Can you believe it, got my new Psycho2s and the first to use one was a friend of mine. He was out on a 13m Fuel 2004 and then grabbed my 10m Psycho2 (I didn't put on my wetsuit as I thought I just play around on the beach with it).
Looking at him riding it I was laughing to myself. The kite seemed almost too fast for him as it turned with hardly any bar pressure and then just screemed around the window during jibes to be ready for action and waiting patiently on the other side. Luckily the new Psycho2s are so stable that even with rusty LEI flyer skills it won't drop.
So what did he think.
He was impressed to say the least. Extremely fast turning, hardly any bar pressure, tiny bar and so easy to ride out gusts with, especially compared to his Fuel.
I can feel another purchase coming on for him. Or have we lost him for good to the dark side.
Anyway anybody interested in a 13m and a 17m Fuel 2004 get in touch with me anyway, he just needs a good offer to change.

Hey JD, any idea of the windrange of the PIIs.
I'm thinking 10 PII = 12-28 knots, 13m PII = 10-20 knots, 17m PII =7/8-17/18 knots, or more or less the same range as 12, 16 and 20m leis
Wadya reckon?

Jo,
I think the 17 will likely go a lot higher than 17kn. The P1 15.5 was managable at 21/22 so I guess the p2 17 will go that far and the 13 will likely go to at least 24. The vid that you posted the other day was interesting because it didn't have any monster jumps in it. Strange!

Hi Mike, yeah what I'd really like to see is a vid of the 17
