Can be seen at the 8 hours of Les Hemmes on May 10th
This kite has been developed by Stephen Schapman, French champion 2012, European Champion 2011.
It could be tested at les Hemmes this week-end. Could myself try the 3.3 and 4.7, very fast and stable kites. More details on the webshop site :

Clear les Hemmes are goods. But depends really from the tides, the weather
You have to come in the "Côte d'Opale" or "le Cotentin" , the best beaches to ride
Yes, the tides are good and I will be there with friends . Also we can try kites on sunday with the participation of Beachshop ( Kites - Beachshop Stella Maris )
For those who could be interested, there will be a race at les Hemmes on June 5th :

Teams of 2 to 4 racers
Not really, as I've never taken a start of a race
But I'm riding with some racers, and I try to find the best setting for my kites..........to maybe one day race

Which length lines do you use in UK ?
We used to have 20m length lines on our kites, but in strong winds there was often some lift
Now I'm using (with Combat)
From 2.9 to 4.2 : 12 meters
to 6m : 15m
to 8.6 : 17m
And for my 12.4 : 20m
Result, no lift and I have more feedback from my kites. It is also easier to "upsize"
I'm selling a U-Turn Butan I 7.8m²
No hole, no repair / kite only
225 € + shipment

My best speed is 84,3 km/h (52,4 mph). It was on Stella Plage near le Touquet last autumn with a very good west wind (25 knts)
I had a 2.5m² century

I also could compared Yak GT and Combat. Downwind (?), the Yak GT is quite good but not more than the Combat, but upwind (frontwind ?) the Combat is always ahead.

I used to ride with friends who have Yaks and Jojo RM+. They often have a size bigger
