I had the loflip 05 5.2 and totally hated it. It was the worse sail i have ever brought. It had real crap wind range and was so crap in high wind. Ka are much better sails. Another thing too Loft are the weakest sails on the market, built like paper. I put my knee through mine with hardly any effort at all. They use real thin X ply. And just about every batten pocket ripped on my sail.
Dunno what they were like 5 years ago but from what ive seen the last couple of years they would probably be one of the strongest sails on the market.
as for wind range 18-35 with my 5.2.
18 to 35 with a 5.2.
You need to take it to the kite forum mate.
Same wild exaggerations go on there too.
I have held it up to 35, gestalt can vouch for that
.
They are actually a very nice sail to use you should try one
.
I meant the ka wave sails are ten times stronger than the loft wave sails, but with the Ka race sails they would be just as weak as loft.
The loft use a very thin x ply, dont know about the new ones tho, but my one was a 05 one. Me and my brother both sail Ka wavesails and there built tuff as a rock. I did a jump last week and landed totally on my Kaos and it held up fine. My bro has the 010 Kult, and he has had a few bad falls on his sail too, but its held up real well with just a few slight hook marks on his sail. I would say Ka wavesails are allmost as strong as Ezzy sails. But the Ka race sails are weak as paper like Neil pryde
Fellas i have put me knee through stacks of sail, if you want to know what holds up? and what does'nt? let me know i will give you a private list.. I am a heavy guy and love to jump, so i give my sails a hard time. To me if a sail designer cant see that this is the most important thing, that a sail should be built to last, then i will convert to a different brand.
The Loft are good for there value tho. I know Ka are a ripp off now any way, cause all of there sails are over 1000 dollars to buy. The new Loft race sail looks great
Disregard what Flipper says about Loft durability (in post 2005 sails at least).
I am still learning to sail and wavesail and have many stacks (on Crash Landing's previous Loft Lip 2008's) and they are still going very strong.
Landed hard on the x-ply with harness hook and it merely dinted.
As for wind range, try the downhaul and outhaul and use the right mast, you'll have the same sail changes as others or less.
Crash - looking forward to seeing the new 2011's.
