Naish Torch 6m Tuning

Anyone tried a 6m torch on the wake style setting? Not really wanting to piss around in 35 knots finding out. Wanting to have a little more consistent power without the kite flying to the edge of the window so quickly. Equally I dont want want to lose the ability to edge out a big gust when it comes...

Re: 2012 Naish Torch 10m

yep the 5th line y bridle just sucks when things go wrong especially when kite ends up between y bridle. Lack of a swivel or simpler line system has put a few of my sessions to a quick stop. My 2012 torch still backstalls unhooking after many adjustments even at full depower. I saw a pro at PKRA wi...

Re: Blade Kites 2012

Does anyone know if there any difference in the unhooked performance of the Prime since last year? Is there any more/less slack after a good pop? Is the pop anymore or less explosive? Or is it much the same as last year (which was very good i thought!)

Re: Hadlow ID vs Naish Park 2012

Obviously the ID sounds epic for unhooked riding. Has anyone got any feedback on how it is for old school big air stuff? I like my unhooked stuff but when the wind picks up i still want a kite that goes huge. I always found the RPM to be a tiny bit disappointing for jumping except when totally lit o...

Re: Blade Kites 2012

Has anyone else got some more feedback on the 2012 Prime? What has changed to make them more stable in gusty/overpowered conditions? The only weak point in the 2011 Primes is that i find them to 'jellyfish' in gusty conditions. Glad that they sound like they still boost big! Any Prime 2012 riders o...

Re: Shinn monk vs North jamie pro vs fonetrax

I have tried all three. Currently have a trax 5 and have tried the Jamie for a session and Monk for a short session. The Jamie and Trax 5 have the same good amount of pop and are reactive to rider input. The Jaime maybe a bit better in chop than the trax 5 and is also better at landings than the tra...

North Jamie Pro, Crazyfly raptor pro, Slingshot misfit 2010
