I have been riding a Core GTS for a long time, same kite range? the shape of the kite is closer to which kite
switxhkite nitro
cabrhina switchblade?
thank you

It's closer to Switchblade.

I don't think that's an issue, since both kite and bar are brand new. Not enough wind on the other hand might be the case.

Had another session with this kite. I'm getting pretty used to it. But I found out that feedback on the bar from this kite is insignificant. On Soul I can hold it with my fingertips, I can feel the "sweet spot" where should I keep the bar for appropriate amount of power, plus I know where it is and ...

Water:

- 3-4 hours of riding
- Barely walking when I get out of my car

Snow:
- 1.30 to 2 hours car ride
- 2-3 hours of riding
- Barely walking when I get out of my car

Get more confident in jumps and actually land them. Start doing first tricks.

That is not fine. This used to happen on first SLE kites up to around 2010, when they started making shorter bridles. Either the bridles are super long on this kite or it was underinflated. It might happen from time to time on a super hard crash or in the waves, but not a "couple of times" in a ses...

Doesn't look as shiny as on preview indeed. There was no other option for this size anyway.

I've managed to finally get my XS out of the bag and test it. So I'm gonna write my first impressions, what I did like and what I didn't. Mostly I'm going to compare it to my FS Soul 12m, which was my main kite so far. Kite size: 14m Wind conditions: 10-18 knots Surface: Snow, quite thin layer, but ...

Blade Tiny Beast was developed as kite for kids.
