If people would consider me as kook because I wear board shorts, therefore stay away from me...

I don't have much of experience on my XS, didn't have the appropriate conditions to ride it through. So far that's what I got: Generates loads of power really quick, bar pressure on default settings is too light to be informative, great stability, a bit demanding to jumping technique, but rewards wi...

Always wearing boardshorts over my wetsuits. It's convenient because of pocket, where I keep my keys and soft water flask. Besides when I learned to kiteboard I was told that one should wear boardshorts to be on style and not to look like a seal.

Large LEIs work well for many people and work better for many people, unless they race. Not everyone has a suitable spot to ride LEI, time to deal with bridle tuning.. Foil kites win races but there’s a cost to those victories That's quite an outdated view on foil kites. 15 and 17 LEI kites are hea...

Soul has a classic 1:2:4 which pulls kite evenly, this Smile bridle pulls brakes more. Maybe you're right. From my experience I didn't see t...

To be fair, I don't even know why am I creating this thread and review, since I have no brand affiliation, nor do I sell those kites, nor do I know any international dealership of this brand. Probably just to brag. :roll: ParAAvis is the Russian brand that sews foil kites as their byproduct, just li...

^ So u close to them, and able to order? Which size u got? Yes, I can order them. Not sure if I can be a reliable middleman, never done that before. But to be fair, ParAAvis kites are ridiculously cheap, even with delivery cost and some middleman fee they're still ain't even close to the prices of ...
