Many of you ask us if a SuperPower would be suitable for beginners. The answer is clearly YES !

For a simple reason that L’Ours develops in response to a member of the forum below: what matters is to fly! 😉

If the wind on your home spot rarely exceeds 10-12 knots, or if you are sailing on inland waters with a very changeable wind, the SuperPower becomes a must have for taking off and getting through wind shadows without requiring a sharp pumping technique. Its torque makes it easy to take off and accumulate flight hours.

“What you want is super simple: TO FLY!

So whatever the inconvenience of this or that gear is, as long as your chances of flying are improved, it’s a good option. We spend a lot of time mulling our minds over the pros and cons of gear, but we sometimes forget the essential: the Wing is fun when you’re flying. And in many configurations, specific equipment is required. The conditions you describe are in some ways far more extreme than 50 knots at sea. The performance requirement of the gear is considerable because either it works or it fails. So don’t neglect the light wind, especially in often complicated inland waterways: make your life easier. The Super Power is just mandatory. Its performance is unbeatable. Firstly for its power to take off, then for its smallest wingspan on the market, and finally for its ability to survive wind shadows like no other wing. A large foil is also essential.”
