Is 13m The Biggest Frenzy?

Postby Ralph Morrison » Sat Dec 10, 2011 11:55 am

I was thinking about getting a new foil but it looks like they don't make a 15m anymore. Is this true? What is their reason? What other kite options do I have?

Ralph,

If you want to stick with a foil, your options are Flysurfer Speed 3 or Peter Lynn ARC. The ARC kites are simple to setup, but feel unresponsive and slow. The Speed 3 is a high-aspect foil with a ton of depower. For the snow, I would buy the Deluxe version which weighs 25% less. If you want to demo it, you can fly mine sometime. I have a 21 and a 15.

You might want to also demo the Frenzy Light in a 13m size.

There are lots of good options if you don't mind pumping.

Yeah that was a big mistake on ozones part. That's my most flown kite. I'll be holding onto my 15m mantas until ozone recognizes their stupidity and comes out with something bigger than a 13m. I'm not sure I like the loss of the manta product. It still seemed better to me than the frenzy in performance.
