which foil between 5-6m to buy?


hi everybody...after having beeing introduced to buggying after almost 6 months of using a 4m foil, time has come to buy a bigger foil...

I would like to purchase a foil between 5 and 6.5 meters (5.5 would fit perfectly)

Has anyone a suggestion to make ?(of course price should'nt be to high)

I was thinking of buying an Elliot Lexx or Airea Raptor II...Anybody has comments to do about these foils?

Thanks for info and may the wind be with you.

Hi there.
In my opinion it all depends on what you want out of the foil, if your looking for big pull but no upward lift stay away from flexifoil blades (mark I, II and III) from my limited experience I can suggest looking at the Firebees. They actually come in a 5.5m size and have a lot of power low down in the window. I heard somewhere that they were first designed for buggying so they should suit your purposes quite well.
As always I'd suggest trying one out first.
I'll get my mate who owns a firebee to post and voice his opinion for you as well.
Happy flyings

tnx for info broken bob...I had the opportunity to try different kites this we as i visited the 17th international kite meeting of berck sur mer (excellent indeed)...

Concernig the firebee it produced less power than other foils such as the raptor 2 , 5.5, i tried... I finaly decided to buy the lexx 5.5 from ekko which is powerful and felt quite safe...

I will tell you soon if my choice was good
