So the 2021 race season is over and the racers are swapping out their old gear. Time to grab some good quality, discounted equipment!
Looking at the Ozone R1V4 and the Flysurfer VMG2, which would you prefer strictly for racing and race training?
I'm a new racer, pretty solid on the gybes but only 30% success on the tacks. I've heard the R1V4 is a bit easier to handle, but the VMG2 provides lift for days (ie, more time to get the feet situated on the tacks.) My goal here is to train hard, fix my tacking and beat last place in the odd race.
I do crash the kite once in a while when I trip up the foil at speed, but no problems keeping the kite flying while under control. I've got a year of high aspect foil kiting under my belt with the Mike's Lab under my feet.
There's plenty of info online about the pros, but nothing about the cons when comparing these kites. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
