Please don't buy a ram air.

Agree: That video is pretty lame. All those tricks and more can be done in light winds with a large inflatable, e.g. North Dyno.

Ram lovers love using lame anecdotal stories to support their arguments. But you've just got to look at the top 20 in Freestyle on the PKRA to realise that ram airs, like Flysurfer, are simply not competitive, including in light winds.

That's beautiful, and I appreciate the heartfelt advice from someone who really cares about me. A desperate narcissist can be entertaining (although it's actually a sad thing to see happen to a person).

Meanwhile, I would love to try the single skin Ozone paraglider prototype as a traction kite. If it behaved as well as one of those horrible, parasitic drag afflicted ram air kites I would be interested.

Nice job on the kites, Armin. Great work on the Speeds especially.

Boots or not...it is about having fun!

Why is it freestyle? I see handle passes, so it must be wakestyle!

If not, pls define wakestyle.

For me freestyle is a mix of styles...
