Thanks Eric, for the follow up on many questions from different forum users :thumb:

It was actually the Hysper2 I was referring to - but there was a mixup in another thread between the kites.
Not important now.

And yes, you make paragliders, thus you have the quality solved, I am not in doubt.

Looking forward to see more regarding how Sky Country kites works :rollgrin:

I just received my New Hysper2 in 14m.
I asked for ultra light 27 Gr cloth, hoping 1400gr (or less...). And its ... less ...
1250 gr on a professional calibrated scale.
Really happy and curious to see its light wind fly limit...

Nice, curious to read your reviews about this hyper light kite weapon.

Tested !

Sorry for the fog in the GoPro casing.... And for the very short session before swim :-)

I have been looking for a kite that can fly with the lowest of wind speed AND that I can fly with it in this wind… but that doesn’t fall jaja

Nice Regis.

It seems like it performs and handles very close to or exactly like the big Peak kites.

Drifts well, not collapsing, turns okay for their size, hangs in less than rideable, smooth but no power spike.

And then added relaunch capabilities when more wind, and probably a higher upper end :thumb:

:thumb: I agree, it might be a bit more stable, a bit lighter, a bit more inertia in the loops and a bit less expensive, so not bad at all.

Regis, your loops seem a bit too small diameter, I think you where stalling the kite some? You have to work on them...

You have to work on them...
"jaja" like you say ; lol ... thanks for the advice ... :D ; as you may have guessed , you can play with the radius value and this is the radius I had chosen at that time, depending on wind feeling and my goal at that moment;-). and also because the Hysper-2 is very "open" and versatile to various loops, so you can do "what you want" with poor consequences :thumb: ; bu ok, if it is to save the kite from going to water or keep it high to catch a bit more wind, you need a short loop even with controlled backstall; if wind gradient is not high or if you are in a ride, you can increase the diameter and get more power; hard to debate on the feeling of the kite by words and my choice of the good balance. :wink: :roll:

I take the opportunity to say that it turns very well, in the following sens:
- no latency compared to double skins
- kite loops well , even with short radius with light backstall of one wing, where the pul remains and you can exit this situation more easily than double skins
- of course like any kite it has more pull for larger loop, but the difference is not that high ; you need to keep a bit of tension on both lines to optimize it (while on double skin, the lighter tension on the outer line, the most efficient loop


Today I tried in extremely light wind on the beach (video to come next week since it takes so much time and 3 video are still waiting for editing , including hysper2-4m in swell); wind was a bit lower that what the Pulsion would have allowed (I would say - 0.5 knots), my friend ( foil teacher and sonic2 user) was not believing it was possible to even launch a foikite (but said "ok, we'll see, this man is plenty of surprise" lol, gentle man) and the kite was still able to get out of its extreme window by turning upward with almost no backstall or very controllable; very intuitive and does not require fine skills. This is easy and "plug and play", with its similar pull downward or upward phase, but on the other hand you cannot not benefit of the higher peak power when kite goes down , which can sometimes be useful for extreme water start... However should a wing tip collapse a bit, it is harder to re-shape the kite than a double skin ...

Peter,
indeed you spoted well , it seems to behaves like a Peak overall ; I mean in comparison with double skins ; I do not have tested the peak4 in 13m , so I cannot report any fine comparison on minimum wind, structure rigidity in lulls, stability or and loop peak power; on the paper, and due to the weight , ratio, and rigidity, I think the Hyper should be more than competitive but nothing would worth more than a back-to-back test... I think Hyper is more fragile , pure feeling.

Very waiting your next videos, please more about 4m as it is more actual for more people.
