What is your recommendation for a great "FreeRace" foil kite?
Hi Yodarocket31,
i think "great" could be to unspecific to get more than the typical fan boy answers about anybodys own most loved foil kite and brand.
As there are many great freerace foil kites out there, i think to get more specific you have to clarify if you mean:
"best price to value", "highest VMGs", "best handling for somebody without foil kite experience", etc.
- Still loving my
Sonics, I would not recommend them for anybody coming from tubes and not having experience with high AR foil kites in the water out of the perfect relaunch position.
- The
lecca-lecca is for sure one of the best freeride-freerace kite by price to value and also one of best in relaunch and low wind stablility, but doesn't reach depower and range of the big brands, but for sure still better than many tubes here.
-
Chrono v3, never tried, but as at least v1 was already leading the top and so must be very good and for sure also the relaunch can't be to bad. Just price to value is the question and I personaly don't like the "bridle in bad shape? Just buy a new one"-Idea
-
Soul is a real nice overall kite and I doupt it will personally limit anybody here in terms of speed, vmg or jumping. But I personaly didn't like the concept as not fitting so well to my own style as the sonics ...
