So howcome all the dorks on dorkzone are claiming the speed 2 to still have the better lowend to a point of non-measureable difference before complete loss of interest.
Anyway some Speed 2 riders have found the low end to be a bit better on the Speed 2 some have forund it to be a bit better on the Speed 3. Some have found it to be about the same.
I have found it to be about the same, but I think that once I get to know the kite better it will be marginally better. What has substantially changed is how well the kite flys and turns. In particular how well you can survive below the usable low wind limit and make it back to the beach if the wind dies. The advantage of super light fabric with the weight evenly distibuted over the canopy.
Today I rode 2 and a half hours. Had the prime spot of Leo Carrillo to myself. Cruizing, jumping and riding the particularly nice surf today.
