Hi,
i would just like to know how the airush generator (preferabaly 2009 model) performs for freestyle unhooked manouvres incl. handlepasses and also for kiteloop/megaloops and just normal boosting compared to the torch or fuel? (08 or 09 models)
will be very well apreciated

Hey Buddy,

Alright the generators is really good for unhooked spins and bar passes. the thing with the generator is you need to ride with lots of power and speed to make the kite work for you. If you ride in slow and underpowered you will most likely hate the kite but i guess thats the same with every kite. the kite loops fast and hard and boosts good when your powered. does that help???

I have tried both the new fuel and the new torch, if you like kites that r alot faster then they r great. I would say the generator is a totally different kite to the fuel and the torch. It needs to be ridden more powered and its alot faster (i have only ridden the 7.5 btw) The Generator is a awsome kite. you should also try the Vapour3, My kite choice atm the 10 is amazing it loops perfectly it boosts big and when u pop against it the lines slaken right of

so you prefer the vapour3 to the gen.?
as u can tell im really into c-kites....the vapour3's shape looks pretty c-kiteish..is it a c-kite...i tried the 06 vegas and i hated it (the vapour3 looks like the same shape as the vegas..is it?)
any info on the vapour..does it like to be ridden well powered up?
thanks

The Vapour isnt a full C kite as you can't ride it four line, but its bloody well close to a c kite. Its the only kite i have flown with high depower that actually feelss like a C kite. I love them they dont need to be ridden that powered up and they have alot more windrange than the generators.

Yer im riding the FS atm, its a great board its got a flat rocker line a bit of flex and loads of pop. I havent ridden the Lunacy so im probally not the best person to compare them.
