Of all the single strut kite offerings, which one boosts the biggest? I’m looking for a kite which I can foil on in 8-10 knots but is also good for freestyle in 16 knot winds. Right now I have the Dash which is a sweet kite but is a bit heavy on lighter days

I can only offer accounts of two:
- LF Solo: boosts quite well, but not great for powered loops
- BRM Cloud C2: doesn't boost at all

Thanks. I wonder how the north mono, naish boxer and airush ultra all compare for boosting.

The D's boost pretty well for a strutless.

Interesting news on the D. I had the .5s and they didn’t jump very well.

The Ultra and the Boxer have very similar boost ability in my opinion. I have ridden them both. I prefer the Ultra.

I would say the Ozone Enduro 12. No single strut kite can come even close in boosting and I can easily foil in 8 to 10 on a lift foil.

Best single strut kite for boosting on foil?
