Like it What are your thoughts now on how the foil compares to the arc
(lift, speed, stability, depow)?
I'm kind of loving my leopards atm. one of the main advantages of a foil is landing it!! with an arc you don't really need to land it mid session as
auto zenith is cool but if needs be, landing the leopard and launching it straight away without any re rigging it so simple.
the leopard has loads of lift in every wind condition whereas the arc needs that bit more wind to give you the same lift. and its a slightly
different technique to get the most out of it.
the 13.5 is around the same speed as my 18m charger give or take abit but the 9m is a little bee!! it still has the same lift and float but its so
quick across the window.
when it comes to stability then the arc wins hands down. the leopard one tended to tip tuck if you lost front line tension but the leopard 2 has
leading edge supports that have nearly eliminated this. if it happens you just need to give the back lines a good tug and it pops out again. the
leopard will never replace my chargers as the charger does everything but we'll see what happens when the weather heats up and I get back on the water
again.
Looking good. The leopards definitely make u look like youre doing more with less. Thts one thing i never liked about arcs was The 3 sizes dwn less
power compared to a foil. I always like the smallest kite tht can do the job effectively.
lol ive listened to hip hop since I was 12 so old skool til I die!!! a lot of the music that I use depends on where I post the vids. if I only put
them on facebook then I have to use uncopyrighted music or they just pull the vids. vimeo used to be cool but they are stopping copyrighted material
now and youtube allows most but sometimes they will ban mobile device or certain countries from viewing.
