We just made a small adaption to the SOUL package. We decided to sell the wing with two bags during the 2019 season and give the customer a small additional incentive.

Cheers, Armin.
Is this additional bag already included in Souls sold right now? I'm about to order Soul 15m right now.

People complained about control bar. Can Soul be flown on different bar like cabrinha trimlite?
I picked up a 6m a couple weeks ago and mine came with the extra bag. It's the old style bag you use to get Speeds. Nice bag but huge. You can most likely fit 3 Soul kites in it.

Any bar system with equal length lines and a front line safety will work. Just make sure the safety releases at least half the length of the foil.

I picked up a 6m a couple weeks ago and mine came with the extra bag. I thought it was because I didn't like the new bag in my youtube review. It's the old style bag you use to get with Speeds/Sonic. Nice bag but huge. You can most likely fit 3 Soul kites in it but in my opinion, it's much more usable.

as a long time lurker that primarily uses this site for feedback/reviews of gear(and also the kitespots)....
i will say that i didn't make flysurfer souls(a 6m&12m) my first two foil kites because of any cheerleaders for a product or even the wealth of information in this thread....it was seeing the developer actively participating (and giving tech support?) here.

cheers and i've been very pleased with my souls.

also, is a Core Sensor 2S a bad idea to use with flysurfer foils?
..i believe it is a "high Y" control bar. (i havent tried with the 6...yet)

Nice hear that younger happy with youn SOUL.
As smaller the wingspan as less a Y will have an effect.
With the 6 should be no issue.

Thank you, Armin.

Guys last question for 92kg rider on TT mainly (hydro foil in planned in future) Soul 12m or 15m? I would like Soul to be my LW kite from 10kts to 20kts. I have sb 10m which I will use for +20kts.
I was leaning towards 15m as people are able to ride soul up to 22kts on TT.

def.15m. My weight is around 86kg and i have a 12 Soul wich i can use from around 14kn for cruising. Bought me a Sonic2 15m for more fun in that range. So i think a 15m will suit you perfectly.

Cheers

Awsome thanks for answers, my sb 14m starts to let me go from 14kts hence I would overlap it range with soul 12m going with 15m then

If it's mainly for TT, 15m all the way. I've taken mine up to 25kts and have hit 12.7 meters on my woo with it. I'm thinking about selling mine though since I hydrofoil now during lighter winds and it's really too large for that.

Agreed... even on my race foil (which takes more kite power than a freeride foil), I start to feel overpowered around 12kn on the 15m Soul.
