This will come as no supprise to a lot of people,
But..Man SS fuels have some relenless ball renching grunt! Took a 15m out yesterday and was comfortable powered in about 15knts as soon as it picked up a few or 5 I was way over!Edging as hard as I could to slow the steamroller down and bring it around! At times there was no way to out edge that kite I either had to boost or Or start bearing off down wind i wish i had a GPS because when I was flying down wind a reckon I must have been going about 30knts!
It was so much fun!
I really think flying a bow kite the last 6 months has made me soft!
Im going to stick with fuels for bit to refine some of my skills they really do keep you honest.

Thats why I love my c kites, the raw power they produce and I totally agree bow kites make you go soft.

Yes bow kites do make you lazy and you don't need to edge.
It is kind of strange to promote lack of range of the Fuel as a good thing. Sort of a throwback to 2 line Wipikas.
You can pull in the bar on a bow and get the same power if you want. Yuo can do the edging thing if you want. You can also get much more power out of a smaller kite.
