Conclusion:
For me worlds around better than the old Ace. If you are starting the Kite in low winds it is easy, with no problems it´s filled in about seconds without sheeting in the Bar. The Jumping Performance is very good you sheet in and it goes up in the Air. In the Air you know every time where the kite is so perfekt for Advanced Jumps. Bad part of the Capa, if your landing is not that perfekt and you can get a little bit of slack in the lines. The turning speed is quiet fast so perfekt for some loops, transitions, … on the Foil or a normal Board. I tested the relaunching in some little chop and steady 13 knots and I had no problem in any Situation, keep cool and every thin is easy 🙂
This Kite is for sure in my Quiver. With the easyness and a lot of fun its a kite for nearly everyone

Hi!
Thanks for the review.
What do you mean Easy of using the power? And Soul wins.
I’m looking for the kite in 15m that will help me to go in super low winds on a big TT.
Approximately in 7-8knots I can do it with Soul 10m. Because I can generate power by flying Soul up and down (kite loops etc). With what kite is easier to generate power, Soul 15m or Capa 15m?
Hi Alex,
15 Capa generates more power than the Soul and you have more Fun with this Kite in 7-8 knots. Because than you are although able to Jump.
Greetings
