The 12m is 2244g.

Can compare to R1V2 9m and Edge V9 7m.
I will keep the Hyperlink in my personal quiver, which I really did not expect.Litsupplyco wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2017 12:01 am
Frank what are your impressions after being out on the 9?
Sure. Power pike. Turning speed. Weight (lighter vs heavier). Bar feel. Overall feel of the kite compared to Edge. Basically I'm interested to know how different or similar this kite feels/behaves to those other models. You seem to like Edge (especially the small size) with HF and I do as well, so I assume that your gut feel about this kite is very useful to me.Frank Rosin wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 11:45 pmCan compare to R1V2 9m and Edge V9 7m.
Are you after anything in particular?

Can not wait for 7m and 5m to arrive!
Will work on a more complete report the next few days, this time in German first though.

Yes it does turn well, not super fast and responsive, but smooth and very predictable.borist wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2017 8:01 pmLooks like it turns well. Can you make a comparison to 9m race foil and perhaps 9m Edge?

Going downwind on hydrofoil works really well and easy. I guess it means it drifts well.early bird2 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 11, 2017 10:23 amDrift ?
Does the 12 performs as well as the 9 ?
Drift launch ?
Compare to the R1V2 really ? to the V2 and Edge I would understand but the R1V2 seems to be way more high AR .
Massive. If I had to choose just one kite for hydrofoiling today, it would most likely be the 9m Hyperlink as I would not miss out many days.Litsupplyco wrote: ↑Wed Jul 12, 2017 2:28 amWhats the range of the 9m on your foil. German works for me
Should be relatively reliable possible.early bird2 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 12, 2017 6:56 pmThanks for the review Frank ! I meant drift water launch when there is no beach .
Thanks Frank. This is what I was looking forI really like the R1V2, just a performance machine and also loving the power spikes (especially of the 6 and 7m) for maneuvers, the Hyperlink is completely different, but still I fell in love. I am very surprised myself. Expected to think that it is a good kite, but surely did not expect I would like to keep riding it after testing. But I do.

I already had some thoughts in this direction (related to the Hyperlink), there are some spots that are no real spots
