North has tried to make 20m kites to please everyone. But, the public has been demanding the return of the R2 20m. This is what the R6 18 and 20m kites are based on this time. Rebadged R2s with cam battens and construction improvements. R2 jumping with improved range. Man..............my R2 finally...

seems like derek's boards are similar to the ones andre phillip rides in the vids. Any connection? NOPE. They are buds as they are both from the West Indies but that's it. I am sure Dereck would love to have Dre ride his boards but Dre has some tight relationships with some sick shapers in maui tha...

With respect to your statement, the de-power hype is overstated. If a kite doesn't have a balance of lift and de-power than the de-power is too sudden-flat kite problem!-Jumping is more technical and sheeting power is more on off. Bar pressure on some of these kites is significant. Rhino 6, as an e...

....so yeah some people don't like dangly shit but hey the backloop in windsurfing is not out of style yet or is old school. 3 years ago every one was doing the board off and it wasn't gay and dangly and easy...then it was the high handle pass that came along and that wasn't gay at the time....now ...

The best riders have left the tour because it does not appreciate the CORE skills of the riders and appears to focus on HYPE instead. Riders like Vari, Phillip and even Shin became disenchanted with the judging at least a couple of seasons ago due to its lack of appreciation for style and innovation...

I forgot to ask what's stopping you from going riding with a undersized bar to slow the turning your kites down?!? :wink: I have been cutting down my bar and attaching my trailing edge lines on the slowest settings since the day you were born. But that’s my point. Why do the good riders in t...

A friend asked me a few days ago why does my kite has better pop... it was pretty embarrassed becouse i couldn't answer him. So now I come to you, which type of kites have better pop and what characteristics do they need to have?? Or maby we were both wrong and it's all about the board. POP comes f...

Man; I am really sick of hearing about qucker turning and higher boosting kites. Its not even what is desirable in a kite anymore unless you want to ride in the PKRgAy. There is a big majority of riders now who just want grunt; no boost and SLOW TURNING kites......that's right.......not slow flying ...

MAN!! I really hope this is true. FINALLY a new school kite taylored for REAL kiteboarders whom just want grunt and no boost. Its about time someone built a kite around Dre's riding style. I am not holding my breath tho; a few kite mfr's in the past have marketed new school/wake style kites ending u...
