i would fully go and buy one of these kites because they are dirt cheap! i can buy 4 kites for the price of one North kite... whats the bet it will probably out-perform the North kite. Definitely stick with your first thoughts and go buy it. There is a lot of S*it brands out there that rip off customers to the max and there not even a good kite. "As soon as one popular kid gets something, they all follow and the price goes through the roof" as they say back in the day. Huh so my rant is over....

it is out performing some kites of the same size i was at st kilda yesterday and a guy weighing 100 was fully depowered in the wind which was about 25 knots. i launched mine and i weigh 75/80 and was only half way depowered and it felt really comfortable i am growing a lot of confidence inthis kite infact today I brought another one but a 9 m, gotta tell Im happy

Exactly. Some of those top paying kites are seriously no where good as the cheaper brands. My old griffin was better than my newish **ty Rebel. I hate my rebel. Was top dollar and yet isn't even better than my other kites i paid half the price for, if not its worse. North...... head west instead :)

although new this is 2010 design i cant get any pics up atm but yeah im still happy

ok all new

12m hybrid bow sle 250

Bar and lines 24m 100

and yesterday I brought a 9m for 200

My board cost me 80 from the same guy

Ok ,seen your response in the newbie section.
Seems to be two threads going.

I really like these cheap kites (except for the dodgy looking bar), good for beginners. As a newbie you probably crash your kite a lot. If you destroy it who cares get another one. Once you reach the intermediate level you may or may not look into better performing things ...
