My Comments:
Went out with my new 12 meter Envy for the first time yesterday, blowing 15 knots gusting 20/21 AMAZING!
i have flown many kites from different leading brands but this kite has all their best qualities in one.
super easy set up, easy self launch and landing, HUGE wind range, handles gusts really well, great hang time, little to no bar pressure, flies really well unhooked (great for handle passes and unhooked tricks) SUPER fast and great for unhooked kite loops as well as mega loops!
The new CPR bar system is so smooth and user friendly, doesn't jam like the old LF bar! Easy to hook in and unhook with an average sized chicken loop. last but not least... the graphics are SICK!
cant wait to go out and rip it up again!

how is the low end? what is minimum wind it can be relaunched?

Hi,

Do you have tried the 9m?

Cause I would like to know what is the minimum wind to go. In the official wind range, they say 17-33knt.

I would like to know if we can go at 15knt with 65-70kg?

Thx

I was in Egypt in July this year and every day it was blowing 20-30kts. The 9m Envy was what I was on most days.

Spectrum: If you have a good size board (say 133+) then at 65-70kg you will get going in 15/16kts+ easy.

Truster: The kite only has 3 struts, super easy to relaunch. We have just brought out a pink version with short lines as this year's official Liquid Force school kites around the world. In my teaching career 3 kites have received my thumbs up as top teaching kites -

Best Waroo (2006 model)
Airush DNA (2007 model)
Liquid Force Envy (2010/11)

The Envy is not only great for learning, it is the most versatile kite that you can take it all the way to top level. We use it for water, landboards or landbuggies, as well as on the snow.
