Flysurfer Speed 3 19m Up Close

in Kitesurfing , by Joel Theodore
flysurfer_19m_articleWe had the opportunity to inspect one of the new Flysurfer Speed III kites up close, what's more it was 19m light wind machine!  Flysurfer has certainly stepped up the bar in terms of usability between the Speed 2 and Speed 3 with some real significant improvements in flight characteristics.  The kite feels more stable and at the same time far more responsive than the previous version, the power in the kite feels far more usable and manageable.

in Kitesurfing , by Joel Theodore
skywatch_meteosThe new Skywatch wind meter range has come to Australia.  The new range features a complete redesign of the Skywatch Eolo 1 and Skywatch Meteos  .  We have been impressed by the Skywatch Meteos sent to us by Briskites for testing.  The unit feels solid, with durable materials and a clean impeller design allowing unobstructed unidirectional airflow.
