Guigassa , this is to replace and try to get rid of an Ozone R1V2 19 that I can't use because lack of a decent beach . I drift launch 100 percent . Foil kites are for winter on the snow at my spot .

Ok!
But give a chance to a closed cell to use on the water, maybe you change your opinion, if not, that’s ok, it’s your preference... i am saying that because i surrender to the foil kites for ligth wind and own a speed 3 21m and is really a dream kite.... for me, more than 14m only a foil...

Guigassa , I understand your point of view and I appreciate your help , I have been on foil kites on snow since 2001 and also on water but as I said , one need a decent beach to launch a foil kite , winter no problem . On the other hand , foil kites 15 meters and up are verrrrry slow and a little boring . This does not mean that huge lei are way better but I can drift launch them easy here .
I still have 5 ozone foils , three closed cells and 2 opened ones . The HL UL 12 can be drited launch quite easely if no weeds around but Chronos V2 and R1V2 need a nice beach , numerous bridles like weeds a lot ....
