Pulse 12m / Blade 10.5 / low wind questions

Bladerunner - 17-4-2008 at 04:38 PM

With the other Flysurfers going to 15 and 17 I wonder why not the Pulse II ? I'm expecting the higher the aspect the faster the kite...

I am looking to set up with a 10.5 Blade for Uber low wind 12m Pulse 2 for when the 10.5 becomes too much keep the 7 Pulse and get a 2.5m Profoil for high winds ?

I know I can get flying earlier than I do with the 9m Blade II even though I like it!
I wonder if the 10.5 will get me going sooner ? Can folks with the 10.5 enlighten me on it's Uber low wind performance? Should I just keep the 9 ?
Thanks !

I can get going in pretty low wind with my 10.5 on my ATB board. I don't have a wind meter so I can't say for sure how low is low but it's pretty low. I might not be moving fast but I'm at least moving.

I'm only about 150lbs.
Would I be able to hold on to the 10.5 to 7 or 8 knotts ? That is about the time I'm setting down the 9m and the time I expect the 12m Pulse II to take off.

Honestly I can't answer. I'm 210 pounds.

If I'm not mistaken I saw a Pulse II 14 just the other day. Maybe I'm confusing it with a Speed II? THose more versed in all things Flysurfer will be able to confirm - I know the dude rumored it to be the 14 in Canada.

HMMM,

How did I think the Pulse II only went up to 12m ?

I see Powerzone has a 14 for sale?
