Flysurfer Sonic Race 2017

[.Joel]

The new Flysurfer Sonic Race has been released for 2017, this is Flysurfer's 3rd release for the Sonic series.  I've put together a quick comparison chart based off the info on the Flysurfer website.  First up for key noticeable differences however is that they've removed a whole row of bridles, instead of A B C Z bridling they're running A B Z.  Next is the cell count, moved from 49 to 65 cells, and then the wingtips whilst still having a slight flat area look far more rounded.  Overall weight is also down on the kites and they've introduced a 7M and 21M removing the 6M from the series.

This year they're publishing suggested line lengths as well, ranging from 12M to 17M lengths in lines.

Holy shit, 65 cells on a 7m kite. That thing will be tight as a drum.

@.Joel reducing the pulleys doesn't look good for your bar pressure issue though.

Is it me or are the new series of kite (from all brands) all bland colours. They look sexy if your ok with luke warm orange and blue.   

Bridles finally attached to the tips to get them to turn at last, and not just along for the ride. But the down side is I cant rag Joel bout his pirate hat anymore.

But like Andy not sure bout the lack of fine reflex at speed??

Yeh cell count is really impressive (I really like this!!!) and would reduce cross hatching internal strengtheners.

This will push the envelope further and drop more secondhand rigs onto the market which can only be a good thing for us poorer folks.
