OLD, do F1 currently make a C.

Anyway just joking, C's suit some style of riding, not mine though.
Ie. you dont see Len10 ripping it up on a T3 do you.

I went and rode SLE for about two years, now back on C's and I feel like someone who was forced to be a vegaterian for two years and has now been given a massive steak.

Man food. [}:)]

Go demo a LF HiFi Comp. Best of both worlds.
They are a 5th line SLE, C- styled kite. I don't need to write a paragraph saying how awesome they are; just go demo one. Hey, if your out at sandgate beach, QLD come take mine out for a strap. Its the blue/black/ white one. If ya dont see me there, see Padi from Surfconnect who is nearly always there; he will sort you out.

um no, because if you flip the W to a M the E is facing the wrong way because your now reading back to front so it would say M3N

Welcome to last year Hook , my 4 line Aero is way newer, and with heaps more fluro.

When are you heading back up this way? All the old guys have stopped kiting and now I just have to bum around with kooks like that STFUBBQ guy you see on the forum all the time.

No mention of a "black death cult" Generator? Surely the best unhooked wave C out there?

Yep the reason is: kiting is a trend driven sport (contrary to popular belief technology takes 2nd place)and manufacturers pay very close attention to what is deemed to be hot.

Not that I don't like Cs, it's just the current trend is back to Cs. It's a statement/style/colour that goes with my board etc...


Anyway the Q was the "The best C".

Pretty damned happy with my 2005 Yargas. They suited me perfectly for 3 1/2 seasons as they were/are; stable, good boosters with nice float/landings, p!ss easy to relaunch with 5th line, relatively safe with 5th line and never, ever, misbehaved. Ride straight at em on a wave with slack lines? No wukken furrys mate! Tough as fek too! So you see the best C (for me) was mine

Have only ever ridden my old 2005 wipika matrix. Can I assume it doesn't really rank up there and I should probably upgrade? I've seen plenty of guys who started kiting the same time as me go to swithblades and really progress while my kiting seems to have stalled!

i believe LF calls it a hybrid if im not mistaken?

yepp 07 fuels are were its at... or 07 torches.. but not 08 or 09...

generators over fly the window to easy so sometimes ur railing hard against them and they depower instead of load for pop haha but that means u can use a bigger size in more winds which is good so its slower but they turn fast so that gets counteracted which makes it not so good.
