i can't seem to pull up any threads that compare these 2,,, maybe i am not searching right ,, but i have very specific questions for someone who has a lot of time on both
i only have time on the chrono v3 11m, it is my new light wind kite.
will the hyperlink park at zenith,, or a little off zenith like the chrono,, i find it very nice the way i can put it at 11 or 1 and it just follows me with no bar input hardly and with very little pull
is the hyperlink as "powerful" or effective in very light wind? does it generate the same amount of power when say downlooping for a water start
i can only assume the hyperlink is more stable, correct? i find the chrono to be a little sketchy in switchy gusty winds,, like any high aspect type kite, especially foil kites in general, even easy ones like the soul (don't get me wrong, i really like the v3)
how much longer will the hyperlink float on the water than the chrono?
there appears to be a bit of a time limit to relaunch the v3,,, is the hyperlink easier to relaunch?
has anyone successfully, relaunched either kite after releasing to safety, watched it flag out onto the water,, in deep water, ,and get lines sorted out and relaunch? seems unlikely ( i understand this is a common issue with foils,, i am not being negative about this chrono,,, love it,,,just wondering if SOMEONE out there in world can do this consistently) i rarely dump my kite but doubt if i could relaunch it after a full flag out
will the hyperlink have more grunt? clearly, it will not point upwind as well as a high aspect kite, which is no big deal with a foil board.
which will drift better? i have almost gotten the chrono to fall out of the sky a few times by riding towards in a turn,,,i have learned to keep some bar pressure when going straight down wind,, or anywhere really
how does the bar pressure compare? i love the light bar pressure of the chrono
has anyone switched from chrono to hyperlink and would never go back? or vice versa?
my riding style is old dude cruising and trying to glide with wind swell and carve on it
i mean,, i am very, very surprised i love this 11m v3,,,just wondering if the hyperlink is better,, i would defintely not let a beginner start off on a chrono v3
i am on a 1150 front wing foil (north sonar) and a 120 cm dwarfcraft,,, lots of foil kite experience,, i like to optimistically think i am just barely a intermediate foil boarder
