Noahpz, it's a GPS looking at distance, not a wind meter.

Re: many questions....

Why doesn’t anybody mention the Samurai 2 I just bought the Samurai 2 (6m). I wish I bought a de-power kite but I probably better learn on this first. Can you convert a 4 line control bar kite to a de-power? Any other pointers for a new guy, like kiting upwind? Quite a list Moxie ....

what is the diffrence between a sheetable foil and a bridled foil? I am going to over simplify this to get at the main point. Imagine your kite is like a flat piece of notebook paper with a line dangling down from each corner. On a fixed bridle foil, the two lines on one side are tied together and ...

I have cut the safety line off and moved the stopper and ring up above the bar. Now it hangs as an easy to reach o-shit handle just underneath the trim-strap. If i need to self-land I just grab hold/clip leash to the stopper and let the bar go while still in the water. While floating in I wind the ...

How would you say the 10m performed last year as opposed to this years 10m Access 2 as far as loading up and popping your board or skiis? Did you like the forward speed and if so high high were you able to jump with it being a "tame" version of the Frenzy? Also, a 4m sounds kind of small, but certa...

I certainly experienced the rollup effect once or twice on my 4...but not even once with my 6. I think you should try to shorten the back lines a little bit. (Easy to add an extra knot or two at the bar end...and better to start with before you try to modify the bridle setup...wich should be ok fro...

My experience with the Access-2 in three lully outings has been that it doesn't like lully wind. I am hoping that the problem is me, but until I figure it out, I am hanging on to the the Access-1 10.0 and wishing I hadn't sold the others. flew the Access2 4.0 and 6.0....in a huge span of wind...fro...

out of the access 2, manta, and 07 frenzy which kite can best handle really gusty and lully wind. thx Probably Access2... Fesen, the "probably" in your note suggests that you may not have had a chance to fly the Access-2 in lully wind. My experience with the Access-2 in three lully outings has been...
