Sounds like they are working on other new products as well but only time will tell when we get to see them.

I believe the Pulse 2 is due for an update, but if it still remains the pulse or they come out with a whole new model line remains to be seen.

If we do something, we will do it properly. The 21.0 is a product, we can stay 100% behind it. BTW. i was yesterday 5th at the PKRA-Worldcup in Germany at the Racing with it.
Gunnar was leading at the second race, but the Race director cancelled than as too many was struggeling with the low wind.

Thanks, Armin

Congratulations Armin.... 5th in the world cup!

Cancelling races becasue the wind is dropping and to many riders are having trouble is wrong...
Racing should in part be a proving ground for equipment. If even one kite can still go the race should continue. This way more development would go into real low wind kites.

Rumor has it that the next new kite will be something of a blend between the Pusle 2 and the Psycho 4 .

"The SPEED3 21.0m DELUXE has no backstall anymore - in addition, the performance has been significantly increased!"

What backstall? The Speed 2 and 3 are virtually impossible to backstall. In fact a little more backstall could help in waves and situations when you want to slow down the kite.

Anyway I'd like to try it but I think they should have gone to 23M if they want to make a significant difference over the 19 and 15 which already start at 6-8 knots,

I would love to get my hand on a Pulse/Psycho cross.

An 8m is next on my list...The idea of a blend sounds perfect to me!!!

I am loving my 12m Sp3. The 8m I am (not so) patiently waiting for will fit in nicely. :thumb:

Thank you thank you thank you FLYSURFER for creating the absolute best litewind kites on the planet!!!!!!!!! when other companies are scared to make bigger kites then a 13 or 15m, Flysurfer comes out swinging and builds a 21m self inflatable kite! I can hardly wait!! Also I am getting a ton of interest in the new blend p4 and p2.. please let us know when this new kite will be coming and what all of us Flysurfer fanatics can expect!!!!

Speed 21m some lucky guys going for it... I'll have one too..... Can't wait...

Real Deal:

Image

Info from FS:

After we were finally able to cover the demand for our very succesfull racing, light-wind and hangtime kite, the SPEED3 with our production, the development team used this extra slot of time to further expand the successful SPEED3 range, this may not come as a surprise to some, especially considering the tremendous amount of positive feedback we received on the light wind performance of the 19.0m.

CGI Images...

Image

Our R&D team, (Armin Harich & Andreas Hanrieder), acquired even more know-how while developing other new products, which opened up new possibilities. For them it was without doubt that this feedback and knowledge should also be integrated into the new SPEED3 21.0m DELUXE.

The 19.0m and new 21.0m SPEED3 DELUXE allow you to kiteboard in absolute light wind. And we are not talking about just cruising back and forth, but jumping, easily going upwind and giving you a feeling of powered riding, (hooked or un-hooked), when others are still sitting on the beach!

Image

More info will soon be online on flysurfer.com, technical specifications can be found here

"The SPEED3 21.0m DELUXE has almost no backstall anymore - in addition, the performance has been significantly increased! You will not believe how agile and direct a 21.0m can be. The lateral forces are minimal, and the depower range is extreme. When it comes to hangtime, the SPEED3 still is in a league of its own, and landings remain smooth like butter!"... So far the promising statement on the 21.0m SPEED3 by Armin Harich (R&D).
