First session on an Airush Sector 60 V2 race board 2012 model. It goes upwind so easy and downwind like a demon! Stable too.

I am not jibing yet, but the extra flotation would appear to make this easier to compared to a surfboard.

My Comments: I am pretty small guy. 60kg and I used a 130 TT. I just got hold of the Airush Varial xRace 10M yesterday. As i have using delta kite Airush Lithum 10m for most of past 2 years, I am just not use to this more c kite design. Very narrow and broad. Mush harder to self launch compare to Lithium. Need may be lot more wind to launch. It need more wind to get going as well compare to Lithium. Generally fully powered at about 15kts. Kite is really stable and fast and very easy to control. Did a few forward and backward loops with kite loops. Kite loop nicely with constant power. Fairly more lift than the Lithium which i find surprising as I do get lots of airtime with Lithium already. Requires more work when wind is gusty and light.. But you could feel the power and harness it easier than Lithium..Definately for advance kiter who is looking to do radical freestyle tricks...
