Someone who used to ride v2 for years and then got the v3 told me that he doesn’t feel much difference.

Since you already have it, just start with it. You will probably be able use it with surprisingly small kites.

Getting into the straps is the same, getting out when you fall is easier.

Maybe the distance and angle at which you hold full power does not fit and that makes your shoulder cramp up. I have had a problem with my arm when I had the powered up distance too close to my body.

It looks awesome, but keep in mind that this is a glacier and if you check the area on google earth you can see the crevasses which will be covered (a little) by snow in winter. https://m.yo...

When I was there, quite a few years ago, 15 at a guess. Some guy tried telling me kiting wasn't permitted on the beach I was on.
