Flexifoil Stormchaser Tested in a REAL STORM!

The Flexifoil Stormchaser is a new type of kite aimed for those days when even the windsurfing pole huggers dont even go out and you stay at home! Not any more, the Stormchaser is the answer to 40+ knots of wind!

The Flexifoil Stormchaser has only just released and a solid force 9 storm hit our shores and our very own Ollie Raby took the kite out for a spin.

First lets set the scene, a grey miserable day swept up by force 9 winds turning sand into a weapon and burrying gear in no time!


Ollie launched the Stormchaser with ease and jogged out into the turbulent water, and off he rode like any other day! The kite is incredably stable and munches-gusts like you wouldnt believe, a perfect solution to the gusts and lulls of high winds! Despite the kite being a 5.5m the kite doesnt get out of hand easily and is very predicable and turns at a sensible speed, the last thing you want is a super quick kite in strong winds! Dont get us wrong, the kite is still plenty fast enough to send for the biggest jumps and hang-times of your lives, but its all very controllable and fun!
Thats what makes the Stormchaser so perfect is that it turns the days which are usually a nightmare into a epic fun session!
