10m Pulse 1


I could sit here and banter for 15 to 20 mins but this kite will do all that you ask and then some................upwind, waves, sines, park and ride, fast and powerful turns, speed runs, jumps, and very floaty. Depower range is awesome as well. I can get rolling in 12/13 mph on the bottom end up to 25 mph and this point.............for a mid A/R kite the 10 boosts big..............second session with punchy/gusty ENE winds (20 to 25 mph) with no effects on the canopy...............very stable in the stock mixer setting..................relaunch is a breeze...........................after 10 or so sessions, this kite is easily the best kite Ive owned to date......................:thumbup::yes:

Relaunch is a breeze. Here is the video that sold it to me. Originally from the Flysurfer site for the Pulse 1.

So you'll let us know what you think when you REALLY make up your mind? :smug::rolleyes:

Seriously, I think tridude is in love. I've never heard a cross word from him on this kite. It seems to fit him and his expanding skill level perfectly. Should work well with winter winds as well. :thumbup:

I can say that was the case for my 1st Flysurfer. The Phsycho II but you sold me that 7m Pulse at just the right time.

My arcsperiance would have made meant I could have gotten a lot more out of the 13m P3. The float that others could get out of that kite was amazing. I just wasn't there yet.

does make you wonder Blade......................their (Flysurfer) low ranges seemed a bit low but once you develop kite skillz and learn to make extra HP with the kite, the low ranges are very accurate.............Im 190lbs and 12 to 14 is no problem on my Crazy Fly.............Ive seen BB ride the same set up in exact winds and he's 220lbs.........................

after 6 months this kite just keeps on trucking and trucking well...................from 14/15 upwards towards 30 mph this kite is awesome. I have logged well over 20 sessions and 100 hrs on this kite and it only seems to get better. Upwind, stable, depower, waves, jumping it does them all well. I have done a couple mixer tests and replaced all 4 spare parts lines with upgraded spiderline dyneema (learned to sew loops as well). As a retired aircraft maintainer I like the maintenance checks, etc required. Its almost like trimming flight controls again..................as you grow with the kite the kite grows on you......................the 10 is def "ichiban" in my quiver...................

Well after reading Tri's remarks, definitely thinking about picking up a Pulse2. Love the quick launch times and relaunch-ability.

So if my PL Venom 2 19m is my most heavily used water kite (13mph - 21mph), which Pulse 2 would be the better call...the 12 or the 14? BTW, I'm about 215lb without my gear.

i'm at 200+ on V13 when tri's on the 10M , might be the 12m sometimes.

i would want a 12m (specifically S3) but the pulse would be nice for all around

more like 215 geared out

The 12 for those winds with your LFT.....................Ive ridden Kitedogs and my sons 12 P2......sweet kite no doubt..............higher A/R and a bit faster in the turns, but rock stable. Also the 2s have a shorter bridal, and stopper ball adjustments on the mixers.........cant go wrong with a Pulse.............

I love my 8m P2

ON the snow its perfect from 10 to 25 mph

The more I fly it the better it feels
and the relaunch makes me laugh every time

Now I need to find a 12m p2 and then quit looking

yes on the KGB and the winds were 18 to 21..........I just installed their (KGB) glass fins and had a great session......the KGBs are flat on the bottom so you can slip off your edge when loading up for a jump from time to time (in the chop) but not a significant factor..........rock solid performance for under $300...................
