Veriy nice! Slawek, so how do you like your new Flexifoil Sabre2? I used to have Sabre2 7.5M but sold it in a week. I wonder if I would have had a different opinion for size 9.5. - Brian

Looks like I'm famous now hahahaha.

I use to fly 06 Frenzy 12m and if You will compare this two kites Sabre II for sure have nothing less.Love the kite and 5th line with the leash is a perfect safety for new to the sport as well as for pros that like to do tricks unhooked.I think they did very god job this time as kite turn very fast and tips don't fold like on older model.I would even say it have little more power than my last 12m kite.I'll post full review after 20 hours of flight.
Cheers

Strange.... I had a different opinion at that time. When it is depowered, outter lines are too slack, I couldn't even turn the kite. Middle hole is too small for both power line and 5th line, when I turn the bar, it locks it there, which means no power adjustment. Bar is too small and grip is awkward. The kite goes up to zenith and come back down a bit and it repeats contantly. Only two things I liked about it was good built quality and light bar pressure.

I purchased my 07 Frenzy at the same time, which I felt in love with immediately. Maybe I loved Frenzy too much, I didn't even give Sabre2 a chance. Now I want one and would like to give it a chance. Please keep me posted with your experience. Where did you buy it by the way? - Brian

DaVinch, actually I just talk to Scoop and he recommended Flysurfer Psycho 3. Is that what you were talking about as well? - Brian

Yup - that's the one. I'm going for a 10 or 13m. A great resource for FSer stuff is www.foilzone.com

Hey leebrianh You probably didn't play enough with it.I had same think with my old 10m access(didn't like it at first).I was riding yesterday in 15-23 very gusty winds with my buddy.Both kites did luff twice upwind at the same time my 12 Sabre and his 12 Frenzy.Personally I think hole in the bar with metal finish will work better as my old frenzy bar was cut by line that is going thru it and after a year I had to replace chicken loop. You can get Yours Sabre at live2kite.com with 10% off Just tell Evan that Slawek sent You.
Cheers
