I called in to The ZU Boardsports today to pick up my new Airush Lithium Zero kite. Its designed for light wind in the range 5 to 12 knots and has no struts!
It is a big kite at 18m, yet it weighs as much as a 10m kite with struts.
The bar seems to be identical to my other Lithiums (9 and 12) but I will check it out carefully to make sure the line lengths are the same.
It is about $1,000 cheaper than an Ozone Edge 19 so I think its a bargain.
I can't wait to give it a go, but the wind was too strong today!
I also bought a second hand 6' 2" Firewire Flexwire board that I intend to use for strapless kitesurfing and possible for downwinders too. It is nice and light and has deck grip on it. I rang Franz to get his opinion on the board. He said it was a great board, I should buy it and it was in fact his!
I am looking forward to trying it out soon.
I will post a full review of the Lithium Zero kite here: Airush Lithium Zero 18m - Kitesurfing Handbook
