Those closeout deals are looking pretty tempting if price is your driver. I've had a couple of Roca's in my hands and they're fine kites. Slightly tweaked from the previous year's design and a bit better on the bar fully sheeted. They've just simplified it, gone back to low prices, great performance...

Smart looking kite with a nice new approach on canopy tensioning. I'll be sticking with my 15m Flysurfer though.

Haven't had any wind yet, well enough for my 15m flysurfer but not 9m TS weather. it looks fine though, detailing is all good, the bar's top notch as usual.

9m TS landed today, looks perfect. Lime and red colours, 47cm RED bar. Nice QC check list stickered onto the packaging. The build quality is exemplary, always was. Comes with a few zip ties and some hose for the inflation system, pack of stickers and stencils, and the 3-in-1 sock bag. Fold it up and...

Woodpecker, I'm not sure how it works on your keyboard but I usually just have to hit the submit button once. ...

No, funnily enough, the last kite work I did was all the CAD renderings for next season's Eleveight gear. I've still got love for BEST though. In fact I've just added a new TS to my quiver- and the bar of course, who's going to miss out on that at those prices? I've been talking to Seb quite a bit o...

I'm genuinely happy to see that BEST have a warehouse full of new gear and with more on the way. TS 9,10,12 are ready to ship now 7,14,16 in two weeks Armada all sizes next week, surfboards are available now New Roca mid July That 99 Euro bar deal is strong as well. I still rate the BEST bar as one ...

As long as they don't think they can interfere in law-making at a national level as regards access then they can do what they want for all I care.
