Flysurfer Pulse
Guys,
I had my 13m Pulse out for the first time today and I had a really good buggy session! The winds were 10 - 15 mph (~9 to 13 knots) and clean.
The depower was excellent. I felt a bit strange putting up a 13m kite when I would have been flying a 6m Bego fixed bridle.
Buggying with a depower is pretty cool… It’s like having a throttle at your finger tips.
I still have a lot to learn about the kite, but the first session went surprisingly well. I just need to adjust the depower line. I had to reach way
too far to fully depower the kite.
Here are a few pics:

Yeah Tridude - maybe we can work something out. It's not doing any good just siting in the house.
Plus, you really need it

Too many kites and not enough time? Just kidding, let me know when you are ready! OBTW, I messaged NE wind sports about a 400 but no reply! Curious,
did you hear back from him on his remaining inventory?
Your new addtion does look nice. Did you buy a bar, fly it on handles, or did it come with a bar? Also, what is the line tensile strength? Not sure
what you have but the Ozone 800lb set I put on the Bego are very nice! I also purchased Ozone handles which are connected with a nice lanyard in case
you want to hook into a harness, for boarding I assume!
I must tell you this past Friday I took the 600 out with a few tweeks added to the Ozone break lines. I added a knot on the break leaders at the
handles to increase break line tension. I was missing that "pop" so I lowered her and found that the left BL at the kite was on a different knot
(remember I added two knots on each BL at the kite. I had the right line at the knot you were using. To make a long story even longer, the kite flew
with no porblems other than the missining"pop". I raised the left BL to the knot you were using and the "pop" was there again! Man Ive flown this kite
in low winds <5mph, break and power lines inverted, and now different bl lenghts. What a machine!! Too good to be true!
Regards,
Tridude

The Pulse is set up on a depowerable bar. This thing is easy to set up and very stable!
You could cover a huge wind range with just two of these kites (7m &13m).

Thanks - my typical flying area (several soccer fields) was too wet, so I tried out this area. No flying today...7 degrees with light snow
