If you've flown a Sano SS in light winds, you know this is a remarkably efficient design thanks to the optimized sail shape and the ability to reduce drag with the ShapeShifter™. As a result, many flyers have commented that the standard SS feels more like an UL kite in light winds.

Now the SSL pushes the light wind envelope even further.  In fact, it will give most dedicated SUL models a run for their money!  And despite the amazing drive in light winds, the SSL is still durable and retains enough mass for performing the latest technical tricks.  

Perhaps the best way to define the SSL's performance is that it's like crossing a ZeroStar SUL with a Sano SS.  The reduced mass is immediately noticed resulting in more floaty axels and pinwheels.  Yet, it is still very easy to do backspins and multilazies with this kite.  You'll also detect differences when performing rising fades and rising backflips (lifters). For sure, the SSL will successfully do these maneuvers in less wind.

So while sharing many performance attributes with the SS, the SSL has it's own distinct personality.  For this reason, most customers are now opting to add both versions of the Sano to their collection.  That speaks volumes about the awesome capabilities and high "fun factor" of these kites!
