Hi all,
I’m not looking to buy any new kites in the next few months but I was thinking about this question for down the track.
I understand that single strut and no strut kites are better than surf kites at low wind flying because they stay in the air in less wind due to less weight but if you are flying in medium to higher wind conditions, do the performance characteristics make flying surf kites better?
If this is the case, wouldn’t you be best to have a quiver of surf kites for medium and strong wind and to have one kite with no or single strut fir that low wind condition.
From what I understand surf kites have better drift, have better stability in the air within their given wind range, can handle more wind, don’t get overpowered as easy and can release more power through sheeting out vs single/no strut kites.
Interested to hear everyone’s views. Thanks in advance for your input…
