I normally use me 15M edge from 20-25kns. After this I pull out the 11m.

I want to know if the boost 15m jumps higher/longer then the Edge.

I'm looking to buy small 7-8m kite for 25kts+ wind gusting to 40kts. Would you recommend boost2? I can see them at sale now. Was going to buy sb as I have 10&14m but can't find anything on sale yet and full RPP is ridiculous £1239.00 where I paid £1500 for FS Soul 15m :lol:

Stoke is on sale as well in size 8m which I think would be better but it freestyle open-c kite and I'm not interested in that. I want high wind range and good gust eating machine.

Umm,

If u really having issues with Edge, im sorry to say but Boost exploded on me. Search for pics here somewhere.

Somehow FS decided to make a bladder with two seams. Good for them. Bad for us. Thinner LE, higher pressure, right?

My 11m 2014 edge most used kite. Yep, bladder on tip went off, at least did not rip the canopy from LE to TE.

Enough said.

Don't have issues with edge other than price, booster is way cheaper, never read about booster 2 exploding can share some links please?
I'm 92kg rider hence will use 7m infrequently but when I do I rather if it didn't let me down.

I'm often enough using my sb 10m were I live, looking for something 25-35kts. Is booster 7m way too small for that? was looking ideally for kite in size 8m but not frequent size to find it on sale.
