Money vs performance it’s probably my kauper XT 6m
Love it for foiling.
Good wind range from about 12knots up into the 20s
Of course my 10m aluula roam is objectively a better kite but it’s 3x the price

Re: Which is your favorite kite right now?
Today my favorite kite is the soul 10 m for airstyle and freeride. Great upwind, floaty jumps and good height range 10-28 over TT.
Now I have got a Soul 7m which is a bomb. It is compared to the 10 as a muscle car with a race car, fast exciting jumps very high and floated. By manual it flies + 14-36kn but the most exciting comes after 22. With that my expectations are complete

Re: Which is your favorite kite right now?
My favourite at the moment is the 5 m Maverick (Kauper XT). Great range, great handling and awesome drift. Have a new toy coming in though, ask me again in a month

Ozone instinct 3 strut proto 17m, 2009?
Such a great kite right now. Seriously lightweight lei. Seriously still holds air. Used it snowkiting a few sessions this past winter and it ate up the crappy wind conditions like no other. Money vs performance its nooooo contest.
All out performance favorite and snappiest for its size most fun-to-use kite for me -
2017 10m Flite

2016 F-one Diablo v1 11m on 11m lines (strapless race foil) I’ve put sooo many miles on this kite, trashed it, repaired and replaced bits, just keeps going. huge wind range. Totally dialed in on it.

Re: Which is your favorite kite right now?
Can't say that I've been through many kites. All of them had issues and I was not 100% happy with them. Even my current Eleveight XS has some negative moments. But I can not judge it fully until I bring it on the water. It's a great kite, yet I can't call it my favorite right now. Also I'm waiting for my new foil kite to arrive, I have tested it and it was an amazing wing, which might be my fav one.
