Hi guys I just took the BANDIT 11mtr down the beach, well last night actually, my son wanted to have a fly. I was hoping for a bit of decent wind, it was blowing 8-12 knots NNE averaging 10knts [ I weigh 73kg ] still got up and had some fun. In fact even tried a few jumps have not ever been able to ride in that little wind with ease in surf except on a skimboard and even then its usually hard work. Was only a short ride because it was gusting offshore and was getting dark but still the kite seemed to have plenty of grunt and a good feel,cant wait for a 25 knot day.

mate, we've had quite a few blokes ride the kiwi demo 11m over here on the east islands
nothing but praise (from some very critical riders)

friday: 10-13kts cruisers loved the smooth but surprisingly powerful low-end

saturday: me @ 85kg got handed it in 15-25kt by 110kg guy, sez she loves to be powered mate -holy sh1t!!! - air forever.......... landings strictly optional - but oh so SMOOOOOTH

ALL riders were won over - even the brand hoes, so go figure

this beautiful woman will win you over my friend, slingshot riders need not apply ;-)
it's all about finesse and, oh yeah, class

buy three, but love them all well

Thanks for that mate, you have me hanging out for some serious wind at NOOSA now. Took a few guys out for a demo today went from CASTAWAYS TO SUNSHINE it was 15 knots tops. Feedback was great, they were impressed. The Bandit re-launched like a dream and handled exellent. It is really in a league of its own, like nothing else.I know im starting to sound like a F ONE convert but i admit its hard to falt the bandit so far even for the pesimisses out there
Gonna be a great season with this kind of new tech on the scene.
