no i haven't flown one. how can you say its "all round great kite" when you haven't flown it?

i didn't say it was an all round great kite, just an all round great idea.

spaceys right. kiteboarding caters for the "wow this thing can do everything" but can do nothing really well.
make a slow kite for wakestyle and "park it" waveriding. all kites as fast as a 14m would be nice.

but if they were all as slow as 14m imagine trying big kiteloops

kiteloops arent a part of this genre.

my order of favourites for wave riding out of the 3 kites i had in the 2008 season went; 11, 7, 9. the 11 was a good kite and just went with you down the wave drifting back and allowing you to concentrate on doing inverted back rools of the lip ect
it was a better speed for wakestyle[no one mention im not a fundamentalist]. the 7 was ridiculously fast and you would get into any wave you wanted to but really, who wants to basically pretend to be scurfing the rotto ferry. teh 9 was an in between, an all rounder and therefore sucked at everything. that is why k brands make multiple models. companies that claim to have make a kite that does everything well just mean it's to slow for beginners to learn kiteloops. too fast for wakestyle and useless in the surf or some other combo like that.

from this point of view it can be concluded that there is no single best kite and any kite that claims to do otherwise is a scam

I can't help it that my kids decide 2 wear pink hats! LOL

They are still lil girls mind you! ggeeee haha. Just ignore I'm wearing a washed out pink coloured top haha

but it should be

they clearly do not fit in with the description of wakestyle. kitellops are freestyle and often impressive and all but not wakestyle

so what is someone is pulling off a slim chance with the kite looping. is it wakestyle (without the wake ) or is it freestyle?

sir ROWDY said...

anything with a kiteloop is freestyle. the kite is making you get air and the load and tensision of the lines are different. wakestyle is kite low pop generated like cable or wake, tricks taken from both.
p.s. i would go as far as saying kite high "pop" with double bar swaps and stuff is also freestyle, not wakestyle.

I think we all know how this one ends guys. What I will say though is that it is all Kiteboarding, that's what's important.

"Would a rose smell as sweet if by any other name"

Normally I would say there is no place for Shakespeare on a kiting forum either but I'm sure you get where I'm coming from.

Remember ride it all and have fun.
