Is the Soul3 right for me?
SOUL3 vs SOUL2
The SOUL3 is easier to ride and very smooth to control and jump in direct comparison. The power stalls very late, providing excellent contact with the kite at all times. Pivoting occurs extremely late. The relaunch is at the same level, and the kite releases on a single front line.
SOUL3 vs SONIC4
Due to its deeper position in the wind window, the SOUL3 is better suited for first jumps, starting, unhooked tricks, and gybing on the hydrofoil. The power stalls very late, providing excellent contact with the kite at all times. Pivoting occurs extremely late. The relaunch is at the same level, and the kite releases on a single front line. There is less overshooting, the wingtips are more stable, and the turning is smoother (minimal luffing). The SOUL3 is particularly the better choice for snow and land kiting.
