So far, so good. As usual I save myself from talking about construction, rigging, accessories etc. As
always there is never anything to criticise. That’s where Flysurfer is ace.
So first day, wind around 4Bft, kite out of the bag, placed on the sand, harness on. No pre-inflation just
straight up with the kite in the middle of the Powerzone. The kite starts quite fast and without any
annoying wingtip folding as is common with an under-inflated PS3. Here first pluspoint,
easily be launched without thorough pre-inflation.

Out of the many weeks here in Brasil
the small Flyradical 122cm. I could use the kite from 10knt to 33knt. I was never overpowered and
10knt, ok, not really powered but enough to practice tricks. So, all in all a Here again the main points in overview:
Positive: No folding wingtips during launching, extremely stable in the air
Good bar-feedback, steering forces, fast reaction of the kite
Lots of depower, significantly more than the Psycho3
Gigantic hangtime
Much more basic pull and huge range
Hardly any backstall, loops well but with large radius
Fast top-end speed.
Reasonably easy water-relaunch by pulling both back-lines Negative: Larger turning radius due to the elongated outline
Fast loss of pull when under swinging the kite during jumps or when riding toward it in waves.
The usual line-salad when leaving the kite on the beach for any length of time in strong winds.
