I use a Airush Ultra 1 15 meter for foiling in 5-9 knots. I almost alone in light wind. Anyway it is my most used kite around 100 days in the last 21 month I have it. Now I made a larger Foil Wind maybe I can use a number smaller. The kite stay very stable and relaunch is easy. Light bar pressure. Downside is that I can’t ride upwind on a Twintip if I overpowered at 10 knots up. Quality is not perfect some stitching between panels opens after a few month an the load frame yarns are not connected between the canopy panels. The canopy material looks worn out now and the valve just came off and need to reglue. But is hot climate here in Thailand. Anyway it’s my most used kite and so my best investment in a kite.

Thanks for the hot climate intel! Yes I agree with how useful this kite is. I’ve been using the 10 ultra for 2 months since this video was filmed and it’s my favorite kite for light wind foiling now. - Rygo

Did you succeed in gluing the valve?

@@vim55k I reglued the strut valve once. Later leading edge valve broke so I closed it completely and pump strut and LE separate. Kite sail broke after 200 days of use because of UV light damage. Now I use v3 14 meter for light wind.

How is bar pressure on the Ultra? Have some elbow issues so I'm searching for some lighter bar pressure options. Any other model suggestions also appreciated. Thanks

The bar pressure is on the lighter side but not so much that you can't "feel" the kite. The Duotone Mono is the lightest bar pressure I've tried on a single strut if that is what you are looking for. -Tucker
