Can someone compare me the boost to the edge?

Particularly interested in the 7m size.

Hi,

I flew the boost 11m in 25 knots last summer, really nice kite, feels very similar to the Edge but it does wander a little as you are flying it as it has very light bar pressure.

The boost loops better than the edge by a small amount and jumps pretty much the same.

nice kite!

Thanks Tone. Do you foresee any issues rigging a boost to a ozone bar?

Edge forever.... In all size...

The question was to compare these two kites!?!

Uh sorry. I try only 18 and 11boost...edge 17 and 11...edge forever.. Small size i cant say but edge its i think 10 years evolution..boost 1 or 2 years maybe in the future become better than edge..

I think one of the big differences between the two will be the trailing edge bridal available on the boost in sizes 11m and up. Supposedly this improves the low end and relaunchability, but I can't speak from experience.

I try the 18 with and without estension line... For me same range as 17edge...edge more upwind.. Boost better downwind.. For li

For Light Wind better 19edge

In strong wind all new kites are good...less difference in small size...the difference is when wind very light and u can see if the kite are good or not...thats why in race use edge...
