Not compared to a Speed, BR
the Synergy went upwind ok yesterday but I wouldn't
call it great - about the same as the 'bow but it needed way more speed in the board.
I personally would avoid the Naish Sigma kites unless you can get a demo ride and make sure you try the water relaunch - we got 3 or 4 locals with
them and I've never seen them water relaunch - they end up drifting into the shore or getting someone to help. I even seen one doing the Herc
Autozenith for like 10 minutes
$1,300 will get you 2010 or 2011 kites ... U2u sent BTW
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
