daily grind ... repaired SYN 15m back in action
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.as...
DEF! check the data on this ride . holy 20MPH gust swing .
on 1-4pm falling tide / with onshore start and offshore finish.
fun ride on the water today .
very proud to put up LAD's SYN 15m all refreshed and phreeride ready!
brutal west swing with heavy air hammering in.
the SYN checks out SOLID. super stable, feeling a little more power here than the charger 15m BUT not as quick. what a hand full in these
coniditons !

I'm glad to see you have some time on a synergy for comparison reasons. Nice that you pulled that one from the brink!

Interesting! Makes it even harder to decide whether or not to sell the Synergy's for Charger's though :o Now I'm leaning towards keeping them ... I
was about to sell them on Sunday
That's an interesting bar too ... homemade?
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

yes KK, the bar is an" all around any kite you got" custom. the strap is PL. super simple, add repair from basic sailing supplies. i think its a
04 style but ALuminum the only new , factory set up bar has been the NAVI.
SYN def has a "VENOM feel" and the bar pressure to go with it. The ch15 has less bar pressure for sure. probably needed a 12 of either on this
date.

Nice work on the Synergy! Have you ever mended a blown cell or be willing to try for some $$?
Thanks!

Yeah I just about exploded an elbow trying to turn the Synergy ... then I realized I'd gotten into a bad habit flying the LEIs of sheeting in hard to
speed up the turn ... let the Syn turn easy on the bar and it's no issue - and more than fast enough :o
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

thats the exact difference with chargers , quick without pressure like LEI.

past couple days logged a few hours on the SYN15 with the ATB
really nice flow with this unit , has timing and rate much like a VII(13m). faster & def more power. i believe this may be the wave unit special
has great hang and float stall just when you needed it.
about 8 hours on this set up now and me thinks more time on a SYN12 is needed for accurate comparison. esp in power out put .

please do.
gonna get full spectrum back to back in a session soon
P15->V13->VII13->SYN15->CH15. P15 may be a little out of the lot in specs. but OH WHAT PHUN!
the fall of bar pressure and the rise of performance!
