Re: Given (2) Sonic 2 Kites.. 11m and 21m & Need Advice

Why don’t you try them and decide for yourself? The 21m should allow you to ride better powered in light wind compared to a 15m Soul. However, you may not need it depending on the wind at your local spot. The 11m Sonic is really popular for foiling. It is going to allow you to go upwind and ride at...

What advice do you need?
Weather they truly have a place in my existing quiver. I have a Peak 4 6m and 8m and a new FS Soul 2 15m. I am around 100KG and I only foil.

Given (2) Sonic 2 Kites.. 11m and 21m Race. Need Advice

Is there anyone out there who could give me advice about these kites. A wealthy buddy of mine gave them to me as he only wings now. I have flown both of them on the beach. I also have Peak 6m and 8m and a newer Flysurfer 15m version 2. I want to see if they have a place in my quiver or should i sell...

Re: Soul 2 15m Low Wind Advice

Longer lines and a longer bar will help you get the most out of the Soul 15m bottom end. You are a big boy so a little larger board will help with the planning as well. Looping to start is the key. Not sure how you sunk a kite because of a broken line but my suggestion is to practice recoveries a c...

90kg, 633, Soul 15 5-7 knots. Above use Soul 10.
if the 15 flies, I can foil. If the 10 flies, foiling not guaranteed. Recommend 60cm bar for the 15. makes looping so much easier, never have to grab the lines….
I use the force control bar in the Large size.

Re: Soul 2 15M Low Wind Advice

Soul 12 is my most used kite for foiling. At the gusty lake but also used at the sea. I am 75kg with a 1200 frontwing. Use it far below 10 knots. A bit heavier friend of me uses a soul 15 in the same conditions. When it is constant low wind then a dry soul will stay much longer in the air than you ...

Foil or planing board?
Armstrong 2050 mostly. Have a 2400 that I started on and just haven't gotten around to selling since I think it maybe has a little more lift and might be a better fit on the lowest of days....

Soul 2 15m Low Wind Advice

I had been using a Pulsion 12M as my low wind kite along with a bigger board for days under 10. I am 100KG. Unfortunately, I ended up too far out at sea when a broken line put her in the water, and she now lives in Davey Jones's locker. I got a bro deal from a friend on a 1 time used Soul 2 15 m and...

As written, sand at the tip only, but all the way from the TE to the LE and not folded, like this:
So what does everyone do if they are somewhere that a side launch is the only option when it comes time to land? Asking for a friend. ;) I always hot launch where I ride.
