I'm just coming back from a session where the wind went from side to offshore. biggest problem I found is when the wind drops or gets ultra gusty (usually with offshore winds) wing does not slog good enough to come back to shore safely. In the end I came back to shore but 2-3 km away from the starti...
My feelings are quite the opposite, I had the ozone edge before and I found it had too much power on gusts to be comfotable in high winds. Switched to enduro and never regreted it, the fast turning compensates the lack of power, but like a mate said before, you have to downloop to land, which is so ...
I really love my Shin Ronson. I find it is a bit power hungry, due to the relstively high rocker, I think, but is so gentle with you in messed up kiteloops that lead to bad landings.
That way it inspires you the confidence that you are not going to destroy yourself in the next attempt.
I use a 873 for winging also with a kite mast I think, but mine is 71cm. I don' think there is any durability problem with a too flexy mast, but from pros I heard that has more instability. The force you get from the wing is far weaker than the power you get from the kite, so I think you also apply ...
I have both and if you compare to inflatable ozones, soul is an foil edge+enduro, and hyperlink is a foil enduro, so stable, good turning speed and average boost.
The plus the hyperlink has vs soul is that it could be ridden in open cell mode, so is my go to snowkite.
I have both soul and hyperling, 15m and 9 respectively, and soul is the best foil kite I have ever flown, is insanely sable, so you can jump with 0 bow tie worries. It' so powerful also maybe too much for my taste sometimes, because paired with a foil you can ride until nobody is left on the beach a...
