FEEDBACK: STRUTLESS 7M IN SURF!

The drift and responsiveness that make the Strutless a popular kite for foiling also make it a serious option to consider for surfing, as Gabriel could note after having a go with the 9 and the 7m back to back. Here is his feedback:

“As I promised, here’s a small feedback of the 7m Strutless with a surfboard in 20/25 knots.

As much as I didn’t really dig the 9 in surfing (compared to the Unik), I really enjoyed my session on the 7m! Much more incisive, it reacts instantly, and above all, even when pulling hard on it, it remains stable and pivots much more quickly.

The torque is more present from the start and we can afford to lean a bit more on the bar / harness without suffocating the kite. As I move my kite a lot (downloop, full window…) I didn’t need to anticipate my movements too much, the kite followed my commands well and pivoted properly!

Quite surprised by the 7m in surfing I must say, I would like to try Unik / Strutless in quick succession to see which one suits me the most. In any case, it really is an ultra-versatile kite for both surfing and foiling”
