- Flysurfer Soul 15 m2 Start in light wind. Kitesession in Poland. Location Powidz Lake by Poznań. Foilboard Shinn Jackson 120 and Moses Fluente Foil. It was a nice warm October day in Poland. Warmest ever since I remember. I enjoyed the session because it was my first one on the new Flysurfer Soul 15. I was not sure to buy soft kite after my previous experience years ago but finally I decided to try soft kite once again. It was good decision :-) Now I don't care about wind forecast any more :-) This video shows my first steps with this kite. The wind was as you can see very light. And the direction was offsore.

Wow. Well done.
Thx. :-)
Awesome dude
Thanks @Marcel :)
Nice video! Big grin at 7:03! :)
Thanks :)
Awesome!!!!!
hi, what happens if the sail drops in the water? could you lift it back?
Yep. Did it already many times 😊
How did you adjust cabrlnha bar to fly surfer kite. Great choice great bar simple and clean not like flysurfer bar out dated
In this video I just used the default setup because it was my first ride and I did not want to wait for new setup :-). Now I changed the the lines a little. New setup has 15 m lines plus 6 m extensions and new fly out line. I like also the Cabrinha Bar better than the FS one. In the next future I will change the lines as you can see it in this link: facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2040299122683251&set=pcb.2276804062538817&type=3&theater&ifg=1
I use same bar on my sonic 2 works fine
I had the same question...
Good to know that it's possible to use a regular bar from inflatable kites. I have a Contra 15m for light winds but looking for a 15m Soul to make the ride easier, however, in my country, it's pretty hard to find these kites to buy. Thus, I'm looking for them abroad and would ship it. Could you give me an idea how heavy is just the kite with bag (with no bar as I'd use my Contra's bar as you did)
Do you remember the knots that day?
Or can you tell me how many knots you need for the 15m to foil?
Greetings
From time to time wind dropped below 5 knots but for start with this board you need 7 knots. I have also other board with more volume and I can start with 6 knots.
@@buenacloud Very helpful information. Would the kite stay flying at 5 knots? Thank you.
@@kirkbrode yep, for sure.
Super Toll 👍
Danke :-)
seems like you are a fan of day and night...
I like it :-)
Hi, great video, how do you like the 15m soul?
Yep, it's a nice kite, but in the meantime I changed to Falcon 11m Kauper XT and Ozone Hyperlink v2 13m
Dam you started and got up like that only people who wake surf know how hard that is and you controlled a kite
What was the wind speed and size of the front wing in cm2 ?
It was something between 4 and 7-8 kts, Front wing Moses Fluente 550 (550cm2) and 325 Stabilizer
@@buenacloud Thanks!
Great video what size lines do you recommend for Soul 15M In light winds / hi winds ?
In light wind I will suggest 22-25 m and in stronger wind 12-15 m
Fajny filmik Cezary czy mógłbyś coś doradzić jaki foil na początek ,właśnie dokupiłem 15 soul-a do mojego quiver-a jako alternatywa na słaby wiatr,pływałem tylko na twintip więc nie wiem od czego zacząć?
Ile ważysz i jakie masz doświadczenie na TT?
@@buenacloud Waga 105 kg ale jestem wysoki 190 wzrostu
Na TT pływam od 2 lat z dość dobrym progresem,mieszkam w UK i wszystkie spoty z których korzystam to akweny morskie więc fale to norma
@@slavsmela3793 Ok. to proponuję weź sobie Moses W633 na początek ze stabilizatorem S483 i masztem 91cm. Taki zestaw będzie prosty do nauki i na pewno będziesz miał na nim dobry progres. Dobra deska wypornościowa. Aktualnie kolega ma na sprzedaż prawie nową deskę w idealnym stanie. 120x46cm ca. 20l wyporności, full carbon. Po jakimś czasie proponuję dokupić lotki W695/S421 jeżeli chcesz polatać trochę szybciej i sobie poskakać ale pierwszy pływałbym na tym W633 jak wyżej.
@@buenacloud Dzięki serdeczne za detale zerknę do sieci za tym cackiem
jeśli chodzi o deske proszę o więcej info
@@slavsmela3793 tu jest link do tej deski na FB tinyurl.com/yx8plpzn myślę, że tam jeszcze trochę możesz zejść z ceny. Daj znać jak będziesz miał pytania.
What bar is that? Did you have to use pig tail adapters?
lehula you dont need pigtails on a flysurfer kite.
On the Soul 15 I removed the pigtails from the lines. But for better adjustment you could use the pigtails. I use Cabrinha's 2017 52 cm fix Bar.
What a great video! Masterful launch! do you think there will be ever a situation where you will not be able to go foiling with your new 15 but would be OK with 18 or 21!?
Thanks! 🙂
Depends on foil you ride. Few weeks ago I changed from fluente to Moses Onda. I think biggest I need is 12m now. Can't imagine that I could go earlier foiling with bigger kite. Now with Onda I'm starting to foil with "no wind". Even the size of the Foilboard isn't that important any more to get up on the foil.
@@buenacloud So with your new Moses 633 aka onda no need to get anything bigger than 12!! Correct?
@@artg6361 Yep. I was overpowerd from 8 kts and with Ozone HL v2 13m I can start at the same wind with my Onda 633. I would say Soul 12 would be the same.
@@buenacloud Thanks man! I invite you to come to La Ventana, Mexico! It will be windy up untill June 1. shoot me a message if you up for it I`ll give you all the details!
Hello
I use a 15m soul with twin tip, so I need minimum wind to be able to go upwind😅
I saw you always use kiteloop to get power, is it a must all time?😊
I also got an issue with low wind increasing suddenly to gale force, and nobody staying on the beach🥶
Even in not such conditions, I’d like to see a good video of self landing in too strong wind for 15m2 (20/25kts)🥵
Hi,
the technique to start on foil is a little different than on TT. You start in much less wind than on TT and with loop you can start in less wind. The way your kite is generating power is longer when you loop.
Secure self landing with Soul is possible in strong wind if you bring your kite down to the 9 O'Clock on the Edge of Wind Window and activate the quick release, the kite will flag out and all power will be gone. Your kite will maybe do 2 or 3 turns and finally will drop down. You need than go to the kite pulling the flag out line. Try it first in less wind to see how it works.
If there is no place on the beach you need to do this on the water.
Hope it helps you.
@@buenacloud Ahoj ty odstrelujes soula na kraji vetrnyho okna pri silnejsim vetru......muze invertovat ,je to vubec bezpecny postup pristavani ,ja mam soula +ř
This is my all time favorite youtube video!
Thanks :-)
👍👍👍👍👍
Hej. Albo tam były takie duże dziury albo około 3-4knt na początku. Mój soul 15 zaczyna przepadac poniżej 3knt a tutaj tak to wygląda. Jakie skrzydło miałeś tutaj na foilu?
Hi, latałem na Moses Fluente. W miejscu startu były spore dziury i wiatr chodź słaby trochę kręcił. Dopiero jakieś 100m od brzegu było już stabilniej ale dalej tak około 5-6 do max 7 węzłów.
❤️
Sau cool
Danke!
So... End?
What do you mean?

