12/15 m Flexifoil Ions

Post by moblvet » Fri May 26, 2006 8:04 pm

Ok, 230 lbs, too many beers and years(59), kiting since 98.
Was on 9/12/16 Crossbows. Underground 152 FLX custom, 5'9"/6'4" directionals. Missed the C kite feeling on the bows.
Ions have the feel of C kites, depower like bow(not 100%). Ions turn so fast makes Crossbows seem antiquated. Ion 12/15 took me from 14 to 35+ mph, Crissy to the coast on the 152 FLX.
The Ions give me huge air and wave riding like none other.
For me SLE hybrid is the answer between bow and C and Flexifoil got it so right.
Simple bar, one pump, am totally impressed.

Someone yesterday mentioned some good things about the Ions, they weren't biased either, they said they were worth a demo...
