Reviews

Excellent All-Rounder! Bill Goldman

What a fantastic kite that is excellent for both wave riding and freestyle. It has a very nice feel on the bar with some pressure so that you can feel where the kite is but not too much that your arms are aching.

Excellent build quality and it flys really smooth in the sky. Great power throughout the turns and is also great for waveriding.
