That is funny how kites get passed around on this forum. Good kite! Cheers!

What's even more funny is I was late to the party when you were selling them and missed out, goof got it then sold it to the guy I traded with. I've flown it once to test it out and just haven't had the time or energy to fly it since. Grab this kite AD72 and it will have made a full circle!

P.S. I've been out of touch for awhile, is this a far price?

I think that is a fantastic deal !

I have never flown a 10m but Love my 7 . It has taken a shocking amount of abuse and hasn't given me a single problem.

In my opinion this is the year that Flysurfer really got it together. The performance and safety with FDS all improved greatly this year. I can understand how earlier model Flysurfers sell for so little but am kind of shocked to see the Pulses and Psycho III's selling so cheap ?

If I wasn't on a buying freeze I would be all over this deal ! :thumbup:

I bought a 13m Pulse today on ebay 300€
can't wait to get it up:D

Anyone else fly one of these?

AD72 - 20-1-2014 at 11:27 AM

What do you want to know?

I read up on the kite on threads like these:
http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=18658

And now see the mixer test:

but I was curious about impressions about this kite. @145lbs with a 13m I am hoping for some good low end performance, and stability when those inland gusts pick up.

this review from 2006 sold me on trying the kite:

".....but I was curious about impressions about this kite. @145lbs with a 13m I am hoping for some good low end performance, and stability when those inland gusts pick up...."

pulse is a great kite though I think you might have hit some choice bumps:
- pulse is not a low wind kite, even in 13m size. But better than most of LEIs in that regard
- 13m Flysurfer with 145 pounds rider is a truck power unleashed
- gusts and lulls combinations are not keen to older Flysurfer wings, you'll need to pay more attention compared to nowadays models. Do or have mixer test done/verified, it should reduce misbehaviors to minimum

Overall - good deal, I loved my smaller Pulse2
