Hi.. does anyone have some experience on this kites.. North NEO 2017 x Naish Slash.
Nowadays I got a Pivot 2016 10 m, but I have been thinking in get a 10m Neo.
I am 71kg, normally just ride waves downwind, wind ranging 14-20kt most of the time.
How about bar pressure, who?s got the tight turn, drifting ability..
Thanks for your help guys

Where abouts are you kiting, the 10m neo is a pretty grunty kite for a 70kg rider, at your weight i'd say a 9 or 8 will give you similar power to your current kite, demo a 9 and see how you get on

The Pivot is on Par with the Neo regarding grunty-ness so if you are on 10 Pivot get a 10 Neo.
