A lot can be done lightwind and on door twintip. My scale shows three digits in kgs and I use 15 Sonic first time on a demo, I had 15m Speed4 before.plummet wrote:Forget the 7-9 knot airstyle. Wind is too low, your board speed is not fast enough and kite is too slow to redirect from the low speed/low height jump.
As others have said. hyrdrofoil. Or left field idea. Landboard or kitebuggy.
Nice Shots.
In the meantime I realized that the low end of the 21 Lotus (with line extensions) differs from the Sonic FR 18 (without line extensions) in about one knot
PS: my weight is 76 Kilos .

Thanks, appreciated.haiku wrote:Hi. As I said the Speed 4 21 Lotus has a better low end (about 1 Knot) and obviously more static grunt. Nevertheless the Sonic FR 18 has a wider flight window and It can pull hard at the edges of It, also the bar feeling is slightly different with less pressure.
Thanks Plummet. When I started the session (Rena Majore-Sardinia) the wind was blowing straight onshore at 8/10 Knots. Little withe caps are normal in onshore winds even in marginal conditions. With 13 Knots I would have used my LEI wave kite with a specific kite wave board.
Besides that I think that during the session some gusts were above 10 Knots. When I was on the beach, packing the Sonic, a french kiter told me that I had an "impossible kite session" .
Overall I love my Sonic FR 18 and I recently added to my quiver the 11 and the 15.
Cheers
