Anyone got advice on suitability of a Liquid Force 9 meter kite for kiting in the waves? I'm looking at a 2014 model. Yeah, I'm a beginner but want to buy the right gear for where I aim to end up. Your tips would be most appreciated.
forget kiting buy a nice quad with a three batten sail then you will find out how suitable these things are in waves.getting back to your Question l have no idea about kites . try another forum.
You have probably worked this much out, but Mobydisc's reply is the only useful one so far.
As a beginner kiter you need a kite with excellent handling and especially good relaunch capabilities - a freeride kite. It will work well in both flatwater and waves. It may seem economical but you do not want a specialty wave kite when you are starting out as it will be too difficult to handle. I am not familiar with all the brands but the Slingshot Rally or the Airush Lithium are excellent beginner kites.
Mark _australia said... how about a nice stable 5 batten then I'd agree with you.
brought a new maui sail 'Epic' 3 batten the response & weight savings is ridiculous. mainly for those knarly days .5 batten ssils still hold there place but.
