Hmm. I don’t think there’s one company that’s miles ahead of the competition. Most make a great booster, looper etc. I threw some savings at new XR kites and Fusion board last summer and love all of it.

It’s not worth it to drag your lines through sand and debris just to do a pure water launch. If you’ve got no space or anchor for a simple self launch then you should be asking yourself why you’ve chosen to kite in that spot. The clip above is a perfect example of what to do with good side-on wind o...
