This was a great Kiteboarding on the Flysurfer Speed 3 12m Deluxe. Kiting with a customer on his 19m SP3 19m...

I decided to get the Deluxe lighter weight kite to handle the lulls and bad winds we get here... so it works very good for just cruising or even kite loops like I'm doing in the vid...

Better relaunch and more forgiving than Speed 2, more depower, higher end also less tangles, and easier relaunch.

I think the vid says more than just writing... Turns fast...

Looks great and wow thats realllly fast for the speed! Looks like it's way faster than my 10m speed2! great vid thanks man, i always like watching your videos, they aren't just some guy doing handlepasses for 5 minutes and showing no kite behavior, yours always show lots of the kite in motion which i most useful to us folks who wanna see what the kite does when you ride it hard
thanks a lot!

Sweet video Paul!!

Your videos are getting better and better. Picked an awesome day to record too. Nice shots of the city in the background. Good tunes too!

Wow, that kite does turn fast. Wouldn't want to wipe out on that rocky shoreline though - you'd feel that in the morning

Glad you guys liked it... yeah for sure there is so much fun in the kite flying itself...
and the twist in the Speeds wing with the triple depower... It's very interesting...
and the artistic side makes me think of it as more and more like a birds wing...
shifting, twisting and wingtip adjusting, zero lift at tips at times when you don't need it.
Very cool feeling...

Way back flying the Delta kites, it was flying the kite for the fun of it so turning and watching the kite is fun in itself...
Still fly my trainer foil on the beach for fun when the wind is super low...

Snow soon....

PBK, really good job on the video. Pretty tired of all those videos of riders out on the Sp2 19m in light wind staying upwind and ..... nothing else. We all knew the Sp3 19m was going to be a great lightwind cruising kite, but I'm interested in seeing what else it can do. Not that there's anything wrong with cruising, it's just not my thing. So don't all you 65 year olds start getting offended.

The fact that you were able to throw kiteloops, with the kite looping all the way thru before landing, says a lot about the turning speed of the 19M. And, that's a niffty little trick where you drag the tip of the board across the water and end it with a kiteloop. Sweet. I figure it's the same kite movement as in the Jesus Walk. Am I right?

Btw, have you tried looping the Sp2 15m?

Personally, I've had more fun and completed more new tricks riding in a steady 12- 15knots. Lightwind kiting CAN be a lot of fun! What else can you do?!

Cool, thanks... kiting is just great..! tons of fun to be had for any Style...

I do loops on the 19m but that's a 12m it's a Deluxe so it looks like a 19m DE.. My customer in that vid is on the 19m DE.... You can't get a 19m around that fast... but still can loop it...

See a powered SP2 19m day here:

Even Super Light looping the SP3 19m:

When I was in Italy for the Flysurfer Innovation Days... I was on the 15m SP3 15m Serial... Some good pop and some more dark side slides... some downloop Kiteloop... Lots of loops not in that vid... others riding too Never seen som many foils in one place... It was great to see....

In the Vimeo video, at 2:00 and again 2:10, a rider does a trick I've never seen before. Very cool. Can't wait to give that a try.
