I need a 7m high wind kite to add to my quiver of Naish Parks and a fly. I have a 9m 2012 and a 12m 2014 and 2012 fly. Seeing as this kite really won't be used that much I don't want to spend a lot of mulla and I want to be able to use it with my naish bars. I would like the feel and performance to be similar to the parks. Is the element 2 the right kite? Is the 7mm the best size to compliment the 9, 12 parks?

That kite is on sale at the moment (you may already know) for AU$651.17 pump and delivery included. As for comparisons you'd probably be better off posting something on the Switchkites forum.. or even live chat with a staff member. I've chatted with them and they seem really strait up.

Can you let me know your findings, I'm thinking of doing something similar.
I've got a 10m and a 12m parks, might get a 8m Element 2.

Went onto the switch forum and got a few answers from a couple of team riders. See below. I'm going to get one.



E2 will be a little bit more reactive and powerfull than park
A little bit higher bar pressur (for the same size)

Lift will be better
I assume you will prefer the E2 to the park

E2 7m is a good complement and a very good kite for hi-wind

Im gonna get a 10m Nitro 3 next season. I have North Fuses at the mo but I'm reasonably confident that the Nitro3 will be a better kite (based on what I've read). I'd be interested to hear your feedback once you've given the E2 a blast.
