Price : 1000€ bare, 230€ the bar. Web Site : http://www.flexifoil.com/ Design Remit : « La Firestorm comes in the following of the great Storm and we do believe that within this ratio, it is the kite the most performing of the world ! Performances : speed of turning increased, more options to adjust speed ; the 5th line optional in order to expand wind range in addition to a very soft navigation. Nevertheless, it can be flown as 4 lines ; stability is greater; once it is folded, the kite is compact. This kite is recommended to intermediaries and expert levels. » | |
