Hi guys,

Who has got info about the soon-to-be released Speed3?

From what I gathered so far, it will :
- be initially released in size 12, 15 and 19 (it is designed to be a light wind weapon before all)
- available sometimes in September in Europe
- come in 2 versions: Deluxe (lighter fabric for low wind perf) or standard
- have the triple depower technology already found on the Psycho4 (with change of projected area)
- have the nice infinty bar already found on the Psycho4

Any info about pricing and availability dates for Australia?

Here are some pix of the beast





bye

Jest if you must Bennie, but I'm very interested in one of these bad boys in a 19m for a light wind weapon.

Dude are you asking Qs or posting pimpedness?

For a bloke wanting to (aledgedly) know, you have a lot of info to and pics to offer.

At least be honest if you want to purvey your whares..




Ahh.. the old doona gag, just never grows tired. Personally I have always found myself tangled in the 1000+ bridle by the morning.

Dear getfunky, feel free not to take part of this thread if you are not interested, no one would hold it against you.

I have a strong passsion for kitesurfing and kites, that's all mate. If I know things then I like to share them with people who might be interested too (obviously not with you), and I'd love others to provide additional info too (I am especially after release dates + price info! and low-end vs. Speed2), this is a kitesurfing forum right?

That's what Armin wrote two days ago:
"Hi

Increased turning is one of the main points. SPEED3 19.0 and SPEED2 will be quite close in terms of turning.
But as we are still in the very final testing and tuning with different protos I can´t say it more accurate at that stage. I will be from tomorrow on out for testing and tuning for min. 10 days again.

Bye, Armin"

If you're not a Sumo you ought to consider the 15, you'll probably get pretty much the same bottom end but sportier turning.

Jacques, if Foilzone doesn't have the info, I doubt you'll find anything here, well, maybe a sleeping bag or two.

Anyone interested in second hand Speed 10 and Pulse 10? Cheep cheep?

yeah I can see that some people here have a fair bit of interest about sleeping bags, not that much about kites, nevermind

The Speed is a light wind kite. Mostly for mowing the lawn for folks who just love being out there, not sitting on the beach waiting. When the wind picks up they become more like a paraglider. There's some guys using the big ones for paragliders actually.
They've got their advantages, eg: good for travel because they're much smaller than a tube kite and simple to repair.
I don't fly them anymore, but Flysurfers are possibly the most versatile kite out there.

Then take control of your right index finger and stop clicking threads you have no interest in and spamming those threads with pointless and powerless whinging.

Funny but true.


Er.. Jaques my appologies. I thought the way your post read you were possibly pimping and offloading more info than attempting to aquire - never mind - my mistake. Personally I am not a doona hater. Whatever floats your boat (or board as such). I wouldn't mind trying one of these lightwind babies but the cost is a bit freaky!

105Kgs and looking for a light wind weapon, I'm thinking I need every advantage I can get
