Too much time this past season messing with one pump. At first I thought it was a good idea, but as soon as I did my first repair I had second thoughts.
Also, the tubes, cleats, holders and all the other parts just make the kite more complex than it needs to be.
So far:
GK Sonic 2008 - One Pump
North Rebel - Manual pump on all struts and Leading Edge
Royal ERA ?
BEST ?
Naish ?
Cabrinha ?
Ozone Sport 2007 - One Pump
Others?
Non One pump 2008 kites?

Have done some repairs on one pump systems, and I don't find it hard to fix. But having to move the pump to fill up each of the 7 struts, that is not a sale move to get me buying a kite. I will def. go for a one pump system.
Edit: I follow the whole "more complex" thing either. I usually don't close the airflow on the struts, and therefore it would be "less complex to me".

Naish::Sigma::Code, from what I've read here it is the more affordable version of the Cult....5 struts
check out the vid of the cult...seems to be a jumper too
http://www.naishkites.com/sigma/cult/cult_home.html
..but the code is the individual pump kite....maybe someone else can comment how similar those kites are?

will kitesurfing equipment slowly turn into the bullshit tech that is windsurfing equipment, that is the question, not that it has not already started happening...
equipment for riding, not marketing
