Those kites looked like inflatable Flysurfer Speeds, high aspect slow turning with insane hang time but they only made 13m max at that time. Powerful kites like Dyno is not for me especially in those sizes maybe 14m Rebel and get used to the faster turning. I like the idea of a fifth line going out on something big in too much wind for both for stability and safety.
Hey man good to see you here you always have some interesting ideas 'left of the normal' that I like.
No mate you couldn't me more incorrect for airstyle. I thought the same, so I bought both a 16 and an 18m 2011 dyno. The 16m now sits in my shed or I lend it to my 90kg mate, and I'm riding the 18m when he and my brother (83kg) are on the 16..
I'm 73kg, sometimes wet!!
18 depowers better for some bloody reason than the 16. Each session I'm landing everything I try..infact I'm getting so bloody confused now that half way through some 720 board off, flick whatever I forget what I actually intended to do and sometimes I go cock up becuase if it...must be funny to watch. I look forward to the day I don't think and just do whatever comes...lol.
I'm sorry to be firm on the incorrect, but you are I'm afraid. But hey you only know this until you actually get on these kites and fly them. Oh and a small board too.
