Mood: low winds here I come

12m Speed 2 top end


Really haven't had a session on the speed2 for a long time its just been too cold for my liking. Sunday it is suppose to be -1c winds NW 25km/h. I've flown it in those winds, but more than likely it will be at least 35km/h or better. Its just the way the winds out here seem to be..... If its above 20km/h its gusty or way windier than forecast says. Just wondering where this kite tops out for most people??? I really want to see the kites true potential, but after a good 2 and a half months of not flying, I'm fairly nervous of taking it too far right off the bat. Thinking the Synergy will be in the trunk just in case.

19m Flysurfer Speed 2 SA
12m Flysurfer Speed2
6m Ozone access xt
1.5m Ozone imp trainer

12m S2 is going to be more power than my tame 12m Pu2.
for 12m Pu2- 20kp/h is top end for buggy (in my tight quarter riding places). 30kp/h is easily OK (even for my low level skill set) on snow skis.
macboy said a fella (snow skiing) claimed he'd run a 19S2SA in 30 kp/h. nuts:lol::lol::lol::wow:

21/22 mph on water was fun....................what are you riding skiis/board in deep snow? If so youll need power and if you can hold an edge trim her down a tad and rock n roll ...................................

I'm on a snowboard and there's sure to be about a foot and a half of powpow in the field. I never took that into consideration, thanks for reminding me
