Donna's dad saw you guys out there, I believe.
That's cool you got to try that Edge.
I heard it was good, but different.
Did you feel overpowered at all? I heard it has great top end.
The original Instinct is pretty grunty, I sort of liked that at the time.
Now though, I am favoring less grunty feel. I am getting older and my legs can't edge hard for 3 hours straight. It's all rider preference at some point.
I heard the Edge is less grunty and really nice. Turns pretty fast (?) Is that true?

I got to demo a new kite today as well. It was a Flysurfer (can't remember the specific make) foil kite. It wasn't as fast (to turn) as many LEI's, but it had really good power and screamed upwind. It even unhooked nicely. I actually got ripped out of my board the first time I unhooked on it (about 13-15 knots). It caught me off guard with it's power. It was really stable. My old JoJo foil was the definition of unstable

I think it is pretty much always windier on SSE to SSW up in Dunedin, that's why I wish it wasn't such a long drive.
I always want to go on S wind directions, but then the thought of the drive kills me, especially when EB is about 8 minutes away.
