It's happening in 10-12 days, 10 manufacturers entered kites for the "Take the tech out" pretty sure there will be a HF there.

ok got my forcasted force 3-4 today. Ive got some video footage and I think it will give you all a good idea what the kite can do. Im spent now (just back from djing) so ill try and get the video online this weekend.
By the way, the powerzone launch using controlled backstall works - i tried that today.

Heeeeres the first video. No big moves (ok one weak kiteloop) but you will see for yourself that considering the wind I had, it gives you a good idea what the kite can do.
I have yet to get a day with more than 10 knots so there will be more video coming up as soon as I get lucky with the wind.

I also had some time to compare the absolute low ends on the 17m, head to head with the 21m psycho2. Id say you have 1 knot advantage with the speed, maybe 2.
Compared to my rhino2 20m I see maybe 1 knot difference. However, ive got to sine the rhino much more to get going. Most of the time you sine the speed once or twice and off you go. Check the video, youll see what I mean.

Looks sweet! The relaunch in 9 knots increases my confidence in the kite even more!
Thanks!

Mark,
Do you think you should also get going in those conditions with the speed 13?
Thx
Arjan

Yes but of course remember the factors weight and board. If you are heavier you might need nice 10 knots. On the other hand, the 13m moves even faster so sining is going to generate more power and with the right board (a door) you will be going too.
