I rode Mark's 15 meter Speed 3 in 23 knots the other day at east beach. Yes I was lit but not overpowered. This kite is a 21 meter inflatable and everyone else was riding 8's and 10's. To me that is amazing range and the safety release is amazing.
Granted it is not for beginners because the huge launch and 100 meter flight r extreme but in 11 yrs of kiting I have yet to ride a kite with that much power, depower, lift, and float.
Btw.. The Speed 3 is a closed cell foil, not a ram air, and it relaunched super easy.
I'm not a flysurfer rep and am not pushing their gear but damn.... I was impressed.
Unfortunately they r expensive, but worth every penny If ya wanna b lit in 10 knots
