Re: Deciding on first Big air kite

If you want a bargain that is more fun than the supermodel and evo. Get a Moto x in the sales now. That kite is seriously fast pulling and loads of lift for boosting. I tried the new air rush lift, supermodel, my evo and the Moto in a demo day and the Moto x was the only one that felt better than my...

Re: Challenging Realities of Life as a Pro Kiter

Love to know how fight to flight is going to generate the big money when kites are getting so so expensive that only the wealthy or middle aged can give it a go now. Kitting is not like other big sports. The equipment is not durable and therefore needs to be affordable if you want it to generate big...

Re: Do you need Aluula Kites?

No because they are ridiculously very over priced and expensive. I’d rather buy a second hand car with thousands of engine parts instead of 6 or 7 sheets of material that will last you approx 3 years if your lucky for the same money.

Re: V dristributor and lines consumption: dutone kites with other bar

I finally tried my Juice 15 Dlab with the high V distributor and then took it off in the same session. As much as I wanted the kite to work well without the V distributor, it flew like crap in the low V. The kite seemed sluggish, more reaction to gusts and just felt off. I love the simplicity of no...

Re: V dristributor and lines consumption: dutone kites with other bar

The kite is made with a natural arc if you add a high y bar the high y pinches the kite tips in. The kite then fights the y to take its natural arc. This makes the bar go up and down in your hands and makes it twitchy as the kite flex’s and pulls on the lines. On smaller sizes used 9 and below used ...

Re: Duotone NEO SLS 2022 - where did the quality go?

Done a little video of my exploded edge and the SLS material from the inside but can’t add it. Agree with the above. Prices getting so dear now but the quality is no better so more likely to lose large amounts of cash now and far greater risk to the consumer when the companies don’t look after you. ...

Re: Duotone NEO SLS 2022 - where did the quality go?

Duotone do try to innovate to be ahead of pack, some companies namely i.e Cabrihna play it safe and change mainly colors of their gear every year. It’s a risk they take to try new materials, design etc., at expense of possible failures as a result. Duotone is ahead of the pack of having leaking fau...

Re: Kite pump ideas collection

Itiwit ones from decathlon probably the best for about £15. Much cheaper than the kite ones and no effort to pump at all.
