    I recently bought 2nd hand a LF Solo kite with the same system. One tip I think will help your customers, is when packing the kite and pushing out the air through the max-flow nozzle, is to use the neoprene hood to protect the maxflow from sand and debris that might blow into the maxflow as you're packing the kite. Cheers

    Hi! I have the possibility to buy an echo 2015, but it's hard for me to find info on it , I'd like to ask you if it would be a good idea for a beginner intermediate rider as myself, mainly focusing on big jumps and classic tricks AND riding with straps only , no boots. would the board be a good option ? I am 1.75m and 76 kg, and riding in south of france, where the water is a bit choppy . Thanks in advance for your reply.

    Been flying Solo V3 12m for a year now and definitely my most favorite kite. Calm and pulls consistently like a tractor. It tends to front stall in very light days so I always use the shortest bridle and power it up a little. It will hang in the sky even in 5knot. In 10knot with a surfboard and Im the only one in the water.

      Yes i have that one with the Solo 12m. Works perfectly. Note this kite is almost impossible to back stall but rather can easily front stall on light day. So I use the shortest bridle setting 100% of the time and it flies even in 5knots

    @frankyfrench5279 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Anyone has the V3 in 7M ? I have the feeling the kite has bit to thin/flat profile, for my liking it is difficult to find the power spot, I expect in the bigger sizes 10m and up this probably will work well. (indeed it is fast excellerates well, but the power is not consistent....... I have been now playing with briddles, in hope to improve adding pulleys it improved the range on the bar. Still profile can't be changed.... this kite needs to be moved and fast otherwise no pull....

    • @nikos4091
      @nikos4091 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have the 6m V3 and I totaly agree with you. In gusty winds the kite becomes nervous and the handling is not so easy at least for a not experienced rider. The kite is extremely quick and delivers good power when it is moving fast. The bar is very light even in overpower conditions, which is not always good. If you find a solution to improve the behaviour, that would interested me.
