Thank you for the video. I'm thinking of buying either an FS Hybrid or a Hysper V3. I have the same foil and weigh the same as you. It would be for riding small wind waves in onshore wind conditions, so I need a kite that drifts well. I currently have the Peak5 4m, but when the wind drops, especially near the shore, it backstalls, and a couple of times, I haven't been able to recover it. This is partly because I was going too far downwind and partly due to the lack of wind. I've been tempted to get a Peak5 5m to avoid this, but I think a hybrid kite might handle this style of riding better. Do you think for 12-18/20 knots, a 5.5 or 7.5 would be better? Perhaps a 6m Hysper V3 could also fit within this range, I believe. I'm more into parking the kite, depowering, and letting the wave carry me. I already have too many kites, and it's hard to test them before buying, so I wouldn’t want to make the wrong choice. What’s your take on this?
Very cool
Yeeew!

I meant to say a 5m Hysper V3.
Are you talking about kites?
