0 Morrunya Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I had some time on these rods today. I ran them in a fullvent b. Heres my opinion thus far. The rods feel a bit lighter than 3 wraps. They are more flexible than 3 wrap, and stiffer than race rods. The nice thing is that the bounce back into place in a fashion similar to race rods. So in a phrase, they are like a 3 wrap race rod. my only gripe is how light they are. I like having a bit of weight to throw around. Bear in mind I have only spent time with them in full vent in appropriate wind. I do have plans to try them in a mid vent and a full sail.

What you have described sounds strikingly simmiliar to the Green Race frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Morrunya Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 The difference is in the way they flex. The green rods are slightly absorbant or squishy. The SPLs have more of a tendancy to snap back into position. I think they feel more like race rods than the greens do. Testing on my full sail today in light wind. I will be writing a full review on Kitelife and i will post a link here once it is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
