The UFO caused a brand new period of foiling that didn’t make compromises. The kite is quick, secure, structured, gentle, and nimble. It’s a toy on the water that desires to be flown nonetheless you experience, whether or not that’s quick and hiked over like me, or slower and upright like these larger entrance wings choose to be ridden. Diehards have switched to the UFO from the kite they by no means thought they’d depart, and I’m a type of diehards. The SST was my bread and butter, it did every thing I assumed I wished whereas foiling. For those who requested me in 2019 whether or not I’d ever experience one other kite on foil, I’d have checked out you and laughed. This was till I rode the primary UFO prototype in early 2020 and since then I’ve not foiled with anything. Don’t get me fallacious, the SST remains to be nice for foiling, however the UFO is on an entire different degree.
