Demos
Is there ways to demo flysurfer kites???? I might get busy at work in August, which will cancel my holiday plans. As such, I thinking of looking for a
water/land kite that may give a closer feel to how my access handles. I've flown that kite in some crazy gusty shifty conditions, with no hassles. Its
very predictable, even though its super fast. Fits my wind conditions really well. I know that the pulse2 sounds quite similar and might look for one
of those, but was thinking of the Unity. Everything I've read about it sounds up my alley. Its just seems like a lot of cash without being able to
demo it. This is something I've been on the fence about for a while now. Its tough to find what your looking for without being able to try the gear.
what I fly/ride:
19m Flysurfer Speed 2 SA
12m Flysurfer Speed2
6m Ozone access xt
1.5m Ozone imp trainer
144cm Airush Switch
152cm lib tech skate banana
MBS Pro 90
Jereme Leafe Pro 95

Yeah I'm not 100% sure if I'll get my vacation time or not. At the end of work the other day, there was talk about a couple big jobs starting in mid-
July. If that happens I won't be able to take time off till the jobs are done. I was thinking I could grab up a 19m SA2, but after having my nice ATB
ride the other day I really started thinking about how I liked the way the access handles. Not that there is anything wrong with any of the other
kites I have. I tuned the speed 2 today, so I'll see if it improves how I manage with it. The way that the Unity is said to handle, really has me
wanting to try it. There may be a bit of time before people have it in their hands to give an everyday persons review. I messaged Flysurfer USA
explained what I was experiencing trying to learn on the water. They replied asking where I lived and how much I weighed. I replied and also asked if
there was a way to get a demo in the next few months.....No reply back, but that was at the end of yesterday, so more than likely next week some time.
God I must sound like a crazy person not knowing what I want, and wanting everything.

I think you sound pretty normal.
Try before you buy is a great concept but doesn't always work. I had to take the leap of faith with FS as well. Love the kites but can't figure out
the company?
