I have a 2020 14.5 Flite....Have you flown the new Aluula version??? Is it noticeably faster and lighter??

Noticably faster and lighter yes.
It's turning speed is more like the 12m.

Try the current model Ocean Rodeo Roam if you get an opportunity. Great wave and foil kite, one of the lightest three strutters on the market.

I was quite surprised to see the kite behavior at the beginning of the video when tested on the ground where it overflies the guy and loses line tension... Same with the comment at the end that both models tested have an « i love you - i hate you » feeling in the bar... i guess he means non consist...

So....how does it differ from razor.? It definitely drifts much better than the Razor.

Over a year is a long time. it gets shorter as you get older (even though 2021 kites are only 6 or so months away before dealer showings etc. ) but that wasn't the question: I wonder, how come no other brand even mentions that they will be making aluula kites? they probably could buy the same mater...

Perhaps waiting to see what happens in the market, perha...

That brings up another point, aluula appears to be highly water repellent in some pictures with water beaded up on it vs absorbed somewhat like dacron can do. Can anyone confirm that this is the case? Seems like another potential benefit, although I think someone mentioned the possibility of water ...

But I thought a lot of kites this year were being designed to allow them to twist to help responsiveness and yet this material is claiming to make the frame stiffer? Something just doesn’t add up. Be good to demo one once they are in UK, but I’m not convinced you will get a 12m kite as responsive a...
