help with some advice on foil or LEI

Scanman - 4-8-2005 at 02:37 PM

I currently have a 14m LEI for water, and a 3m and 6m foil for land. I'm trying to decide what my next kite should be. Here are my options:
1) Get a 10m depowerable and water relaunchable foil, so I can use for land and water to fill in the gap.
2) Get a 10m LEI kite only, and use the bar from my 14m LEI. Then get a used 10m foil (maybe Frenzy).

Thanks for any advice. If you think 1) is a better choice, what brand and model do you recommend?

Thanks for any advice.

I highly recommend the 10m frenzy it is great for land and water.
It has awesome control. Easily water relauchable for a foil.
Its great for tons of tracton activitie including my favorite jumping.
I would not want to deal the air pumping of the tubes every time before kitesurfing like with the Flexifoil Storm kite i have seen people setup.
I have flown a smaller frenzy and loved it, I just need to save my money first before buying it. :singing::o:lol::cool::singing:

Just bought a 13m Venom, can't wait to fly it! Anyone have this kite or used it before? Any tips or what to look out for?

Thanks,
Joe

Watch out for the Carbon spars failing. just check after each crash or ride. Otherwise it is a very good kite. I also added a carabeaner to the safety leash for ease of unhooking and hooking on.
