I am selling my Flysurfer Pulse 13m. It has a few minor repairs to the kite and bridals. I recently tuned to mixer and had a blast with it down in Oahu a few weeks ago. I just got a Pyshco 3 13m so I don't need this one anymore. Asking $500 shipped. Oh and I lost the original bag but have a big duffel bag for it.

I also have a Peter Lynn Viper 2.6m that is still in the plastic. I bought my dad for his birthday but turned ended up getting him a different toy when we were out that he finds more useful. He is more of a model airplane type guy not so much kite guy. Asking $240 shipped.

Can't figure out how to post pics so u2u me for them.

Too bad you're not closer, I've always wanted to try a low aspect Flysurfer. I bet you got some goofy looks while flying on Oahu, eh? Not many foil kiters there.

Yep, Wainman country...............this is a great kite Ive seen pics looks new

Thanks tridude, its the only one I have that has not been on John's table, never had the need for it. It turns a little slower than I like but has loads of power to spare. Very very very stable kite once I got the mixer right.

Actually in Oahu there were quite a few people really interested in them. There was one other guy out the one day with a Speed 2 12m. The kiters there were really laid back, wish I could say the same for some places closer to home....

At one point I knew every foil kiter in the state, but I'm sure things have changed dramatically since I left 4 years ago. I did run into a fellow PL flier while visiting Kailua last October, but otherwise all I saw were inflatos while I was there.

Yes, things did seem to mellow there a bit from years past, although they still were a lot more crowded than we ever see here. I rarely see foils here on the S-OBX. I see one guy with a Charger every once in a while, but that's about it.

great kite folk if your on the fence...................................

what is the low range for water on that 13m pulse? also your weight as well because that is factor

delete this

I weigh about 210. I am learning on the water still, but was able to get up and moving in about 18 or so. On snowboard or landboard 10 - 13 is the low end for me.

10kts low end water.............sine a couple times, build apparent, lock and load upwind like scalded cat........................

Like I said I have a lot of learning to do, lol. I was speaking in mph. The guy I bought it from said he could get going in 14mph. When you load it it will certainly make you soar. I just got some balls from John that I am going to put on the mixer to get rid of those annoying knots too.

So would you say the Pulse 13 is roughly the equivalent of a 15m tube kite (SLE)?

yes close..............power wise reminds me alot of the SS Rev 2..............Rev 2 power thru kite speed......Pulse is pure grunt combined with a bit of kite speed................meaning sinning the Rev using the kites speed once up to speed park and ride.
The Pulse sine a couple of times then lock and load (grunt).......

The Pulse and Pulse 2 series are awesome sites!!

So too much overlap with my (soon to be arriving) Venom 19, right? As I recall the V19 had roughly the bottom end of a 15m kite. I've never had much luck with Flysurfers. Had a Titan 15.5 and a Speed2-19. Had a hard time flying them in gusty winds. Wish there was a FS kiter here, would love to give one of the low AR models a spin. At least the wind is a big less gusty here (usually).

yes alot of overlap....................come to JIBE and you can fly mine....................................
