I have been really excited about the Speed 4 and am waiting for the 12 meter to come out. During the past couple of weeks I have been reading all of the available reviews and viewing all of the videos available. I am having some concerns about the profile thickness. Comparing the Speed 4 to the Speed 3 the profile seems to be much fatter on the speed 4. If you go to the technical data on the Flysurfer website, the Speed 4 10 meter has less cells per length than the Speed 3 12 meter. That means that a Speed 4 12 meter will have even less cells per length unless they increase the number of cells for the bigger sizes. Usually less cells equates to a fatter profile which means the kite will sit further back in the window and have less upwind ability. The Speed 4 even has less cells per length than the Psycho 4, so does this mean that it will go upwind even less than the Psycho 4?
I was just wondering if anyone else has these concerns.
