After my last swim with my 15m foil kite (my back still hurts!) I'm seriously thinking to swap my light wind foil for a one-struter.
The main problem is that I really like the abundace of power and lift of foil kites in light wind and I'm not sure if any one strut can match it.
Assuming that they are kites with very different charasteristics, which one strut kite has the most higher aspect ratio right now? (= closer to foil kite feeling).

Yes, I think the Voyager Light-Speed is the only one, at least I know of
Most or all others are quite low AR, compared - and feels like that too in every way, both good and bad
