Flysurfer Psycho 4 6.0 vs Unity 6

Well where to start on this one. Got to try my 6m unity for the first time today back to back against my 10m unity. Wind was 20 gusting 30 plus cross shore with waist to shoulder high surf. I took the 10m out first with 6ft directional and found myself running over powered as the gusts came through, wasn't expecting to get over powered else i would have taken the 6m out straight away. Came in and grabbed the 6m but i really wasn't expecting it to have enough grunt as i have riden the 10m in over 30 before.
This kite is amazing basically, i checked the wind stats after the session and it was reading 20 gusting 30 plus and i had no worries being on the 6m. Worked the kite during the lulls and parked and rode during the gusts. The 6m really responds to being worked and the accelaration you get when you dive it through the wind window is fantastic. Its very fast too, both in turning and through the window, it allows you to ride very quickly but with out the apperent wind causing death runs although at higher wind speeds this might be different. Easily the fastest, best turning flysurfer i have riden. Its exciting to ride and for such a small kite it has plenty of lift, something that was lacking in the small pulses. Again incrediably stable and for down the line wave riding absolutely spot on, infact it was so quick i found myself having to concentrate not sending it into the sea. I did this once whilst dropping down the face of a wave, leading edge down and was able to relaunch it just by pulling on one steering line and the kite was back in the air in seconds allowing me to continue without dropping off the plane.
I was concerned about getting the 6m after riding the 10m and finding that it has quite a high wind range but my 10m seems to have bedded in more now and seems to be producing more power, i felt that perhaps the 6m would get very little use as it would reqire way too much windfor a fun session butstraight out of the bag this is not the case. 20-35 knots and not overpowered, super quick, stable, overlaps with the 10m well and great relaunch. This maybe a kite that learners can use but its definately an exciting kite to use and in the waves performs. Can't wait for the next session. Whilst i now realise i can get away without an 8m i suspect i'll still get one at some point.
Well done flysurfer best kite yet. =D>
