Yea the Sonic FR 18 is a pretty heavy pig. I thought about getting the Sonic2 since it’s a hell of a lot lighter but I really like the FR so really havnt has the need. It’s amazing how easily that kite untangled itself and was fast enough to loop. Gotta love that 2nd lift in a jump.kitejumping wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 4:07 pmThe Sonic FR 18m was my favorite kite, until I got a Peter Lynn Aero 20m ultralight. That kite stays in the air in no wind and has insane power and speed. Looking forward to the Aero v2 21m ultralight. I haven't flown any flysurfers newer than the FR or speed5 but the Aero v1 was better in every category other than inflation time compared to my flysurfers, the new v2 aero they added more inflation vents so I imagine that issue is fixed. The only ozone kites I've seen in person are the LEIs and beginner foils and any race kite will run circles around those.
2 weeks ago we had a 17m Aero. At the beginning it was realy good. The lightest barforces I've ever had.kitejumping wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 4:07 pmThe Sonic FR 18m was my favorite kite, until I got a Peter Lynn Aero 20m ultralight.

Not able to fly in what way? I've only had to relaunch mine once in water and it did it super easy, but I had it in the air about 5 seconds after it touched the water. Most of my riding is on snow so never fully tested its water relaunch abilities.Nem0 wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 8:50 pm2 weeks ago we had a 17m Aero. At the beginning it was realy good.

BUT...after a short rain it was not able to fly anymore! A kite which is not allowed to get wet is not good for kitesurfing!?!
What bits and pieces? Can't understand these people swapping the bar for an Ozone bar of all things -- that'd be like replacing your leather steering wheel with a broken shovel handle.downunder wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 3:46 pmYes, there is. But there is a price of 450 Euros even for the v3.
I like the FS bar, but only when I removed all bits and pieces I didn't like. But, I'm picky. Armin replied, like, it takes time. I haven't got the time.
Also, on the LEI front, I've compared Edge v7 and Boost2 - exactly the same shape in cm. Exactly. The only difference are struts position, and small details. But, my Boost1 LE exploded near the strut. And, not only one v1, as reported.

First of all: it was the normal version not ultralight.kitejumping wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 9:24 pmNot able to fly in what way?
