Im thinking of going with the 13m Ovando for a low wind engine.................if so the 19m SA2 may have to go................so the question is,
anyone out there looking for a low wind engine, and I do mean low..............I have a couple pics in the gallery of Powerzone 10 foot plus airborn
in 10/11 mph (8/9 kts)......................
Kite is in great shape, tuned as all ways, mixer, pulleys, and spare parts lines (green lines) in great shape..................kite does have 2
professional repairs about the size of a silver dollar performed at Flysurfer HQ in Germany.............
this kite is always first on the water and was first out and upwind in the buggy @ JIBE, and the only kite out on the water that
afternoon...............
again, I may or may not sell, but curious if theres any intrest out there.................................this may be the worst kiting decision/sell
Ive ever made...............:o:o

Don't do it! That kite was too easy to set up, launch, and ride upwind with. Send me a price to see if I can swing it if the opportunity comes up.
I didn't even notice the repairs on it, so they must be good/small.

don't sell unless you're going for the new speed3 21m
when I sold mine to get the Speed3 19m, I had many regrets in the beginning because the S3 had a bit less low end, but now I managed to get the most
of it with having the right position and technique
The Speed2 19m is the kite that is the easiest to get low wind performance out of it.
I have tested many tubes in the last 2 years. I flew the Ozone Zephyr for 1 full day. Even if some tubes have great LW performance, none can do what
the SA2 19m does.
Yes the Ovando, the zephyr, the ozone edge, the cab crossbow are all good kites but below the 10 knots they are not park and ride, like the SA2 is.
If you sell, you make a mistake, unless you buy the new Speed3 21m that is supposed to be out in September. Apparently Armin said it's an improved
speed3 with no backstall and will max low end for big guys.
I am going for 1.
