It IS good to see kite companies finally starting to show some honesty with light wind low end claims. Maybe Kiteforum threads calling "bullshit" had something to do with it???SupaEZ wrote:I invite you to check up what "NO BS LW" looks like for this New High Performance "Freeride" kite
Fuse 2013 in size 16m2....projected 10.2m2...wind range "10kn" .....to 20kn
Fuse 2013 in size 18m2....projected 11.6m2...wind range "9kn" ......to 17kn
LOW END is not 8kn...7kn...6kn...5kn...4kn...3kn...2kn...it's nice when companies keep it REAL
Here is the North Fuse 2013 link http://www.northkites.com/products/kites/fuse/

Any claims by any company about being able to perform (stay upwind etc) in < 7-8k, are complete bs. This includes claims by Zeeko and Flysurfer, not to mention Epic. It is likely that, because of pure surface area, the 21m Zeeko light wind kite will have better light wind performance than any other "light wind kite". But Zeeko's claims that the kite can perform in "5 knots" are bs.
