Re: north trust bar 2012

Nice to see that the bar is adjustable in "apparent" length... about time for big boys to adopt some simple solutions that smaller companies have been using for years....

Re: Naish 2012

If you only use Sigma kites, these little "cons" are probably nothing, but coming from other-branded kites, you do tend to notice these little details... Yes I'm picky and I like products that are "well done"... And the kite that flies away when any other kite just sits there in my opinion is less t...

Re: Naish 2012

As far as the Octopussy goes, the last Naish kite I owned was the 2005 8m Torch... I had to repair a few bladders in it just before deciding to get rid of it... Guess why I was the last Naish kite I've owned? As far as cons go... for instance, Sigma kites get blown away of the beach too easily if th...

Re: Naish 2012

I'm really excited about the new Sigma kites. NOT!!!!!! Worst kite design idea ever. Please Nash give it up you once made some good kites. Haven't you noticed that they already do? Sigma is fading away, slowly, but surely... only one kite model left that is still "sigma-ish"... give it another seas...

Re: No, you should not kite in this...

Looks like a typical deep in-land kitable day.... :thumb: :jump: Seriously though, the best days we get in our sh#thole during the summer are from this kind of storms approaching or passing by, so we know a bit too well that every storm front gonna hit hard at one point... A few weeks ago we had a c...

Re: Switch Kites any real reviews??

Alex: Some things to clarify: 1) Smoke and Nitro are not the same so obviously they are different. 2) Later model Thrusters were undersized so they had less power and turned fast for their stated size. 3) Nitro and Thruster are not the same so obviously they are also different. Nitro is true to siz...

Re: Switch Kites any real reviews??

Finally got to try the Nitro 10M. My background is coming from Wainman's (WH), which i still fly. ....................................... Thanks for the review! It's funny, I remember that back in the days, Thruster was pimped as the fastest-turning kite on the market and now, according to reviews ...

Re: Control bar recommendations

If you're using only one bar on different-size kites, you should get of of these "one size fits all" bars where you can change the bar's length with double backline attachment option... Quite a few brands make these, but ones that come to mind are Blade, Epic, Switch...

Re: Cabrinha vs Best kites - which to buy???

You do realize there are other kiteboarding companies besides Best and Cabrinha, do you? It's ok to go around and try other stuff.... the sky will not fall down... but you're in for a few surprises for sure...
