Re: Peak4 - Hype or Hydrofoil? Video Review

It's an interesting question: Whether the Peak 8 meter can be one's light wind kite. I am trying to make it work as such but I am currently not convinced. My current LW (7-8 knots) kite is a Pulsion 12. It just has more grunt and LIFT during water starts than the Peak 8 meter. I can get the Peak started if I have plenty of deep enough water down wind but when the wind is mostly onshore, I much prefer the Pulsion. Once foiling, the Peak 8 is much more fun and turning speed is very acceptable (it's what you would expect from a bigger 5 meter Peak). It also hangs in the air better than the Pulsion. I use 27 meter lines with both kites. I need a Peak 9 meter or 9.5 meter.
