I was quite curious when a friend reseller told me that he discovered Sky Country from Ukraine, and after a short chat , I decided to give it a try and took the risk to buy one, based on its features:
- double skin foilfkite
- free ride with limited aspect ration (5.5) , like Pulsion, Frs, etc ...
- light weight despite the 36 gr cloth.
- competitive price below the majors
- good result of this company in a snow kite very famous race (1st place with a race model)
So I aked for special order : a 12m spirit2 with 32 gr cloth (not 27 gr since it will not be my marginal wind kite)
Order mid - July, received mid October ...
I have put it in the air this afternoon in very light wind 4-6 knots; it is very encouraging and flies very well in marginal wind ...
Loop in smooth, very stable: it drifts well in lulls and keep its shape when going downward with full slack-lines. I love this feature. Loop is powerful comparable to a pulsion ;
I give it a try "just to see" on my 1200 cm2 hydrofoil, despite my friend on the beach betting that will not succeed with a 12m( foil teacher)
After several loops, It worked, I had to pump, ok, even foil UP and in straight line , so it was just for the challenge ... 100 m then and I get back to the beach, dry kite; i was impressed .
So for now I can just tell that the low end is excellent, that is is stable and seems a easy kite in light wind
