We all make different choices, so what made you decide to buy the brand of kite you currently fly?

Normally - accidental eBay purchase. That 'late night after a couple of beers - thats an absolute bargain!' kind of purchase.

So can tell 3 random dudes at the beach why my kite is better than theirs.

Drift, de-power, equally good on a foil/tt/surfboard.

They had cool videos eith girls in biikinis chasing kiters..thought it may work for me.

1. compulsive buys while away at work.

2. graphics. i like bright things kind of like a bird i guess

3. general look and if it makes me feel comfortable as a complete kit?

Cool so the general consensus so far is

1) The kite has to be the right fit for the style of rider you are e.g. Wave - Wake - Snow ect.. or an all rounder

2) Graphics and Colours

3) Getting a good deal without sacrificing quality or performance

For me personally I agree with the the above points, trying before buying I thought might have been in the mix here somewhere too??

When I first got into the sport I HAD to have a cabrinha because the kite had a bad ass skull on it. I rode those till I baught My pride BWSurf Sea Sheapherd kites, yep, with skulls! lol. This only just accured to me. Funny thing is, I dont even get into the whole skull thing, I mostly just like girls...
