Just paint your existing ones. That's what I did. Makes a big difference as others have said.

What did you prefer about the Rebel?

I went ahead and bought the Switch Nitro. I got to try it for the first time this weekend and figured I'd report back on my initial observations. I got the 12m and was riding on the Columbia River in winds of around 25 knots, maybe a bit stronger at times. Compared with the Best Kahoona, a kite I'm ...

it has a single line flag out. Maybe it's the 2013. Anyway, as long as the line lengths are okay for the nitro I'm fine. that was my real concern

Do you know if there would be any issue using the Nitro on a 2012 Best redline bar?

Thanks for the detailed response. I think you covered everything! If the swivel on the Switch bar is no worse than the one on the Best bar I should be fine, as I've been getting by with that one. Very tempted to pull the trigger on the Nitro now.

I am replacing a quiver of Best Kahoona's, which were my first kites. I enjoy cruising, boosting and doing hooked in (so far) tricks. I ride a twin tip on a lake that has quite a bit of chop. Can anyone advise as to which of these kites they prefer or what the differences are between them? Cheers.
