Really looking forward to a 4m Flysurfer, but boy oh boy that kite looks like a design peterlynn discarded.

lets hope the production versions look a bit less like someone skinned the michelin man.

Do I view this right in that he is trying to demonstrate not only the the kite wil relanch with a flick but it will also find it's own way to the edge without bar input in preperation ?????

Or is it just sort of a fluke that the kite found it's way there ?

this viron kite has only a single front bridle row and brake bridle. also, it seems to have a pulley at each tip connected to an internal braid, very similiar to arc kites.

the relaunch looks similiar to a taco relaunch with arc kites. this thing is imho a cross between a bridled foil and an arc. sadly, it does not seem to have autozenit.



very interesting kite concept.
add more cells, more aspect ratio, and bigger sizes, and this could well become interesting also for advanced kiters..



Kites:
Tubes: Ozone Zephyr 17 * Naish Helix 2009 10.5 qm * Cabrinha Access 2003 9qm * Wipika Hydro 2001 9qm *
Arcs: PL Scorpion 13, 16 qm; PL Synergy 10 qm
open cell: PL Twister I 7.7 * PKD Buster II 3qm
Paragliders: Gradient Bright Classic (with check) * Swing Mistral 1 (groundhandling) *Advance Alpha 3 (groundhandling)

If you had a Pulse that was that small and the same wind conditions I would assume it would behave the same. Let's see if it scales up. When there is enough wind, the Pulse 10M also wants to relaunch itself.

The reduced number and larger sizes of the Viron's cells may in part be attributed by the single central air inlet.

Also for the inlet being only 1 and in the middle, when the kite is boobing at the edge...
The middle inlet is out of the water.
Holds more air in, less leaking out and water in.

The reduce cells make it affordable for sure...
Less labour and ribs (Also weight) and it works
Kinda cool to see a foil do that.


The Kiter is showing what it would be like as a beginner
crashing the kite and letting go out the bar.
The kite goes to the edge and waits there.

And notice it only relaunches as he grabs the bar....
Great for kids, women and beginners...