So many ways to safely launch this kite very easily.. Unfortunately you have displayed a very sketchy launch. Nice to see the low end capabilities though. I'd say good luck practicing your on land kite handling skills and enjoy your sessions even more!
It was my first ride ever with FS Soul. But I felt my kite all the time under control. Even if it doesn't look like :-)
That launch site is pure heroin. On/side-on wind with a building, tall poles and trees. Wicked dangerous.
@@teranhughes77 You are right but there is only one place on this lake to start kite and it was my first ride with the brand new Flysurfer Soul 15. I was unstoppable at this time :-) I felt all the time secure on the beach.
@@buenacloud ----all good brother, fly safe, have fun!
@@cezaryaugustynowicz771 That is control - good job
I think pre-inflation would help you launch the kite a lot. There is people that even do it with a leaf blower
They was no wind at the ground to pre-inflate, it was my first ryde with this kite, first one with soft kite after few years, I don't own a leaf blower. The day is short in autumn in Poland so i didn't had time to prepare it better :-) but thanks for your advice :-)
@@buenacloud yeah, I don't know much either. But I saw that people did It and I thought I could help you. But Great Video Anyways!
@@carlossanchez-etayopacheco3164 Thanks for your help!
Should be 5-6 knots, I can get going I'm my 12mt at 6-7, pain in the ass but feasible
With my big volume "Bracuru" board I can start at 5/6 knotes
Also known as a 'no wind day'.
true :-)
Hi, great video! Do you still enjoy the 15m? Does it quickly become overpowered while foiling? Looking for a very light wind foil kite. I'm 85kg and a good foil. Should I go 15 ot 12m? (It's only going to be for very light wind foiling). Thanks and again, cool video!
Hi, thanks for your comment 🤞 I strongly recommend Soul 15 for light wind. If you use shorter lines. For example 15m long you will have bigger wind range with the soul 15. You'll be never overpowered up to 20 knots or even above with shorter lines.
@@czarekau Sweet, thanks for that! I'll get a 15 then. Happy kiting!

Nice Vids good vibes
Thanks!🤙
Music😁😭😭😭
:-)
To much work
Hahaha, so true 🙂
Very bad place to start 😢...
You are right. I don't recommend it to any beginner or intermediate kiter. It is wiser to choose a better place to launch the kite. Unfortunately on this lake, there are trees around the whole lake. It was the only place to start from the beach.
Interesting but awful music.
