I wouldnt mind a demo of one, but I wouldn't buy one until after a year or two of it being on the market. Perhaps V2 or V3.

[br]Is anyone secretly excited about the new lei chronic from fly surfer. Might be my old foil days creeping in but I must say this kite seems to have most innovation I've seen in a long time. Then again does it work, has the sake of being different over ridden the need for simplicity of design and flying characteristics.

Thing is which retailer will actually bring one in?

Ummm eppo, it's not such a secret now!!!

Just watched the promo vid for it and yea got to agree it has many many new interesting innovations ,would love to give it a fly,if everything checks out the way it's supposed to we will probably see a big move in the industry over the next couple of years.

Where can this promo vid be found?

Have a look on fly surfer site. Beautifully shot.

fair point eppo on not lilstening to the possibly biased opinions of the foil riders . . .

im probably one of those biased kiters -(before ozone I used to be flysurfer all the way still have a Psycho 4 in the bag and despite my c4's and edge's it's a foil heavy quiver)

disclaimer out of the way the infinity bar II is awesome true to the hype its the answer to never having to spin the bar again

the rest of the hype about the "rear mini bridle adaptive airfoil" is old hat for flysurfer they have been using that tech in their foils for years now so im expecting greatness !

all their flagship foils all have it and its amazing

That coupled with some of the most rigorous R&D in the kiting world and some of the best after sales customer service i've ever recieved flysurfer might just be raising the bar in LEI development

I can't wait to have a go on one - it's the most excited i've been about a new kite in years

flysurfer.com/project/cronix/

In the "features" tab check out the short video and the "self launch" feature, a sand bag anchor to the LE with a pin release as the kite launches, interesting self launch idea but must be limited to lower wind range ?

KSS are (officially) Flysurfer agents - just havent been stocking cos no demand.
Looking into this one.Call me if you are seriously interested.

I would say this kite will have been rigorously tested and refined prior to hitting the market just like the first generation Peter Lynn LEI kites
Both arnt the sort of company to come into an already saturated kite market with a substandard product.
Although air junkie I think you've got the wrong idea on the bar it unspins the centre lines only, if you loop the kite you will still have to spin the bar to uncross the lines.

fair point you are correct about spinning the bar, I've used this system for about 5 years on a modified infinity 1.0 bar setup (same same as a 2.0 just less hard wearing)

The thought of spinning the bar to uncross the outside lines just didn't cross my mind as i like most people do it at the tail end of a trick without really thinking about it


also as a result of using this bar setup, with a pump of the bar after each trick to uncross the lines i found that the wear from abrasion on the inside lines is more than halved !

Puppet can you PM me the prices for the Cronix ?
I'm bracing myself as I'm well aware that their prices are at a premium

Let us know when they arrive. Hey junkie maybe you and I could demo them together to swap notes? I have a feeling it would need to be an all day affair with all the tuning options.

And yeh you gotta uncross the outside lines man! Now that would be something if it did those as well. Lol!! Yeh I always liked that pump to uncross the centre lines, but heck those foils just didn't work for me hey even after I was one of the few still on them! For real light wind they are good but heck I was on the 19m edge in Bali, that with a sector is unstoppable!

I would be very keen for a demo as well, I will catch up on Thursday, trailing edge bridal will this help with lift when tensioned?
