The Zephyr has been winning light wind races thus far and is a powerhouse for light wind riding. A new design has the kite able to loop and boost as well and turn hard and relaunch in as little as 8 knots.
This kite could be just the ticket for heavier riders wanting to get out on the lighter days when lighter riders are out on 12's and 14's.
The wind range has been stated as being 8-20 knots which is quite amazing for a kite this size. For those that are into their course racing or upwind coast exploring, the Zephyr is the best choice due to it's amazing upwind ability and extraordinary wind range. The Zephyr can be handled with ease even in 20 knots, making this one of the safest kites for gusty stringer winds, where you need maximum power.
Now you never have to sit on the beach and wait for the wind.
