Arcs win again!

flyjump - 30-8-2011 at 07:47 PM

had a good session with a friend of mine today, he was struggling in the gusts and his LEI kept crashing all day today. he was so mad by the end of the session since my charger never touched the ground. nothing flys better in gusty conditions that arcs. when we were leaving, he told me that he's selling all of his kitegear and buying the exact gear that I have lol. if you are interested in a 2007 best waroo, medium prolimit waist harness and a 7m beamer tsr, they will be up for sale soon on the forum

I wondered about this myself. The LEI market seems flooded with many designs that appear essentially indistinguishable from one another.

I didn't notice anything from Peter Lynn's LEI that stood out from the crowd.

They are just trying to reach that market as well

Midgaar - 31-8-2011 at 04:04 PM

what size LEI and how much?

A 2007 SLE is a nice but ancient kite...................your friend needs a delta c design...................

Its a 12m and I think he wants 200 for it

ARCS win again ....so true ! V II has pulled almost a month of sessions while the tube has been sad and leaking X 3!. tubes are great but def have a suck factor. thankful for arcs helping me through those tuff moments of neediness.

arcs! a pathway to get all the sessions, ADAM, they were all spectatorized by the remaining arc. rock on and they can watch.

lol thanks phree, its nice to have something that is always going to be consistent

agree hard kite to beat...............ole dependable for sure. The 13m VI/VII were my favs on water. I remember 2 summer ago nfleech doing a downwinder at Folly with a blown cell wall on his 13m VI. Kite flew like a champ. Sent to fixmykite, repaired, and back on the water for under 70 bucks..........The Synergy and Phantom were a close second for me....................

Nice to be able to chat about arcs and stuff without the feral frothings of the foil-averse ...

Hahaha agreed. Tubes are powerful but flying with them inland is like riding a jackhammer. Id use a tube in a sea breeze but out here they break bones. Foils are awesome for landkiting

I was reading kiteforum yesterday and some inflatos were CHOMPING at the bit about how awesome their kites were.

MY KITE HAS NO WEAKNESS. MY KITE HAS NO WEAKNESS

ok dude, we're talking about hairstyles right now.

but... my kite isn't weakness.

ok.....

Arcs rule, inflatos drool..:frog:

geokite - 7-10-2011 at 11:03 AM

While I love my arcs, the ability to ride a wave and depower almost 100% would be great. I find I'm getting pulled off the wave alot of the time with my 19syn (yes, long throw bar). Edging to reduce power just doesn't work if you are trying to keep your speed up to stay with the wave...

" he told me that he's selling all of his kitegear....2007 best waroo, medium prolimit waist harness .... "

:puzzled: ...I guess he is assuming that your harness will help the kite handle gusts better too?? that's some harness you got! :) jk, assuming he tried yours and liked its feel better.
