Quick get on a speed3 and you can win $10,000 dollars from PMU.....easy moneyThe new wind average minimum for kite course racing at th North American Continentals was 4 knots.

My Speed 3 19 DL gives up under 5 knots,
so if you could please let me know about a flying tyre that will outdo my Speed3 please let me know

NO kite - ram air or inflatable - will perform in under 8 knots
and definitely NO KITE WILL PERFORM AT 5 KNOTS.
I won't go into the physics of it, but it is simply impossible for a kite to perform under 8 knots;
definitely NO KITE WILL PERFORM UNDER 7 KNOTS.
The physics is complex, but primarily involves the power that wind moving at 7 knots (13km/h) can deliver.
There is simply not enough power or velocity at this wind speed for ANY kite to perform.
Gunnar's exaggerations and lies can be found at viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2361421
This is typical of the ridiculous and unsubstantiated claims made by ram lovers.
Kitesurfing at 5 knots.......laughable.
Ignore the lies. Ignore the exaggerations. Ram airs are aerodynamically inferior compared to inflatables.

It is simply IMPOSSIBLE to kitesurf under 8 knots (definitely impossible under 7 knots).
Laws of physics prove there simply isn't enough power at this wind speed.
If you match it, I'm prepared to wager $10000 USD that you cannot "ride just fine in 5 knots"
as long as the following criteria are met:
- Objective PROOF of 5 knots
- Objective judging eg At a PKRA event.
- Objective judges. 3 independently chosen judges.
- Definition of "ride just fine": I would define "ride just fine" as the ability to stay upwind
over a prolonged period of time eg 10 minutes.
SO BRING IT ON GUNNAR. Prove your ridiculous claims objectively or stop the lies and exaggerations!
Gunnar riding just fine - not saying its 5 knots though.DrLightWind wrote:Pump me up wrote:Gunnar Biniasch has been caught out exaggerating the benefits of ram airs - typical ram lover lies and exaggerations.gmb13 wrote:Please let me know which Kite you use that will allow me to get out in less than 5 knots.

I hope you could prove that's possible in 5 knots
