Now lets be clear brand bashers...... im after Genuine good advice
I currently fly Cults and im looking at making the progessive step as my kiteing improves. Been a slack freestyler for nearly a decade and ive been pushing my ridding towards Wake. So im after advice on 2010 10m Swtchy against 2010 10.5m Helix. They are the two that i have tryed to narrow it down to but im not fused on brands as long as it keeps me on the water......
Note: im aiming for a one kite quiver with multiple boards, from wakeskate, 130tt, 140tt, and 6' surf. (Im 80ish kg) Also i kite in a gusty area, hence the Cults (Smartloop range on the water)

Ive 2010 10m switchy, its sik for wake style riding. a very simple to use kite. super stable in gusts, solid and predictable power. its not a fast kite so in the surf it aint flash. but thats not what its designed for. its the best kite ive ridden unhooked.

for fast power, pure acceleration, good pop and an aggressive kite get a helix and hold on tight. try a demo first if you can. they took the geotech out of the helix so its instant load and power also. if its always gusty i would stay with a cult

Thanks for the info Terry, but now ive gone and sold my Cults.....
By the sound of things i should stick with getting a switchy eventhough it may make me fit into the kook category.....
Hows the boooooosts and airtime onto switchy???
