Kite looping in 10-13 knots?

[PullStrings]

you are correct Poacher...after spending $$ 64.95 for that pump NO way your credit card can handle $$$$ 3349.00 USD more for that 12m kite only

[POACHER]

Holy shit I thought you were joking about the $3,349.00 kite only.



You're not. wow....

Nope its true, but as you can see they jump four times higher and loops twice as fast in half the wind

The Rise doesn't have the low end to jump that high in 13kn. I suspect it's closer to 17-18kn.

For perspective, MJ uses an 11m Orbit and a big board in 17kn to do this.

[Toby]

Maybe if they had an 18 one could jump that high in 10-13 knots

Anything is possible with Aluula, here DT claims that 85kg rider kite ride on TT in 6-8kts

[PullStrings]

@ Solarset...ha ha the 85kg dude on TT Spike said 6-7 kn not 6-8

Same dude 85 kg on Foilboard can dive the kite in 4kn of wind and has power to get plenty of pull on his strings to get going

Come on look at the location....the water is still cold there making the wind dense and powerful

Springtime winds that are gradient cannot be used to promote BS marketing claims and it's only a 15m LEI

Do the same test in the dead heat of summer with warmer water and you'll go nowhere...ha ha

Hey where was the windmeter to measure the magic wind ?? ha ha

I demoed a 14.5 Flite Aluula 2022 a few days ago in very light wind probably close to that 10 to 13 knots a bit below that in the lulls. It is the best light wind kite that I have ever flown it's flawless it's quick for it's size and jumps really well in so little wind. The flite can probably jump that high in 13 knots but it's a light wind machine it's powerful and very responsive for a big kite.

Given the fact that the Rise is a big air kite designed to be able to handle very strong wind those kites typically don't have a lot of low-end power therefore I also find this claim hard to believe. Having said that the Aluula does make a better kite IMO it's stiffer lighter and more responsive also smoother in handling guts. If the price wasn't so crazy I would get one but I'm almost always foiling in this type of low wind anyway..

No.

Just noticed something, when she's taking the reading the wind meter is in front of cameraman directly downwind so it's in a wind shadow. When moving away the reading shoots up. Clearly stronger wind than what shown.
Nice distraction though
