Hi ! I'm looking ahead to get a 19 LEI , so far I found these two kites on the used market near me , is there anybody who had the opportunity to demo these two ? Thanks .

Think about to buy a foil kite too...

Guigassa , this is to replace and try to get rid of an Ozone R1V2 19 that I can't use because lack of a decent beach . I drift launch 100 percent . Foil kites are for winter on the snow at my spot .

I ended up buying the Core Xr4 19 , Thanks .

Ok!
But give a chance to a closed cell to use on the water, maybe you change your opinion, if not, that’s ok, it’s your preference... i am saying that because i surrender to the foil kites for ligth wind and own a speed 3 21m and is really a dream kite.... for me, more than 14m only a foil...

Guigassa , I understand your point of view and I appreciate your help , I have been on foil kites on snow since 2001 and also on water but as I said , one need a decent beach to launch a foil kite , winter no problem . On the other hand , foil kites 15 meters and up are verrrrry slow and a little boring . This does not mean that huge lei are way better but I can drift launch them easy here .
I still have 5 ozone foils , three closed cells and 2 opened ones . The HL UL 12 can be drited launch quite easely if no weeds around but Chronos V2 and R1V2 need a nice beach , numerous bridles like weeds a lot ....

A matter of preference... I think you can lounch and land whith few space, but of course if you prefer lei you did well, and the new big leis are really better than the ones of a few years ago...
But what really matters is what fits better, hope you be satisfied, and with a core sure you do!!
