Please please ozone don't mess this kite up. I am an advanced rider in all disciplines and have flown many kites. The V-1 is just so so good. I've not had a better.
I was with Naish for many years but the incessant changing of kites for changes sake then finally killing off the park was nuts.
Leave it leave it leave it.
Maybe some brighter colours?? No more.

A fearful reader.
From what i heard, its very similar just boostier. Also my favorite kite and it seems they nailed it.

You may be a little late with your entreaty, they are probably already shipping them all over the world
Did you use it for waveriding as well? If so, in what circumstances and what feedback can you give about the kite?
Put it on surf mode and its a REALLY good wave kite. Its no Reo, but you cant expect that from a cross over.

How does the enduro jump? Is it better than the C4?
C4 boosts huge vertically, Enduro does too but not quite as big as C4, but hangtime is better. Loop is softer.

Which aspects does it lack compared to reo?

Drift. The Reo you can park it and forget it. Its the best wave kite on the market bar none.

True, it does give up a little drift but it jumps so much better.

From what i heard..
They did not mess up the enduro V2, it will be same as V1 but with some small build improvements that might improve a bit the turning speed

And yes re waves it's a good wave kite on the right front bridle setting. Just a bit too grunty in the turn compared to the reo but not far off. I've had it in waves in dakhala barbados Cape Verde and of course little Hayling waves. I'd say it's fight up there as one of the best crossover kites on the market right now. Bit like a 2015 park but better behaved.
