You are right.
My friends 6s are fairly new and not used much, so should be perfect for comparison.

Still prefer the Soul over the Peak though for at the very least that I know I will be able to relaunch it. With the Peaks I find myself more cautious and won't push myself to progress because I don't want to risk swimming in. Also the Souls greatly out preforms the Peak in everything else. And when it comes down to it, I can do everything I want to do with Peak with my Soul, it's just a little more difficult to do it.
And what kites do you have along it ?
I'm waiting to see but the only real benifit I will see with the leading edge is relaunching. I think we will see a decrease in drift performance due to this and honestly, that's the whole point of the Peak. Remember, Flysurfer started out with the original Peak proto WITH the dual skin leading edge and determined it didn't preform as well and went the direct it did.geron wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 4:33 pmI do think that a hybrid is going to be better for water. It wont relaunch if a wave goes through it in shore-brake but it will make you feel more confident to try new tricks (because it will relaunch in a normal (not waves) session. (even though it has hardly touched the water)
I have the Hysper 6m and has more wind range than the peak4 5m (more high end than the peak in 5m), it is very fast and easy to loop and the drift is fantastic.
More wind range and the ability to water relaunch makes a lot of difference. I have also found that it is as easy as the peak to self launch and land on the beach.
I'm sorry what kite do you mean Hysper 6m? I haven't found such in google. Do you mean Crazyfly hyper? probably not?geron wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 4:33 pmI do think that a hybrid is going to be better for water.

Pretty weird opinion when for once there is significant changes compared to earlier version and you can even see they make kite better.Adventure Logs wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 1:04 amHonestly I think this generation update is a lot like the Soul1 -> Soul2. The biggest improvement will be the new cloth and there are little tweaks here and there which give slight advantages over the last generation. For the most part, we aren't going to be seeing any major changes because that's going to change how the kite flies. Personally I'm happy that Flysurfer didn't just add the leading edge to this gen and will instead put out a hybrid in the future. That leading edge is going to change how the kite behaves and I don't think it will be for the best.

Kitexpert, do you even own a Peak or rode one?kitexpert wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 9:48 pm
LIke I said earlier cloth is not very important factor especially in SS kite which relies so much on line support and stiffeners to keep it in shape.
Even if single skin kite was made 200g dacron it wouldn't make it not to flutter when depowered, because there is no rigidity then. There is no structure, just a fabric and loose lines
There is a risk in hybrid kites they combine bad properties of both foil kites and single skin kites in one kite. Structurally hybrids get closer to LEI kite
