Got my new to me FS Speed 2.5 - 15 yesterday..... Wow, what a pretty kite...... Crispy, lines still stiff just like new.....
Winds were offshore for the gulf so went to a shin high shallow water bay spot......
As soon as I took off I heard a humming sound, and the faster I went the higher pitched it became...... Like a herd of bees following me... Kind of
like a built in speedometer.....
Man is that kite fast.... After the first dive it's like a jet engine fires up...Edge hard and hang on..............I'm usually in the waves which
naturally slows me down, I see why they call it the speed....
The guy I bought it from said he has done 50mph on snow....I was probably going 30.....................
Someone please buy my old speed, and you can have fun too:-)

If you put your ear to the depower line you can hear it even better :D
Hell yes, great kite and the wind range is MASSIVE! I'd be interested to see the difference between the 15 and the 19 too ...
... just don't nosedive it in the powerzone :shocked2:
