Looks like he wants offers made Bob. If anyone needs to know what they go for new,ask bigkid (Jeff). I won't say what I paid for mine as I was
sponsored by BKK , but I do know they are one of the best deals on kites, dollar for dollar. I'm no longer sponsored and I still pimp and fly only

I'd like to know WELDNGOD's and Bigkid's opinion on how the PKD Soulfly Pro versions fly compared to HQ Beamers in same size. Handles and/or bars.
Thanks, gents.

I have never flown a Beamer. I started with Flexi Rages. Then went to PKDs. Pictures are worth a 1000 words, so here is a vid of me as lead buggy
filming a slower buggy in the rear view. Winds were around 20-25 mph. My kite was a 2.2 and the other was a 1.5. ( note* my buggy weighs 131 lbs. and
I'm 175 lbs.). https://vimeo.com/53914152 How's that for power and finesse ?

I've not flown a Beamer on a bar, only handles, but I have flown numerous versions of the Beamer (in different sizes) and own two of the Soulflys
(non-pro). I own a 3.6m Beamer and a 1.5 and 2.2m Soulfly. I will say in general, the Soulfly has more power for it's size than other similar kites
I've flown.
I'd take the Soulfly Pro over the Beamer in the long run, but I absolutely love my Beamer and don't mean that as a statement to discourage anyone from
owning a Beamer. I find the Beamer to be tamer, sit deeper in the window, and to feel a bit stabler than the Soulfly. However this comes with
drawbacks, I can much more easily outrun my Beamer in low friction traction kiting (Skates/Ice/Buggy), though it's much less of an issue with my
mountain board, or (obviously) scudding and static. The Soulfly's are still plenty begginer friendly like the Beamer, and when teaching someone weight
and wind speed determine which I grab (as I've not bought a full quiver of Soulfly yet). The Soulfly easily has the wider wind window, and sits higher
at zenith. I don't have issues with outrunning it on skates/ice/buggy or with any other traction sport and it. It definitely is a bit better for the
experienced flyer, but at the cost of needing to be a little better at redirects (easier to get too far to the side of the wind) and at it sitting
higher at zenith (not overflying, but the sun is bright midday). On my own, the material and bridles are heavier duty on my Beamer, but I'd not
criticize the Soulfly's at all, just one of the major differences I noticed.
Hope that helps (though I'm not at the level of either of the people you wanted responses from)

Volock, nice job. :thump: your right about the Beamer being a bit less than the Buster. The Buster I, II, and III were totally a beginner kite with an
adjustable AOA that would move it into the intermediate range. The Brooza's were intermediate kites that had an adjustable AOA which moved it into
the race kite category. At which time the new Buster was being developed it's surpassed both of the buster and Brooza categories without an adjustable
AOA. The new kite was called the Buster Soulfly, it was designed to be flown on handles or the Buster bar. With the piss poor quality controls that
comes with having your kites made in China as all the other major kite company's, PKD began making kites in their own factory. At which point quality
showed them that their kite was even better than was originally thought. So the Buster Soulfly became the Buster Soulfly Pro, with a new bag and
lighter material. It is still a great high wind race kite or a gentle beginner kite with some balls.
Hope that helps in understanding.

Excellent input on the qualities of PKD kites, gentlemen! Always appreciate the info from people that regularly fly them and know their performance in
ALL CONDITIONS.
"Buster Soulfly Pro is still a great high wind race kite or a gentle beginner kite with some balls." I think this quote should be borrowed by PKD.
Cheers!

Past happy owner of Buster Soullfy 3.3 They always said "you don't fly the bag" because they were pretty much just a lunch sack quality. Great
kites thou!
I've got lots of experience with many beamers too.
Great kites. Predictable in power and smoothness acceleration and wind window performance.
but.
I still love the crisp turning aspect rate of my Peter Lynn(s) I can pinwheel and pivot any of those (including the 6.8m) right on the center of
axis. Better wind window performance too.
free post bump to the OP
Soul Fly Pro's made many improvements.

lol I have crashed my 1.8 trying to get it to almost touch the ground with the tip but it looks cool when I have done it correctly.
So I guess that one needs to stay in the air more than to do tricks with.
