Which Bow is the best............

the one you like the best

One that reverses after invert

From all the shops I have spoken to ,the lightest on the bar is the Globe kite ( which is awsume to use ) but the most common is the Slingshot Desiel or the Cabrina Switch Blade.

anyone herd bout the sof-x bow?
genuine 3 line kite!!
how good is that?

its funny but i remember damo talkin bout it for so long that he had this idea for a 3 liner and that it was possible.
could this be the future???

seems so much smarter than going to 5 lines.....
pity no-one in aus stocks them (well that i know of)

gotta say tho, of the few times i used the assault, it was a definite thumbs up

I have a Takoon Nova 12, I brought it as a christmas present for my self, I have been kiting for about 22hours now. I have a very extensive sailing background, so I understand how a kite should be trimed and what the wind is doing.

I have made a couple of mod's to it because I felt that the velcro bar stopper was dangerous, (you fall out of the sky if you let the bar go)I have punched the stainless sheeve out of the centre of the bar and put a cabrina crosbow stopper ball on.

I also shorten my front lines 6 inches, this allowed the adjustable knots to be used. Before when I adjusted it for full power up it would fly backwards. You would think takoon would have the line length right by now?

The kite is very well constructed, and is very strong, I am not that impressed with the wind range though, I am 95-100kgs and ride a Underground Flex 142, under 15knts I am on the beach (no chance) the depower is great and I find the kite preforms best when it is depowered although adjusting it is a bit of a pain! I think that I will change the depower strap to a trapese cleat, make it longer and easier to use. 25knts need more depower scotty!

I wrote to takoon to ask what I should do about the velcro stopper (imposible to reset once blown and always blows)they don't reconise it as a problem (typical french!) stupid barstards because it is the one big thing that lets them down
