@@thekiteboatparty3568 had a fractured ribs after failed kiteloops 🙂 but in video fully back on track 😂

can't remember but probably 20+ knots

@@c.l.4959 Defo go for sonic4 as it's more stable and don't even look at sonic3. Sizes are tricky part. Not sure of your riding skils and what is light wind for you. But sonic outperforms soul in all ways and after spending time with sonic you would defo wont go back to souls. I personally have 10m and 15 sonic4 . Using 15m from 10 to 20 knots and 10m from 15 to 35 knots. Personally would not go for 18m as too big for me and not worth to sacrifice kite speed for extra 1-2 knots at low end. You can add extra 3m extension and you have extra pull. Depends on where you live and what wind you have during the year. If light windy days are common and more than half year then defo go for 18m and you will have blast every single day but if you have medium winds and want to ride 15m in 20knots which is a lot of fun go with 15m kite as I'm able to hold it up to 26knots 🙂 with small board. Soul is more for beginners but sonic4 is more for advanced as you actually need to fly kite and be precise 🙂

​@@MrStarkabelis Thanks for all the info-I truly appreciate your comments. I didn’t mention it before, but I also have an 11m Sonic3, although it’s for a completely different program than light wind use, so it’s not relevant to my question. Just thought I'd mention it!

@@c.l.4959 had 11m sonic3 eachh a lot of bad memories 😂 But yeah sonic4 is nice go for 15m and you won't regret as it's perfect size between 12m and 18m

​@@MrStarkabelis I finally managed to sale my Sonic 3 11m - but not my Soul 2 15m yet. Soon I will receive my Sonic 4 in 12m and 15m. I hope and believe I will have a blast with them. Thanks for all info provided!

@c.l.4959 you will be happy! Enjoy! 🤗

usually going with original 20m but recently was flying 23m lines as way more fun with heli loops :)

@@gregor3007 kite trim is original but bar steering lines are 2cm shorter than power lines when full power 🙂

@@ozii560 19-28 knots, was very patchy

@@collegepros now around 81kg 🙂

@@nielsflushh can't agree more. So much performance. When you get used to sonic4 you don't want to go back to tube kites 🙂

@@TheKitergirl this one is tricky. If u ride small board would go for 12m² and yeah 10m² needs more wind. If you are advanced rider go for 12m² in 10-15knots will perfectly suit you 👌

@@simonburch8762 took a while to learn them. But when you get use to foil kite and swing deep enough under kite the massive jank is not there anymore 🙂

@@MrStarkabelis anything you can recommend to get that swing or is it just a height thing?

@@simonburch8762 sheet bar out during jump, keep kite at 11 or 13:00 when u feel that kite loosing power initiate downloop and keep bar cranked all the way down and don't let it go back untill downloop is finished. For more jank during downloop leave bar sheeted 4-7 cm out and for less jank after swinging under kite sheet bar back in and then initiate downloop 🙂

@@simonburch8762 just start practicing from 4-6m height jumps don't go to high 🙂

@@donronaldo5454 well looks a bit scary, but you get used to it and learn how to manage them. I ride tube kites as well but if there is no rain and wind is not mad gusty always will pick my foil kite 🙂

Always check bridles from a tube kite cause they can be teared too!

Interesting. I never thought of using the board as a weight. Do you find you get problems with tip wraps on launch often?

@@bondvillansarebest i was getting more tangles with FS sand bag than board 🙂 Never had any issues with using board. Just make sure it's not carbon board as to light and if u are using regular board that there is np scratches on bottom as will damage kite.

@@wilkothewiz heyy :) I was riding 10m² Sonic4 (I'm 88kg) and other guy 15m² Sonic4 ( he is 110kg). Wind was around 17 knots and 24 in gusts 🙂 very nice kites I use my 10m² from 13 knots to 30knots and over 30knots have Era 8m² tube kite, but very rarely we have over 30 knots so 10m² is my favourite 🙂

Yeah, didn't expect that will go so far downwind 😂

@@kevinwilczynski5651 I'm 88 kg and in this video was around 14-15 knots

@@gloglebag hey, Sonic4 smallest kite is 6m² 🙂 and with your weight- board combo probably you would be able to go from 17 knots + ...I suppose 8m² would be more suitable for you and bigger wind range 😀 I never personally tested 6m² but I'm 88 kg with 137 board and 10m² sonic4 10m² can go from 13knots just to ride forward and backwards with some 2-3m jumps

@@MrStarkabelis My aplogies for the bad spelling. I have no idea why I wrote 5m. I meant 15m. I feel so stupid. And I meant "as a starter". But i really appreciate your answer!

@@gloglebag no worries. 15m² is a very good choice for light wind days and practice tricks or getting into it... It will get you going from 9-10 knots and you will be happy 🙂

Hey! Woo showed 12.5m and Surfr App 10.9m highest :)

Didn't captured on camera my highest jumps and at the end it's just a summary of a session ( highest jump, longest air time, max speed ant etc and if you using surf app you can open session and see all jumps and other info) 🙂

10-14 knots

@@MrStarkabelis posso chiederti qual’e il range minimo e massimo di quella vela

​@@lucamansi2022 I'm 88kg and on TT can go from min 9knots to max 25 knots 🙂

@@MrStarkabelis I weigh 70 kg with 10 knt can I already jump well?

@@lucamansi2022 well with 70kg body weight you will defo jump higher with 15m² and will have more hangtime and fun 🙂

Hi, Yes I had quiver of Soul2 and moved to Sonic. Definitely Sonic will give more power in Light conditions 🙂 Probably Sonic4 10m can be one kite quiver can go on TT from 12 knots to 30knots. I'm 88kg

@@MrStarkabelis Thanks 👍 Im thinking about getting 12m kite for low winds. And thought about Soul and Sonic. Did you try Sonic in gusty winds? How does it behave compared to Soul? Here at my place are more gusts than in Ireland. I loved Bull Island for kiting when I lived there near by. Im 69kg

@@aleshaborisovich I got 10m and 15m Sonic4. So I'm pretty much covered from 9 knots to 30. Most of the time wind here is gusty and patchy but Sonic4 performing very well and didn't had any issues with folding or colapsing. With sonic3 11m had a lot of terrible sessions due to collapsing and folding from gusts.... but they resolved this issue on new sonic. Soul behaves very well in gusts but it's boaring all round kite. After trying sonic u will never go back to soul. 🙂 Defo go for sonic4 12m will be satisfied with performance

@@MrStarkabelis Cheers! You've got a good quiver!
