Thanks a lot from France Thomas I will give you the answer Ben gave me a couple weeks ago. The difference is the size.

Thanks a lot from France Thomas Someone wrote about this not too long ago that was quite interesting. It included some of the history behind them. I do believe it was here on this forum. Where, I haven't looked. Maybe someone else recalls where it is. I might also be on Kitelife or something David Hathaway wrote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tonycarl60 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I believe the Shockwave was the first of the speed series, the Supersonic came later. The Supersonic is a little smaller than the Shockwave. I prefer the Supersonic, especially the vented version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 antman Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 i have them both and i like the sonic better..its slightly faster ,eazier to control and less pull..the vented one is really nice to fly as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few things I know about the two is that they were developed and placed on the market at the same time. There was something about the prototypes going out to several people at the same time for evaluation. Neither was overall favored over the other thus they were both placed on the market.

0 jburka Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 One of the few things I know about the two is that they were developed and placed on the market at the same time. As I recall, there were prototypes of both kites at the 1997 Wildwood convention (I guess the kites debuted at the '98 KTA?). It seems to me they had already been named. I definitely recall flying both prototypes (and actually flew one of them, probably the shockwave, inside the old convention center -- something I determined was nearly, but not quite, impossible) The main difference to me is that the supersonic is faster and the shockwave pulls harder...

Fast and fun in high winds but don't have to fight it when the winds gusts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
