Flysurfer Speed 4 12m Lotus - Flyboards FlySplit Split 134 Kiteboard Kiteboarding Kitesurfing!
This is not Jumping it's Gliding! What Travel Combo, Split board to travel with the 80cm PBK Stealth Bag! Also it's fun to travel without anyone know I'm a Kiteboarder or that there is kiting gear in the Bag, it's so small... The New Lotus Fabric is so light...

Hi. I would add to this topic a new video that I made concerning some sessions I had with the Flysurfer Speed 4 12 and 15 Lotus. Both great and funny kites.




Cheers
Carlo

Do you like the 12 or 15 better? I have a lotus 15 and am thinking about selling it for the 12.

I have both 12 and 15 Chrono's and 15 has seen more air time with light winter winds, but I see my 12 as my go to foil kite. If I had to choose, with foil board I would choose the 12, and without a foil board, I would choose the 15.

I've had all size of Flysurfers over the years and the 12m was always the "sweet" size.

Hi. Yes the 12 Lotus is a very nice kite but for light wind days (under 9 Knots) I've found the 15 better especially when I ride a big twin tip (Flydoor L or Flyrace) or a freerace board (Flyboards Razor). And yes, the 12 is faster in the flight window but the 15 obviously has more static pull. Nevertheless the 12 Lotus is one of the best kite I've ever had. Unfortunately I haven't tried the new 9 and 10 Lotus yet.
Cheers
Carlo

Some pics taken in Sardinia when I was riding with the 12 Lotus
