A rider at the Skyway was nice enough to let me demo his kite.
I unfortunately forgot his name, he is pretty new. (Gene, I think) I thought the kite was really great for a new rider. It was really stable, had unreal low end (he had a 9m), great top end too and the relaunch was silly easy. I rode it mainly to see how much low end it had and how easy it relaunched. He was raving about it, so I figured I would ask if I could ride it. I can't remember where he bought it... I think he got it from Cali, though. It's shape really reminded of the old f one foil shapes. Odd looking kite, compared to most. I think it's a c kite with delta or something? It seemed like a wakestyle rider would really enjoy it, too (just parking the kite and pretending you were at the cable park). It turned faster than some bows/hybrids, slower than the absolute fastest out there. I can't remember the trim too well. I remember reading a thread somewhere that it was issue (tuning the kite or something). I didn't get that impression at all though. What stood out was it seemed user friendly, stable, and like a good kite for attempting a one kite quiver (with two boards, if under 180). I didn't get a ton of time on it, but I remember thinking it might be a great first kite or wakestyle kite. |
