Flysurfer Pulse kites


just got off the phone with the USA imorter...

all Pulse1 kites are SOLD OUT.... so everyone will have to buy used.

Pulse2 should be out in a month and I expect will not be the same pricing.... assume prices similar to the Psycho3.

thanks powerzone

It gives some value to my current Pulses as no more available.

And on all forums (pkf, foilzone, ikitesurf, kiteforum), there is only my 10m for sale that I can see. And I can repeat my 10m is in perfect condition.

The thing that blocks me is maybe the canadian dollar is now stronger than US, but I bought it in Canada months ago, when the Canadian dollar was not good. The problem is Canadian resellers have not adapted their price. So my next kites will be purchased online from the states.

Hey Powerzone...looked on the Flysurfer web site and saw the Pulse 2 but looks like the technical data, etc is still Pulse 1 information.

Are you aware of the 2008 enhancements?

Thanks.

Well used it will be. The Pulse 1 is obsolete in 30 days. How does that add value?

powerzone,

are u sure for Pulse2 november date.

i remember that i read a post from Armin (himself) 1 month ago on foilzone.com saying that the Pulse 2 was not ready yet, they had tuning to do, and he was not going to launch a kite not perfectly ready. he does not want to do like LEI kite company, that all push to release in before each other to get the market.

I will wind the post and show the link ...

to follow

"Hey Powerzone...looked on the Flysurfer web site and saw the Pulse 2 but looks like the technical data, etc is still Pulse 1 information. "

>>>>yes.... there is only a picture of the pulse2 on the FS site... not sure why that has a link behind it, but when it is released the data will be also.

"are u sure for Pulse2 november date."

>>>>no...not SURE of the date, only reflecting what has been mentioned to me. i do know they are tweaking and refining still to get it absolutely perfect. you are correct... they will avoid hyping a date they can not live up to.

"Are you aware of the 2008 enhancements?"

>>>> typical stuff : more depower (S2 mixer), faster turning, cool graphics, new bag..... its hard to believe they can make a kite better than the pulse... they should have named it something totally different... it doesn't even look like a pulse.


hopefully there will not be a fabric shortage like last year !!! anyone remember that? its the only reason i ended up with a completely ORANGE pulse1 10m in the limited production run.

saw this picture of the pulse2 on foilzone for those who haven't seen it.

I heard that it will be the same FLS as speed2 for satey.

No more 5th line ? is this possible.

The FLS is about 85% depower compared to 100% for FDS (5th line). I agree with this on the speed2 as it's aimed for advanced riders, but the pulse is for beg/int, or hugh winds.

me again :singing::singing:

I have my answers.

Armin posted on foilzone that FDS will be available as an upgrade like for the speed2. And the FLS has been improved a lot over the speed2 version, so it might be enough for most riders.

Apparently the 10 Pulse2 will turn as fast as a Psycho3 8m.

i've REPAIRED evidence of FLS inferiority.... 6 blown cells and 2 inch line stretch all from deploying FLS....

the customer promptly "upgraded" to FDS.

on my own personal Pulse2 i will install an FDS....
