That has somewhat confused my desire for a Chrono V3 UL, although the lack of a 13m may still push me towards the Chrono - being a skinny git 15m is going to be too big for my light wind needs methinks...

The forum is very slow these days and presumably there's a video to watch but I cant see anything.

Okay, FS nice video and great looking kite. My first Flysurfer was a 12m SpeedAir and I have owned every model of FS since that time. So, yes I am a loyal fan.

Please help us understand exactly why you introduced the Soul. I thought it might be a kite between the Speed and the Sonic, but the AR is lower than the Speed 5. So, I am uncertain as to how this kite compares to the Speed 5 and/or Sonic 2.

If I am happy with my quiver of Speed 5’s (9, 12, 21) and Sonic2 (15 & 18). Why should I buy a Soul? Who is your target consumer? Loyal FS customers or LEI kiters that are nervous about foils or both?

What is it that makes the Soul special beyond a simpler mixer, one line relaunch, and more bar feedback? Is it more stable, have better range, turn better, and/or boost better than a Speed 5?

Thanks much!

Fernmanus, good questions :clap: which I'd also like to see answers. I hope if "chat" mentioned by Armin is going to happen @ KF we get the answers to these questions. My guess is that Soul = Psycho 5.

Meanwhile new videos from team riders and shops.

Lolo BSD: (also has clips with LEI on below video???)
