Flyersurfer Speed 19 + Spleendoor 159 Ultimate light wind combo
I went to Cypress today and not enough wind to pump my biggest kite. However, I saw Tony flying his new Flysurfer Speed 19 and asked him if I could borrow it. Never flown a foil kite before but I was pretty impressed with how little wind the kite needs to give you enough fun to ride. I believe it was blowing 10-11 knots. Later I borrowed a Spleen door 159 and I just couldn't believe how much upwind I was going in 10 knots!! The foil kite is slow versus an inflatable kite but still enough to put a smile on me.
