Flysurfer prices increasing beyond affordable.

Ahead on shipping their new Psycho 4 closed-foil kite preorders are being accepted by dealerships across the globe. As you would expect discrepancies exist between each countries advertised prices but what has been totally unexpected is the price increases over previous Flysurfer kites.

Whilst never the cheapest kite manufacturer this recent increase has been poorly received by even the most loyal Flysurfer customers. Feedback can be found on the Foilzone forum.

Always a niche market player Flysurfer has over the last few years started to make progress against LEI manufacturers, with the latest models even competing against them on performance and being a really viable alternative. Just maybe these latest increases will undo all the good work done so far.

Psycho 4 UK Preorder Prices;

PSYCHO4 8M COMPLETE £1059.00
PSYCHO4 10M COMPLETE £1159.00
PSYCHO4 12M COMPLETE £1259.00
PSYCHO4 15M COMPLETE £1359.00

Compare with the Current Psycho 3 UK Prices;

PSYCHO3 6M COMPLETE £799.00
PSYCHO3 8M COMPLETE £899.00
PSYCHO3 10M COMPLETE £999.00
PSYCHO3 13M COMPLETE £1099.00

Perhaps what is needed is a competitor to Flysurfer in the closed-foil market (not Peter Lynn… great kites but ARCs are just too different to Flysurfers).
