Even with adblocker off, it still gives that "turn adblock off" warning. Also even with the adblocker on, I still see the ads on kiteforum. I gues the adds are placed manually and not via an ad provider, so they are not even blocked by adblockers (by the ones I use, at least) Only way I can access t...

Female versions have more flex, and are possibly a bit lighter due to a construction that allows more flex. Sure they would be better for a woman. Still, I would also recommend the mako. I ride one since 2011, and tried all other boards that promise a similar ride quality. None come close and all we...

The very first Zephyr released in 2010 or so had the exactly same claimed wind range of 6-20 knots.

As a comparaison exemple, gin spirit has no depower

Not to divert this thread, but my experience with the Spirit is the same. No depower at all

IMO get the most affordable dual stage one. Dual stage is a must. All else is optional (built-in battery, digital pressure settings etc. ). I have been using a genovo brand one from Aliexpress for years. No need for a bravo imo (friends have them and they are not any better...) . Sure, it's possible...

Hi Derek, According to the specs published on the Gin website the Instinct has a wider wind range than the Spirit on both the bottom and top end. Is it really the case? If so, why and how? BTW I weighed the Instinct kite of a friend, and its heavier than the same size Spirit (200g difference on the ...

Would have been better if there were more testers. Also he could have worn a very wide brim hat and been handed the kite in the air, so that he sees it less or not at all.
