UKSurf wrote:Why did Momi design an inferior kite for Blade? I honestly think this claiming your kites are superior to everyone else's will only backfire. If it is better at one thing then it will be worse at something else, most people appreciate that kite design these days is about finely balanced trade-offs NOT one kite being better than another.Dimitri M wrote:The difference from the INFINITY V2 vs the FAT LADY is that the INFINITY v2 turns faster and has better pop. But the power is piratically the same after testing them.
Now the INFINITY V3 is something different.

.... then many tube kites still will be ahead of FL 2013
Size does matter...to milk low end...or to be really powered in true 8kn (7-8-9) max wind speed
Zeeko Notus ULW 21 m2.......Core Riot XR2LW 19m2....Ozone Edge LW 19m2....Dyno 18m2......
....Cabrinha Crossbow LW 18m2
So it is better to compare that kite to all the smaller 17m2 kites out there.....like V2 or V3...etc
....to test the upwind speed ability...or simply low end planing on beam reach
So keep your SUP...Foilboard...Wide Raceboard with dagger fins at home.....
...and test side by side with all those bigger kites...and you might end up in 6th place

YES I surely meant ABILITY......Pump me up wrote:

But ... Supa... probably meant to say "ability to stay upwind" rather than "upwind ability"...?
Two different meanings.
"Ability to stay upwind" = kite generating enough power for the rider to not drift off downwind.
"Upwind ability" = kite's ability to go upwind. i.e. Kites with a shallower luff curve can point higher than kites with a deep luff curve.
