Hi all, I saw a review in a recent issue of one of the Kitesurf magazines, I think it was an American publication. The review in question absolutely 'cained ' the RRD supertype as being slow, and amongst other things of poor jumping/ hangtime ability. I am a fairly advanced rider, and I have investe...

Hi there! the glue I use is commonly known as 'Superglue'. It's manufactured in the UK by a company called Locktite, but I'm sure that you can get it anywhere in the world, but possibly under a different name. For very small holes and splits I use the glue on it's own, just a little each side of the...

Hi!

Not sure if this is the right thing to do or not, but I always put a small amount of Superglue over the hole, just to seal it.

I've done this on anything up to 4cm splits, and it seems to do the trick!!

G DAY SHANE!

Do you use Supertypes yourself ?

Where in Oz do you ride?

Coxy

Good point !

Perhaps the paint is expensive !!!!

Here in the UK an 8m X2 will set you back about £ 680.00 and a Supertype in the same size will be £ 850.00. Just wondered how they justified the price difference ??

Coxy

Hi all !

Can anybody offer me any advice on which 8m kite to go for.

The supertype is approx 20% more expensive than the X2, is this due to the quality?

Need to decide today, so any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Hi,

can anybody give me any tips on how to boost more air ?

For example, I'm riding a supertype 12 on a Brunnoti Hellfire board in about 20knts, but I'm still only geting jumps of 15-20ft max.

Cheers,

Hi All !

Do any of you guys have experience of the above in either 8m or 12m.

How do they compare performance wise?

Any info would be appreciated!

Cheers,

Hi Royce!

As I have said before, i'm really impressed with the performance of the supertypes!!!

I'm thinking of replacing my 2001 type 4 8.9 with a supertype 8 and my Mach 1 18.1 with a 19, how do the smaller ST's perform, are they like stunt kites??
Coxy

Could this not be related to the same problem that I had, where the kite would stall because the front lines are to long?

I have tried shortening the front lines as Royce suggested and it does seem to fly much further forward in the window and no longer stalls in light wind.
