talking with Ernest its still some time, the prototypes are out there, but nothing is firm yet, some samples are on the way this weekend though. the
launch never happened in 2009 because the Q Kite was already selling fine and the performance on the 14m was good enough for most riders. curious
about the RS line though ... looks more wakestyle
not much as changed in the way of the boards, just new graphics. i guess when its good why change it. UG has also new graphics for 2010.
its going to be a FUN SPRING/SUMMER
:bouncy:

Who said "when it's good, why change it"? I guess they decided Flysurfer had something good and its best to just make their kite just like it. It's
almost gratuitous. The inlets even look the same. At least they didn't add in the jet flaps too.

Beamer-Can't tell from those pics, maybe they did add jet flaps!
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...
Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

Kinda looks(to me anyway) like the L.E. of the Spleene is slightly concave(kinda like an arc), while the F.S. looks to be more of a curve? Maybe it's
just the angle of the photo.

Allot is the angle of the photo... but sure like a FS SP2 19m.
I don't think there are flaps and that is a big cost of making the FS SPs. So it may come in fair bit less...
Looking good.. I may get the X 19 in. Will get all pricing.
Some guys thinking of pre-orders..
Some 09 Door 164 left here...
The 2010 Boards in ASAP looking good.
The Funtech 160 is the same great boards.
Ready for another Season of Lightwind Fun!
So many more customers are figuring out how much fun it is
and we've been flying the big FS SP3's all winter, still going.
Great to see Spleene entering the lightwind market.

Ricardo, that could be very interesting
here is more details on the X-19
http://www.spleene.com/index.php/en/kites/x-19
I've just read on the french tubeless kiteforum, they claim to have a better low en d from 1 to 1.5 knots than speed3 deluxe. I guess it will be a S2.
it supposed to be more stable too ??
will be available in April in limited quantities....
the bar look quite simple and nice
IMO it might be a good solution for those who prefer raw power from S2 compared to S3 but flysurfer dont make them anymore. |
