Flysurfer Speed 5 15 in 11 to 15 Knots

Postby haiku » Wed Jan 18, 2017 10:22 am

Hi. Here's a short video showing some sessions I had with the Flysurfer Speed 5 dlx+ 15 in 11 to 15 Knots. It's a very forgiving and easy kite to fly and relaunch, lift and hang time are both excellent. One of the best quality of this kite is a huge wind range, way better than the previous model (SP4 Lotus). The infinity 3.0 airstyle bar with a very functional swivel is very simple and practical. IMHO the best FS Speed ever made :thumb: .

Cheers

Carlo

I hope the infinity 3.0 airstyle bar will be available with a clamcleat soon...
THEN everything is perfect! ;-)

Love my Flysurfer Speed 5 21m. Although I have not flown foil kites before, this kite turns as fast if not faster than my 16m xbow. The floaty jumps are great. I can ride in as little as 8 knots on a 135x46 TT (I am 90 kg).

Thanks Armin. The new airstyle bar with Clamcleat will be a great upgrade; besides, two days ago I had my very first LW session with the new Sonic 2 15 ......simply fantastic :D :thumb: ! A FS Speed 5 15 with steroids.

Cheers

Hi - great video and air style tricks. Looking at a used speed5 does the speed 5 work with a north 4 line bar or do I need a specific foil bar? Thanks
