Re: Are Switch kites getting any better?

Hello Alford. Sorry to disappoint no its not a Ikon kite. There are so many variables to kite design. Just looking at a picture and comparing - Really . ... If you only knew how many kites I have tested that look similar but fly nothing like each other when you get them in your hands. Maybe you have...

Re: Are Switch kites getting any better?

Nice speculation. How ever you could make it out to be what ever you want it to be. I think it looks like a Naish Pivot to me or Maybe a North Evo or Rebel with a tweak. You ever think that materials - bridal lengths- locations - draft -span and so many other factors people totally ignore that are i...

Re: Firewire - Slab

Hi Guys.
Currently we will only be focusing on our Modern planning hull designs with Tomo.
There was talk regarding this how ever at this current time will not be introducing the Slab to kite construction.
Kind regards

Re: How is Switch going?

Hi Oz. Some very valid points and I can help you with a few. With my many years of riding waves behind a kite. Todays kites out on the Market that are wave specific work well if you are riding strapped or un strapped. Drift and turning speed being key. There are a few that have a good drift but do n...

Re: How is Switch going?

Lot of guys here on the North shore of Oahu loving their Element5. Crew from Guam also holding the flag super high.
Some really cool things in the works for 2017.
Come over to Oahu sometime plummet would be nice to ride with you.
Hope you have a windy 2017.

Re: FireWire Evo KiteSurfBoard

Opinion has not changed.
Both great boards..
The style of riding I like to do on a wave I have to say the Vader makes it a dream.
The Evo is a super smooth board gives you a smooth Caddy feel . Still with a nice snap and glide.
Really would also depend on what your style is.
Regards
Felix.

Re: Switch Element 5 Kite Review

Hi Bill C,
The smaller Element5 in a 10m or below are fairly responsive kites that you will surely enjoy.
Been demoing on the coast here is California and lots of guys jumping onboard .
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards
Felix.

Re: Cabrinha Switchblade 2016 Versus Switch Nitro/Element

Hello Rieshem, As I'm associated with Switch and have flown both kites (2015 Switchblade and a Nitro5 ) All I can give you is some honest feed back and hopefully not be judged as bias . The Match up here against Switchblade and Nitro5 is a fair comparison . The Element is more pivotal and more suite...

Re: Marc Jacobs at North Kite now ?

is I wonder if the sport is not at a much lesser level of sophistication most people think it is Spot on Tiago1973 Love reading thru all these post. Very amusing. All these guys assuming that the pro world is a dream, flying around the world pulling stock out of kite shops and having support when th...

Re: Marc Jacobs at North Kite now ?

Hi Plummet, I see you have serious problem with Switch though not ever a customer. If you want to talk about it please PM and lets see if we can get to the bottom of it. Not sure whats going on in your life but you seem unhappy and negative. Maybe go ride and get some aggression out. P.S Marc is sup...
