This is also why I sold my ex peak4, after a bad situation I lived when not beeing able to relaunch and kite drown partially underwater in small waves.

Hard to say about its relaunch reliability, and I do not want to put my kite in the water on purpose... (since I suspect it should kite never end in the water) ;
what I can just tell you is "in favor" of its relaunch:
- closed LE clearly provide a huge buoyancy, so I do not expect to see the wing tips go underwater with the pulleys like on peak and act as a underwater anchor
- Bozzo experienced several relaunch ; I think he experienced once not to relaunch, I do not recall the reason why, but several relaunch with no particular method
- this kite is initially designed for beginners, relaunch should be in its genes...
- closed cells prevent water to be rapidly catch in the kite following one mistake once kite in the water.
IMO it relaunch easily provided that there is decent wind ; under 9 knots, I suspect double skin to have more chance to water relaunch because they offer twice more surface exposed to the wind when laid on the water.
I also believe that Hysper to keep flying more easily than double skin AND peak due to higher stiffness in full lulls. it is just a personal assumption for now, to be confirmed.
And how is with flapping of Hysper? Much less than on Peak4? Or in general no substantial flapping on Hysper?Regis-de-giens wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 6:26 pmthe smaller , the faster ;
no, seriously I do not think there is enough feed back today... In the coming weeks I will be able to compare the 'm with 8m and with 14m, but cannot compare with peaks.
But in the first order : it should be similar as the peak relative evolution with the size.
