hey guy sorry for the question if it is already covered but i couldnt find any info on it!

can someone give me some detailed pics and description of the hybrid kites that come with a bridle that can be changed to a 5 liner? i have been doing a little reading up on this and cant seem to find any great information on the manufacturers sites

i think it is the slingshot link that has this feature but im not sure exactly how many other brands do the same, any info would be great...thanks!

Yes you are right the link is one. Go to the Slingshot site and dowload the link manual it shows pics and some info on it this might help

I think when you buy if you know which sort of kite to buy, then buy the one you need, hybrids do work but all seem to be having some sort of cross problem, I think next year we'll see dedicated either bows or c's..
as the c's this year have really great depower and range due to adjustable 5th line.
For all the hype reguarding bow's ahving more depower i don't think thats the case at all.
Flown a new c lately anyone??

cannot fault my 12m link weather a 4 line or 5 line myself i use it as a 4 line all the time

Being new to kiting doesn't mean you have to buy beginners gear. Depends on your back ground and your skills coming into the sport. anyone who can surf, wake, skate, snow or ski will usually have the balance and co ordination to ride easily. If your coming from out of field I'd say look for bow if not when you get a lesson your instructor should give you a better idea of where your at.
I still teach and sell c's as a first kite, not always depends on the individual and what sort of riding they'd like to do and there back ground. Most people don't realise the range and depower of new c's as they haven't tried them and advertisers are all aiming at bows for beginners.
have a lesson and try before you buy is my advice
good luck and good fun :-)

I bet the locals didn't all windsurf first :-)

8 options i have trouble enough tropuble picking what size to ride btween two kites most days that would mean i would have 16 options is that write hmm let me think
