WOW this is over 3 times that low wind speed that you do with your ZEEKO 21m2 and your foilboardZeeko wrote:i
For example, in 5knots of wind, my ride speed it around 18knots, in 7knots: 24knots approx

i've landing my speed 3 into a tree.... slowly peeled it out. no damage.edt wrote:not if you put your kite in a treeplummet wrote: get damaged heaps less than leis.
the bridle makes it a lot harder to get down. How do you get it down when it's 20 meters up in a giant tree? You gotta climb.plummet wrote:i've landing my speed 3 into a tree.... slowly peeled it out. no damage.edt wrote:not if you put your kite in a treeplummet wrote: get damaged heaps less than leis.
a barbed wire fence! no damage
light post.... no damage
drift wood.... no damage.
house.... no damage.
Think you need some training on how to pack up a speed 3. From pulling the landing strop i'm packed up in about 3 mins...SupaEZ wrote:Back to topic
This 21m2 tube is 6% lighter weight than a 21m2 foil
That right there is quite an achievement in itself
Not much to pump...3 struts + leading edge....2 1/2 minutes at most by hand pump to inflate
Deflating a big LW tube is quite faster than getting that huge amount of pillow air (1 psi).......
....trapped between the twinskins...and get it "all out" of those 2 small deflate velcro valves flaps
I did the test with my 19 Core vs SP3 21...i timed myself using both..tube wins overall
Setting up and "on water riding" with 19 tube = 5 min.....same thing with 21 foil filled up = 4 min
I can pump my 19 in 80 seconds at 6 psi
Packing down and leaving beach = 5 min.......same thing with 21 foil = 9 min.
9 minutes is a very long time especially when a thunderstorms is coming
The reason for using a large foil for LW is becoming virtually unnecessary in this day an age
