You really can’t compare the prices with used kite. Even for that pansh is much cheaper. I just ordered a 5Genisis for 120 to the doorstep for foiling. You can’t find any kite for 120 which still flies. I am not investing in a high wind kite I rarely use but 120 come on - I even can use as beach trainer kite for my buddies - what a deal.

The genesis model looks interesting as basic foil kite for use freerideing on hydrofoil.
I'd be interested in hearing about anyone using the 6 or 5m and
how it flies, wind range.
I have a hyperlink 7m and a concept air 4,5m there's a bit of gap between the two. Thinking a 6m.

Is Pansh owned by Flysurfer? Allowing people an easy stepping stone into foil kites, great marketing ploy if they are.

If people buy a pansh as first kite and think that is what foil kites fly like, then they are likely to never buy another foil kite even again. Lol.

You could go cheap and if it doesn’t work get something else.
