Sunday afternoon session at Sullivans (3 to 5/530 pm).........winds started off at 12/13 and nicely powered on my TT and Fish......................arond 5pm winds dropped to 9 to 11 mph and since Ive never flown the Zeph/Door combo I figured it was time.............rode inside the sandbar on our newly formed lake and stayed upwind nicely and much like the old SA2 days found myself alone on the water.....................kite powered well and was solid thru the window. Never gave me a hint of falling out of the sky which inflatables will due in lighter inds and lulls. Of course the Door is hard to beat for low wind performance. I was able to build apparent wind and forward speed to pop some nice jumps and ride toeside....................sweet kite/board combo!!!:duh:

Modern big LEI kites are much more fun than they used to be. Better depower, turn faster, less bar pressure,....

Last year I was on the Blade Fat Lady which I sold a month ago.

Last week came in the new CORE XR2 19m, which I haven't tested yet. Maybe this coming weekend.

I have flown the CORE XR2 13.5m 5 times already and it's very similar to a Cab Switchblade with lots of hangtime, turn a bit faster, and much less bar pressure. Just this 13.5m has great low end. The CORE sensor bar works great. The quality is like other German products, great !

Looking forward to testing this 19m LW beast.:wee:

I was told it's the first in Canada. May be in North America too ??

Nice! I got the 2011 XB 16m - nice improvement on the 2010 ... new bridle design is responsible I reckon.

I'd like to try the bigger LEIs but aren't buying one just to try it still ... I'd like to see them up against the Speeds. And I'd hate to have to pump them up :D
