FLYSURFER PSYCHO4!!!!!

domdino - 3-6-2008 at 01:44 PM

I'm crazy excited about this kite

Apparently september is the date in mind!!!!!! Don't really have anything useful to say i'm just amazingly excited

Here's what it's meant to do according to armin

1. first kite to actively change its projected area on (de)powering.
2. fully powered up, a PSYCHO4 10m has 8.5 sqm projected area, fully depowered it has 6.7 sqm
3. The PSYCHO4 will come with a FDS, and will allow a faster landing.
4. The PSYCHO4 flies faster than any tubekite. This was already true for the Speed2.
5. The PSYCHO4 flies in the turn faster than anything on the market. Our aim was to get the smallest possible turning radius, but avoiding a bowlike pivoting
6. We are working at our completly new bar. It will be called infinity bar. To close it, you only have to pushing it together like a seat belt. It can´t be easier. It will untwist all lines by just powering up inkl. the 5th line.

Sounds like the best kite on the planet

looks so awesome i might have to get one.

nwsurfwakeskate - 3-6-2008 at 02:06 PM

wow that's awesome. I like the sound of that bar too. I guess its time to start saving!

leebrianh - 3-6-2008 at 04:25 PM

I've been waiting for it. Everyday, I am thinking about what size I am getting. I've got PU2 12M and 8M currently. Thinking about getting P4 12M and 10M. So, at the end, my quiver will be:

SA2 19M, SA2 15M, P4 12M, P4 10M, PU2 8M, P3 6M

What do you guys think of my future quiver? Dom, what size are you getting?

Baluk - 3-6-2008 at 04:50 PM

wow!

Brian

why would you keep a Pulse 2 in there ? winter ? waves ?

I've just sold my P3 10m last week + 3 other kites recently, so now I am left with only a SA2 15m + a tube. I need to do some shopping. too bad the P4 is not before end of year.

Now that will be the ultimate setup :o

leebrianh - 3-6-2008 at 06:47 PM

Buzz, Right now I have 12M and 8M PU2 and I like them. I am going to buy P4 10M first to fill the gap (what gap??? lol). If I like it then 12M. If I really like them, then maybe 8M as well. I heard there is no P4 6M, at least initially so I am going to keep my P3 6M. Or should I replace it with PU2 6M?

Ah~ too many of them and they are all good :lol:

Bladerunner - 3-6-2008 at 06:55 PM

:ticking:
Was that the sound of the new bar hitting the market or my P3's price dropping I just heard .
:ticking:

domdino - 3-6-2008 at 11:17 PM

Yeah i'm gonna go for the 10m to fit between my 8 and 12 first, if i really like them i'll replace my whole quiver

!!!!!! AHHHHH!

leebrianh - 4-6-2008 at 02:02 AM

We think alike :yes:

Please keep us posted on P4 US arrival.

tridude - 4-6-2008 at 05:35 AM

Baluk - 5-6-2008 at 07:07 AM

furbowski - 5-6-2008 at 08:36 AM

Changes projected area on powering up?

Wow....

I'd love to have a close look at the bridle...

leebrianh - 5-6-2008 at 08:42 AM

oh man! The closer it gets, the harder for me to wait :D

domdino - 5-6-2008 at 12:40 PM

I KNOW!!! How does a large quantity of ripstop and some lines get me soooooooooo excited???!!!!

This is the kind of kite that will get me dumped by my girlfriend because everything she talks about i will respond, but, but, it changes aspect ratios!

DenisLaMenace - 5-6-2008 at 02:22 PM

Ok guys

you are just a bunch of impatient consumers, compulsive buyers, excited just to have the latest toy, marketing hyper dependent addicted , and more.....

I just pre-ordered my 10m....

it's a joke:frog:

domdino - 6-6-2008 at 11:24 AM

You guys are a riot.
Is that a de-power bar in your pocket or are you just thinking of Flysurfers...?

Happy 4th.

which pocket? :smilegrin:

DenisLaMenace - 11-7-2008 at 10:17 AM

someone got an idea of the US retail prices with the infinity bar ???

they have been published in Euro but not on this side.

BeamerBob - 11-7-2008 at 10:23 AM

That bar is just too pretty to get sand, sweat, water or anything else on it. Very nice. Suitable for framing.

JKS - 12-7-2008 at 09:19 AM

There are some excellent photos of the new bar here
