So it looks like we have little choice but to fly in the rain for the next while. I hope to use this chance to hit the water again with plenty of wind
over the weekend.
Has anyone got experience with Flysurfers in the rain ?

once with the P3 10m on the water
become wet heavier and slower, tough to relaunch

Get a nasa wing not a problem when wet since it is a single skin kite.

Yeah i used to fly my p3s in the rain all the time in england, i actually love flying in the rain it feels great but it does make flysurfers heavier
and a bit slower and definitely harder to relaunch, i also never flew them in heavy rain just drizzle... fun

Thanks,
My 13m is tough enough to flip when dry. Fortunately, it looks like I'll have enough wind to use the 7m ! It flips easy when dry !!
I have never heard of anyone using NPW's on the water ? Do you actually use yours for surfing Susan ??? Would my 4.8 be big enough ?

just had a full rain session couple weeks back on my PL kite ,(not FS, but closed cell) posted about it ...
totally fun... wet, start to finish, 15mph i think, on the water real nice flat section.
around 2 hours,
would not think twice about it .......the only stopper...sparky sparky or inconsistent wind from deluge of rain

ARC's should fly fine, very few inlets, and designed to drain water, IDK if FS's do the same, but if I had a FS and a tube, in the same windrange, in
the rain, I would fly the tube.
