flatwater :D :D :D :D
wind was only showing 9-14mph on the dungeness lighthouse sensor today. I'm not sure what that translates too where I was riding but it felt pretty
dang light.

awesome video - the foil is truly an amazing wing

Judging by how it was flying while you're in the water I'd agree that the wind was way light. Pretty cool stuff. I'm really waiting to see what the
S3 is all about because the 12 very well could be my next kite.
On another note, man I wish I had flat water like that right around me. It doesn't matter what the wind is doing here, it's always choppy. Just
worse when it's really windy. At least Hatteras isn't too terribly far.

its up on the strait in washington. about 45minutes away from my house/work
its an evening thermal spot so it works perfect for hitting afterwork. I usually get there around 6pm and the wind has just started blowing 
usually there is more wind out there though. yesterday was really light and I had the tide working against me everywhere except for in that flatwater
cove.

That kite is amazing man... for how large it is and how low the winds are that thing is FAST!!! sweet vid!

the range on it is pretty much amazing too.
about 8-22mph for me. and I don't even really have to touch the trimmer much for that. just edge harder, keep the kite at the edge of the window, go
slow and take a steep angle up wind

wow... What would you say the wind range would be landboarding? Could I stay upwind without it pullin me too hard downwind in the upper teens?
Also... gusty conditions? love it? hate it? right in between?

Powerzone told me its not a very gust friendly kite. the wind I've been riding in has actually been pretty stable so I can't really comment on the
gust handling ability.
Powerzone used to landboard with the one I own so he can probably give you better numbers on that then me.
depending on your weight and skill level high teens definitely doesn't sound like its out of the question though.
