cheers

what makes you want a bridled kite?

good kites for freestyle and waves... rev, fuel? the LF Hifi is pretty good for both unhooked flat water and surf aswell, heaps of depower on tap, no bridle, direct feel and fast, in the new range youd b looking at the comp though as the normal is slowed down for wakestyle... havocs are good aswell for both unhooked and waves if you want something with bridles but personally i prefer 5 line hybrids as they just perform soo much better with more feeling at the bar and predictable power delivery, you'll find most c kites or hybrids depower JUST as much as bridled kites now and they also have the benefit of added 5th line safety, dont narrow your window soo much by specifying you want JUST bridled kites.. go out and demo what ever you can get your hands on!!!

go see jason at Westozkiteboarding for any LF, royal or Ocean Rodeo demos
or choice if you want to try some slingys
or kite addiction if you want to try any north or cab kites..
but i really do suggest to not just limit yourself to bridled kites, there are many better kites available that are bridle free and with the exception of the switchblade and havoc there really isnt much available that is good for unhooked riding.

Hey Graceful,

We will have the new Flow and also have the Ozone Instincts for demo if you want to grab a ride on something different. The Instincts are 5 line hybrid and have all the good attributes of the bridled kites, but also has the bonus of a nice direct feel which is absent in many of the bridled kites as well as super easy relaunch and self land and launch, just often different techniques.

Give me a call to grab a demo of any of the kites we have anytime. Demo's cost nothing and you have only experience to gain.

Good winds,

How soon are you lookiing for a kite as new year models are not far away..
In which case my suggestion is to get in touch with your local dealer and go try a few differnet models pick which one suits your individual riding style..
Take the time to try a few..

And look out for SB2 & CB2

They should make a nice boat cover when they self destruct

Hey Graceful

Why not try the ultimate bridled Kite, Ian Young has just test flown the new Flysurfer Psycho 4, check out his review at www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=39771
