Hey guys!
I' m Marine and i just changed from C kites ( that i have been riding for 2 years) to Bow kites.
This is my personel review about the SB2 8 meter!
SpotWanda - near Cronulla, NSW
Weather conditionToday's condition was uneasy
- Gusts from 20 to 30knots
- very cold
- 2.50 meter swell
My sensation towards this kiteThis was the actual first time that i was using a 8 meter SB2, I have tried the 10 meter and had loved it, but this time I was afraid that like all small kites the 8 would turn faster than usual.
To my surprise the 8 was even better than what i had expected! I was riding my surfboard for the first hour and the bar pressure was lower than all the other Cabrinha bows I have tried.
Even though it was super gusty, I couldn' t feel any pull.
Then for the rest of the session I used my 1.28 Underground twintip board. The conditions were realy unstable, the sea was like a washing machine, I crashed my kite once in between 2 masive waves and I was thinking to myself that this was it, but without even pulling hard on one back line, my kite was in the air in less then a second.
