used to fly the dos myself, nearest kite on the market to the dos in the north fuse, if its big air you want try the ozone edge

...but I just need to wait until there is sufficent wiggle room on the credit card, just in case I want to make an impulse purchase.

Rebel without fail. I used to be a regular ozone rider but have recently made the switch to a rebel. It really is the do anything kite.

I'm sure I'll get slammed and people will say "every kite can jump big", etc... So if that is your opinion or answer, please don't respond... Note that I'm looking for a kite that has the aspect ratio more like a Bandit Dos rather than a Bandit III

Thanks for your help

0'6 North Rhino ( I wish, but wrong aspect ratio ), For a simple pull the trigger and see the stars, V3 Kahoona ( I havent tried the V4), 2011 North Rebel, and the Ozone Kite the guys recommend (just obesrvations on the beach)in no specific order as everyones different in their riding style. Some will give you more float Ozone, Kahoona, and the rebel will give you a more direct up and down feel. But its your feel. All of these boost big and wont hindenburg on your head if you mess it up. Have fun demoing

Naish ar 5

Seriously tho I got some nice boosty floaty jumps today on a griffin argo 13,5 2012 (similar kite to bandit)

Those are some great suggestions.. Thanks for that..
I was looking at a Core GT this week to buy, but will now look at some of the other suggestions just to see what I can find...

Thanks again for all the help..

Nothing beats the old C-kites for boosting.
These days I have to watch a video clip to see some one go massively high

So is it the kite. or the skill level?

The 'Epic' screamer shoots you up like a rocket,

the odd kite height jumps in squalls at the 'Pond' yesterday makes me think this

+1 for puppets comment, was always a little wary of Bests but was truly surprised at the ease in which the Kahoonas boost you and let u drift back down. Good low end and seemed pretty good in waves too. Not real stoked on the bars though

Owned and flown Kahoonas, Core GTS and Rebels. GTS probably beats rebels and the kahoona, rebels next, then the kahoona - they all go big. Rebels are the most stable of the lot in terms of gettting down in one piece.

The Older GT I've been told boost bigger than them all.

But the biggest boosting kite I have ever owned, believe it or not, was the flysurfer pyscho 4!! But at everything else it was complete crap, hence didn't have for long. But what it showed me was a nothing will boost, then glide, then land as well as a proper wing...

Now the closest on the market to a proper airfoil wing is the Ozone edge. That would be my choice for boosting. On that was your question, not surfing, boosting.

Haven't flown one - I will soon at AKS, but from what I can gather from a lot of research nothing will beat that kite if it is big boosting you want! After all, that is its design reason - and racing. Apparent wind my friend, apparent wind.

Bandit-Revolt is a newer gen Dos.

seen those gt's in action @ corro's last year biiiiiig and look like they loop a treat
