Hmmm, are you trying to be helpful with the bar pressure comment?
I don't find this kite to have any more bar pressure than my 2012 Airush Lithium, actually.
If you are comparing the bar pressure of this kite to a FS speed 3 then, I agree, but I don't think that is a fair comparison.
That being said, my interweb research suggested rumours that it was a Flysurfer designer who left FS and went to North that designed this kite.
Perhaps flying characteristics and bar pressure could be likened to an early flysurfer...a pulse perhaps? Anybody know anything beyond rumours? Not a
lot of info out there on the Husky.

Just informative, I'm sure BR wouldn't try to 'sandbag' your sale. Prolly just saw little interest and there's not a ton of reviews that I could
find. I prefer a medium to high bar pressure. So it's a preference some will like other's not so much.

Sorry if you felt I was saying something bad about your kite. It was not meant to come across that way.
I have had 2 friends with this kite and have used it a couple of times. The one who still owns his ( Coolbreeze ) had it as his 1st depower. Now he is
so used to bar pressure that he dislikes my My Pulse + Synergy . Liking bar pressure isn't a bad thing , just a preference that I think some folks go
for.
As I mentioned I was most impressed with this kites low end.
Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.

Having owned a 6m Husky (these are circa 2004) they have a load of pull with not a lot of lift... These kites are rock solid and actually launch very
well off water!
On the downside I did find the depower not as effective as newer kites of similar size...
Good luck with the sale these are beautiful kites
Specs:
Technical Data:
25 chambers
Angle of attack 3.5°
Sizes:
6.2m
8.0m
10.2m
Key Advantages
Fast and easy setup and packing.
The kite fills extremely fast within the first few seconds of launching. No pre-filling required.
No assistance required for launching.
Wider range of use due to excellent depower properties.
Easy handling and harmonious flying characteristics (ideal for newcomers).
No aggressive buildup of pressure.
High foil stability.
Good performance for jumps.
Very good hangtime (gliding properties) particularly at light, dynamic thermal winds (close to slopes).

9.5m Ocean Rodeo Prodigy, 12m Ocean Rodeo Flite, 17m Ocean Rodeo Flite
OR Origin, OR Origin Lite, OR Mako Duke
