i want to do a poll for the best/most popular kite for 2007-

it's simple- thumbs up for your favourite, thumbs down for least favourite- most green votes win.

not brand or shop affiliated, just interested

i may have missed a few contenders, add them in if they should be on the short list...

Some objective comments would be useful too, if anyone's got anything good or bad to say about these kites.

i would have no problem in using any kite introduced since the start of kitesurfing now in 2007.

the best one, now thats a hard one.

practice on the kite you have now to be better than your mates,
if thats important to your self esteem.

otherwise cut loose!

After reading most of the 2007 adverts, kite companies seem to have the best kite, best hangtime, best refinement, highest preforming etc, bomb proof construction.... Man Im wondering how they can get EVEN better next season.

Here are a few votes the magazines gave out in their tests :

SBC Kiteboard:

"With a huge wind range, the Vapor receives a near-unanimous vote as a top all-rounder. With lots of depower and flying stability, the Vapor is an easy pick for any style of riding.""With constant power when unhooking and stability in the air, the Airush Vapor is a great wakestyle kite for gusty locations."

"The Vapor’s responsive C-style steering also appeals to our C-style testers."


Kiteboarding Germany:

As a newcomer within the Hybrid kite market, the Airush Vapor climbs directly to the top of the podium!The Vapor convinces with the best handling characteristics in the test![/b]

The Vapor is suited for all levels of riding.

Light wind abilities: The Vapor delivers all its power over the whole windrange!
Bar pressure: The bar pressure is incredible low; nevertheless the rider gets enough feedback from the kite at all times
Relaunch: The relaunch is very simple!
Depower: By pushing the bar out, the Vapor depowrs nearly completely

The Airush Vapor is the complete and perfect all-rounder!

His characteristics and power was delivered over the biggest windrange of all kites in the test.

The Vapor is the top scorer in all aspects of performance!

Kiteworld:

“The vapor was well received by the test team, it jumped well, was fast and the construction was solid – a good bet if you want an all rounder with C style handling”
[b]
“The fact that we were having fun on this 10m while those on 12m SLE kites were struggling cannot be overlooked.”

There ALOT of positive feedback on the Vapors we have out and about in Australia!
