New Tech Kites

jdb1007 · Posted: Sat Aug 27, 2005 9:16 am Post subject: UL / SUL ?

I've seen these terms and was wondering what the difference is.

UL = Ultra Light - I have a Flashlight and fly it often (by the time I get home from work, the winds are typically light & fading).

Thinking of adding to my UL collection with the Desire UL. Anyone with experience flying both? How do they compare?

SUL - Haven't a clue what this stand for. What's the difference?

SUL=Super Ulta Lite.

I have the same after work winds....Great winds all day and till you stretch out your lines,then the wind quits!

UL's weigh around 7oz and fly well in lite winds.
SUL's weigh around 4oz and fly well in a wisp of wind or no wind with good technique.

I never flew either kites you mentioned so cant comment.
