Nope, sounds like a great combo to me. Almost the 1 kite quiver.
I think a Sonic2 13m and a TT is a great combo but it will handle differently than the well behaved Speed 5 kites. When I asked my dealer about buying them, he told me to stick with the Speed 5 kites. I bought the Sonic2 kites anyway and now I love them but it was not love at first sight. It took some time before becoming comfortable with them.A Sonic 13 and the TT? Too difficult to handle?
Having both Sonic1 11m and Sonic2 9m and using them both for freerace hydrofoiling and freeride/big air on TT, I also find the Sonic1 better for TT for boosting. Good point of Sonic2 is that you have less tip tuck and colapses, so you can avoid droping your kite in the water, but weak point of Sonic2 is that its turning radius is larger and it keeps more power during a abrupt turn, so it's harder to do a nice boost, I tend to feel overpowered quickely.
Psch, not that much more difficult. I couldn't point to any instance that the Sonic 1 or 2 has been any more difficult to fly than my Speed3's....pmaggie wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2017 8:59 amI think I will forget the Sonic, it never existed )))))))))))))
Joking, but reading your valued opinions the verdict is quite unanimous: the Sonics are more difficult to handle than the Speeds and they're more oriented to foiling than to TT freeriding. Add to this that my home spot has an extremely tricky launch zone...
Thanks to everybody for the suggestions!
Agreed, I went from Speed 4s to Sonics and didn’t geek they were more difficult at all. Never flown the S5s though, maybe they are that much easier.Kamikuza wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2017 2:29 pmPsch, not that much more difficult.
