How Soul can drift better than Ultra if Soul its further on windows edge? My understanding is that doubleskin foil kite drift worst than LEI due to their position on WW?
I'm going for Ultra 10m as I have 20-40% discount on them depending on year but as it was already suggested first I need to get hold of Moses Onda.
It there a much value in auto-untwist in kite for foiling? I have it on mine core bar and on TT its very handy but I'm not sure how important it is while foiling? It looks as while foiling you don't need lines untwisted so quick.
Had airush bar in my hands once it was 2020 and it seems very heavy.
Don't get me wrong, the ultra is a great kite. I suspected a good deal from a local shop would be the motivation. I reckon you would be very happy with it. Its just that as this is a Flysurfer soul thread, I thought I would point out alternative options that might work for you just as well.
The soul is lighter so you can backstall it to help it drift. It also recovers more cleanly than my ultra. This might be because I fly my ultra on 28m lines - but essentially I mean the soul recovers from slack line tension a lot more easily. I'm kind of splitting hairs here because they are both very good compared to something like the XR6.

but why would he need an Airush bar for the Ultra? Any bar would work. Although I have the Ozone bar, sometimes I fly the Alpha with a clickbar. Ozone and Duotone use the same connection knots/loops combination but I also have a Bandit that bought without the bar. When I use the Bandit, is just a matter of rotating the front line pigtails and slide the Y closer to the bar. In 10 seconds the bar is ready.
Not necessarily an Airush bar but one with a low V split.
The Core bars are high Y split and have a funny quick release that isn't single front line but isn't dual front line either. It MIGHT work but I'm not going to suggest someone else try it in case they get injured. The flysurfer bar will have short lines (compared to Airush's standard line length) though I hadn't realised the M bar was adjustable width and could be used with the 15m soul so it might be fine with line extensions?
