Hey guys im new to the site and was just wondering what the depower on the new torch is like compared to the turbo diesel, i often find that the depower on the td is excessive to say the least and im getting sick of the inversions :P
Thanks in Advance

had a quick run on a 10m in 20-25kn yesterday

seemed pretty damn good
light steering, agile

after the sle i had also been demoing seemd like a merc

depower progressive and plentiful, not the on/off of the sle nor the continuous need to haul hard to power up the kite

td were widely regarded as the worst of their type

not on it long enough to say much more, hopefully better run tomorrow

Hi Heath,

Depower on the new torch is very much like the 06 vegas if not a little bit more. I was also very impressed with the quailty of the bulid of the kite and also the onepump system. The octypus onepump system, i think is the best on the market today.

Jumps great, as high as any kite ive seen on the market at the moment and is great for wake style aswell. Easy relaunch.

Howeva it does not have as much depower as the Turbo Diesel, but howmuch does one need. As you said, you are sic of it inverting.

cheers paul j

quote:
The T3 has loads of depower its very smooth , the bows are either on or off, you can still ride comfortably on the knot with the T3 , the difference between the Vegas and the T3 is that the T3 is slighty flatter giving it a better bottom end and it slices through the gusts as where the Vegas has a more sudden shutdown of the power.
