Looks great but I would never trust my life with the build quality from Panish. What wing size and windspeed?

Re: I prefer Hybrids over Peaks, and it’s not only because of relaunch.

Should have tried the Peak5. Drifts/holds shape much better than the 4th gen. I'll take slightly more difficult drift ability over a non responsive kite.

Re: The Hybrid from Flysurfer

This is relevant if you have to land solo in high winds without a helper of a catcher or a wind shadow. Sometimes you cannot avoid a tangle in those situations. Basically, landing a Peak or Hybrid in a wind shadow - or very light wind - avoids most problems with tangling. If it lands on a windswept...

Re: The Hybrid from Flysurfer

I've never had a tangle with the Hybrid. If you keep your leader lines pulled over the leading edge/front of the kite and roll everything else inside the kite you shouldn't have any tangles. When you set up have the kite trailing edge with sand on it directly downwind, take the lines which you put ...

Re: The Hybrid from Flysurfer

It's very rare for Flysurfer to put the next version out so quickly. Last time was when they put out the Sonic2 in like a years time. Pissed bunch of people off. I wouldn't expect a Hybrid2 till next fall at the earliest and that would be if there's some new fabric which I haven't heard anything abo...

Re: The Hybrid from Flysurfer

I'm curious, with the increasing options for hybrid single skin kites, if there's a consensus on which is closest to a water relaunching peak (v4/v5). Off the top there's Firefly, Marabou, Alma and Hybrid. Anything come close to having a similar mix of drift/power spike in the loops? Wife is genera...

Re: Hybrid Flysurfer

why you say that, maybe it didn't backstall totally, it wants always relaunching. I would like a quite kite, super stable, relaunch, not heavy. Two years a go I had peak 13 super kite, but relaunch in deep water was very difficult, never successful in two years. The hybrid I think is the best for o...

Re: The Hybrid from Flysurfer

It seems the 2.5 and 3.5 are excellent, and have the "Peak" quailities somewhat intact in terms of acceleration and spike? And then from 5.5 and up it goes down the drain abruptly, just like Peaks over 6 m2, no fun... Makes sense :wink: 8) Peter No...while I haven't flown the 3.5m, I have flown the...

Re: The Hybrid from Flysurfer

Got a quick edit done of a Hybrid 2.5m session I did last month down here in SPI. I was VERY underpowered...around 20kts and decreasing. I would say this is the ultimate low end for me on this size and I wasn't able to stay upwind. Good video though to see how it handles and what works/doesn't work ...
