All the Flysurfer foils have had a 21m for a while - since the Speed 3 at least.

Bit of history research - I remembered bigger than that - 26m2 Psycho 2

2004 - Flysurfer Titan - 21.5m2 ()

2005 - Psycho 2 - 26m2 ()

Meh. It loops. Mega, down, up, side to side... it's a loop!

Way back when I was still learning to pump up my kite - there were a couple of young guys at my local, pulling loops like that. I know they were Flysurfers -yellow white and black colours.. very impressed with what I saw back then.

Yes it loops but it's not a mega loop.

People like to confuse themselves with definitions like "must be over X meters" or "more than 30 knots" or "the kite must pass below the rider" but the actual important thing is that the rider is yanked horizontally enough that they free fall until the kite catches them, which kinda implies you need to be over 20m, in a lot of wind with an aggressive loop...

That doesn't mean those guys aren't doing some mad loops especially the snow kite/landboard guys!

So this is a lower aspect foil? maybe to compete with the ozone hyperlink?

Higher performance than hyperlink, faster turning and a lot lighter bar pressure.

Couple of reviews about -- consensus so far is 90% the performance of the Sonic 2 but 5x easy riding and more tube like. Hmm...

You don't need to be able to drive an F1 car to describe what it is and can do. I might have seen Olly's but can't remember it specifically. If he's free falling, it's mega.
