Obviously technique comes into it, but the kite itself is a limiting factor, sure I'm not going to be jumping as high as possible every time. The reason I'm asking is because I want a kite which makes it easier for me to get up high , given that my technique is getting better all the time, or so I hope .

Which is a big reason why I think I'm going to have to make a trade-off between handling and boost, I can't have some mammoth booster that wrenches my arms off, that I can't control, that will end in tears no doubt.

Hi Jimmy,

There is no need to make the trade off. The Ozone Instinct Edge 2 has massive boost potential as well as light bar pressure, huge wind range and crisp handling. Grab a demo of one to see what I mean. The Edge 2's won the big air at Kitestock by consistently jumping huge. The height and hangtime on these kites is trly scary when it all comes together.

Good winds,

Kites that Boost and ALSO have huge hang time...

North Rhino and Ozone Instinct "EDGE"

Subject to the riders skills, technique and ability. Once you've cracked the technique the above 2 kites are pretty good.

Felix you pimp!

Everyone down here sold their HP's and Waroo's to get Edges once they tried them. ..... no comparison... I love my Edges
Bull sh-t [}:)]

Their was only one HP kite rider here ever! thats me !
I tried the edge its nothing special compared the 12m ,10m hp are brilliant .
you never gave the hp a chance as i first did due to "incorrect tuning
"AA 55cm bar Q pro power lines the kite in a class its own , and last year the
waroo pro's out jumped the waroo by a mile , the waroo is the best surfkite ever , never claimed to be the best hangtime power kite , but to say"no comparison" when only on last sat-days session I out jumped / out kite looped you and overtook you on the 10m hp Vs 11 edge and I near 20kg heavyer & 10 years older than you
And like i said to you on sunday stick to the edges cause if you had a Hp you be out jumping me old mate
Thanks Kusu for the Q pro power lines their awesome

Go the HP Go Big & kite Loop or Go Home
