Whats the quickest production kite out there??

I've got no idea, but a lot of guys seem to be on KA Koncepts.

I'm hoping it will be Avalon Sail Co, but Bugs is still very much in the development stage at the moment, I've currently got the use of a rehack of an old race sail, (about 5.7m) that Bugs is fine tuning as a starter. Hopefully we'll get a 5.0 shortly, for the storms when they come thru.

Oh geez, talk about a reply that will inspire answers

If everything you say is true, you will know how hard that question is to answer as there are so many variables... You will also know where to find the answer to WHO holds the current records and WHAT gear they were using. Perhaps this is the closest answer to fastest production sail.

Or, YOU could get 1000 windsurfers to all use all the production race sails on the same day, same conditions, same place, same fins, same boards etc etc, then average the speed of each rider on each sail... A far better way to determine which production race sail is quicker IMHO

There's a few variables to consider as well, is a particular sail type consistent thru it's range ie, brand X 5m may be the fastest, but what about the 6m? that may go to brand Y.
I've just become aware that sails can't just be scaled thru the range, a big sail should be flatter than a smaller sail. So there could be relative differences between brands and sizes.

Then there's user variations, different weights. different styles. Brand X may be faster for one person but brand Y another
