More propaganda from the American importer of Flysurfer.

The fact is, Flysurfer ram airs DO NOT "give a true cable or boat-style pop". If they did, every pro on the PKRA would be using them. As things stand, none of the top 20 riders use or LIKE Flysurfer kites because they are INFERIOR for wake style and freestyle. Flysurfer ram airs are TOO slow, too spongy, too imprecise, and lack a decent "sweet spot" for unhooking.

It sounds like Flysurfer have anointed Dylan as the New Golden Boy and Hope for the Future. Kinda like the Bubmeister was in 2008 when they PROUDLY trumpeted his minor win in Germany and pronounced that he was going to take over the world. It never happened. The problem with Flysurfer kites and other ram airs is that they start holding back the riders once they get to a certain level of proficiency. If the Bubmeister had listened to me in 2008 and swapped to inflatables, he would still be competitive, possibly in the top ten.

Ignore the lies. Ignore the propaganda. Ram airs are inferior to inflatables on every measure, including in wake style and competition results.

Pumpy.

:) got yourself some friends, pumpy? :P

I'm doing some unhooking and freestyle on Flysurfer - and I always liked it!
Im riding inflatables too right now, but if I get a choice, unhooking a 15m Speed or a 12m C4 for example, I'll choose the Speed3 - great kite, great unhooking :thumb:

Pumpy :dumbo: .

If Bubi was riding a bit more than a couple of weeks in the year, not let himself be distracted by his studies, paragliding, speed-riding and adventuring in Alaska, he would be possibly in the top 10 with Flysurfer kites. Possibly in the top 30 with inflatos. :allbegood:
