What is the different point between inflatable kite and foil in big size for the airstyle. The good and bad points of each. Let's compare between the best on each side as sonic and rebel for example.
Wait to read you guys.
---------------------------
What wrote Toby is correct. I know foil kites for 6years and for me it is the best choice. Foil kites have ideal aerodynamics. You have bigger depower, so you have bigger lift and much better hangtime! BUT you need to know how to work with foils.
SONIC vs SPEED5 - I have a lot of question on this topic. Now I recommend SPEED5 - kite is much better like user friendly with similary power, control and relaunch. SONIC is priority for RACE with better performance BUT if you do mistake you will pay for this… You HAVE TO know what you do!
I am profesional with foil kites. I used before Speed 3, Speed Lotus and when I change these kites for Sonic I had to learn how Sonic works in jump, kiteloops, transitions… maybe after 10 sessions I was best friend with Sonic in airstyle
Now I know this kite and for me the best choice is SONIC
BOOST2 15m and 18m
I recommend to try this kite - if you dont want foil - these kites are developed for airstyle! You will have a big depower - and depower is nice again for lift and hangtime. Kites are amazing in relauch. Who tried BOOST2 and compare with REBEL - they say. nice feeling on the bar, better relaunch, turning speed for kiteloop, bigger size (bigger hangtime) and better kick to lift. I can not say anything about this, because I didnt tried REBEL…
Microloop is in developing, we would like to come with microloop in next generation control bar

Another plus for tube is the constant power when turning the kite, like for transitions. Look at Lukash videos and see where he looses the power (but he also cut the video at this point).
---------------------------
It depend how you control your kite - you can have constant power, but I dont like it. (I have 70kg and I used mostly 15m Sonic) I control power - for example - I dont want power now in turning to kiteloop and after few second I want. I can turn on same place kite without power and then send kite to power zone. All tricks in videos are done land and ride away, but its true its different that with tube kites.
