New giant light wind kite... That doesn't exist...

djsiryn - 24-6-2025 at 03:10 PM

It's been about 10 years since I was on here due to having to stop flying for a while. I am just now getting back into it and purchasing a new bunch of kites. I recently picked up this Flysurfer Psycho 4 Deluxe 19m for a good price and in really good shape. I never even knew they made a 19m Psycho 4! I used AI and a lot of searching to learn more about the kite to no avail. I finally reached out to Flysurfer themselves and all the info I could get was that it was indeed a 19m Psycho 4 that was made in 2009. The lady I talked to could not even find a wind range chart or line diagram for it. On the Flysurfer Psycho 4 page, which is still up, under downloads there is listed a 19m line diagram but it's a dead end. Why would this kite be made and basically all info on it be scrubbed from anywhere. I would really love to know more about this seemingly rare kite. I have not had a chance to get out and fly it yet, but hopefully this next week since we are having a serious lull in wind, 5 to 10 tops... If anyone has any info or history on it, I'd love to hear it.

Welcome back.
I'm 90% certain that I saw a wind speed chart for the Psycho while I was searching information on an old RRD kite from the late 90's. I will try and find it for you if I can and post up.
I flew a friends 13m Psycho many years ago and was impressed by it's upwind ability. Have fun.

That would be awesome if you could! Thank you! I was looking for something with big floaty jumps and this just happened to pop up and I had to have it. I may be getting too old for this but Imma give it a try anyway. LOL! It's just been strange to not have any public info on it. Only post I could find anywhere was that one was sold on here many years ago but other than that, it's like this kite doesn't exist.

A PKF search turns up this. A user named Kamikuza owned a 19 m. Perhaps someone knows how to contact him.

Maybe.. I'll try a PM and see if he's still around. It's been 13 years... Talk about an out of blue message. It's funny what that thread was all about. LOL!

I know that name. Kamikuza is active on kiteforum. His last post was on Jun 19, 2025

Absolutely you had to purchase this kite. A deluxe 19m! C'mon on now. :yes:

I searched for the Psycho 4 19m on the Way-Back-Machine. You weren't kidding. Almost everything on this kite has been scrubbed from the history books.

The link below will point you to an old archived Flysurfer website with product and technical details but fails to give wind range.
However, I'm sure Kamikuza will be able to provide you with some useful real world data.

Let us know how you get on :thumbup:

Yeah it's strange! I'm guessing it's a pretty rare kite or there were not many made. IDK whether to be terrified of it or thrilled at this point. LOL! It's a ghost kite. :lol: I just signed up, waiting for them to get back with me on activation and I'll shoot him a message.

Found this post on here ans sent him a message asking about it. Hoping I can find out something, anything. LOL! https://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?action=printab...

Sent him an Email, just waiting to hear back.

Speak of the devil :smilegrin:

All my manuals etc are on a defunct PC, but the user manual is still available, and the line diagram is actually still on the website, just that page to access is broken...
