FAST! I was shocked the first time I flew it. It turns faster than I do in the buggy, pulls like a kite a size or 2 bigger. I was impressed, just
don't have any other sizes so....

nice...................so is the Bora II classified as a race kite? I fly some fast turning inflatables so turn speed really isnt a concern. I
actually perfer faster turning kites whether they are foil or inflatable...................

It is an older model, but just based on what I saw I would say yes.

I'm not sure there was a 3m Libre Bora II...was there ?
I have the 2.5 and 3.7 Bora II. If you've flown race kites before then you'll love these. You'll find them very stable and easy to fly. I think they
were the first kites to have an adjustable angle of attack but I remember it being complicated to do, especially with the badly translated German to
English instruction sheet. Maybe it was just me.
In the right hands the Bora will complete 5 or 6 complete turns before your fastest inflatable does just one.
 Great kite |
