No one gives a shit about flysurfers and their latest butterfly silk material cuz they have never been successful in racing in any way shape or form.....but when ferrari comes up with a race car, people notice.Tone wrote:Ozone made foil kite, then tube kites and foil kites and now a water foil kite - people lose their mind about it!
Flysurfer make foils, more foils, even more foils then a tube kite and no one even notices.
Amazing.
The interesting thing about the chrono is that Ozone, a company who REALLY knows their shit when it comes to kites and flying things (both inflatables and foils) made the edge, a kite that the designer openly admits was never specifically designed to be a race kite, but just happened to kick the crap out of every inflatable kite made for racing for the last 4-5 years.
Then with the chrono they actually decided to apply themselves and designed a kite specifically for racing and ended up settling on a foil..... This is why people are losing their minds. The best racing manufacturer just came up with a new model......that based on aspect ratio alone looks like it SHOULD be faster than anything on the market (at least on the upwind legs) .
Pretty stoked to see how some experienced lightwind kiters, racers and foilers feel about this thing.
From the video the dude posted on the 12m it looks like it's unlikely to disappoint.
