Re: quest for a foil kite in 10m

Then why not consider a Sonic 2? Special edition comes with the same fabric and bridle thickness as the soul. Because I impaciently am waiting for the Sonic 3. :D And my brother just sold his Sonic 2 just a year ago, and back then I wasn't that much into foiling so a race kite didn't make much senc...

Re: New F-one Halo. Any more info about this kite?

Hi ronniejamesgio, as far I can see with the given information I don't think it is about the kite: It could be just about the bar, its flying lines and their combination with use and sand. It looks like there is a ripped of frontline at the bars splice. At this point sand enjoys to enter into the s...

Re: New F-one Halo. Any more info about this kite?

That is a seriously damaged kite but still repairable. What I can see from the pictures line attachment points don't look very strong, this is probably because nowadays kites should be light weight and also cheaply produced. Details in reinforcements are costly because foil kite like Halo has dozen...

Re: quest for a foil kite in 10m

And why not get a Soul 10? High aspect ratio can work well with the twintips (see a flysurder Sonic 2 for example), the question you shouldbe asking is if the bridles that come with the Diablo 4 and the Areo V2 can whistand the higher tension generated by the load of a twintip. If I were you, and m...

Re: New F-one Halo. Any more info about this kite?

So, after being really satisfied with a Halo 10m, the kite had had an incident, or however you wanna call it. The kite and bar were less than a month old when it happened. I have to say in advance, that I am in contact with F-one, though the first response was that they will not take any resposibili...

Re: quest for a foil kite in 10m

Yeah that'd be nice, but even with growing up I have to sew together the Halo since it couldn't stand the pressure on three lines, so the kite got ripped in three places where the lines are attached... :lol:
But all that does not have to do with my previous questions...

Re: quest for a foil kite in 10m

Yes I know that the Nova is totally different and thats why I'm so torn, since I love all the things a high aspect ratio kite can give you when with a foil, but at the same time I love freeriding on TT with a Soul or Halo... Therefore my main questions are: are high aspect ratio kites any good for T...

quest for a foil kite in 10m

Hey guys I need help to decide for my next kite purchase. So my last kite was the F-one Halo in 10m, which, after falling in love with it tragicly, let me down badly. But that's another story for another post. Now I'm glaring over three kites basically, which are: Peter Lynn Aero V2 Peter Lynn Nova ...

Re: New F-one Halo. Any more info about this kite?

Since I have not heard much about this kite except negative reviews by people who havent really seen or tried the kite, I'm going to put my 2 cents in, after flying the Halo now around three times or so;) And also, does anyone know why F-one does not seem to care in promoting this kite? Except that ...
