North Orbit ?
They always have random results, without half of the best brands in same categories.

@TheRussian It was a tricky year with brands struggling with stock due to Covid etc... North were super keen to get us an Orbit but it didn't come through in time in the end. It will be in next time and be great to see how it stacks up against the XR7 and the Hyper!

I see the flysurfer boost in there and wonder why the Peak4 is not included in the lightweight section.
Not surprised, but certainly its a bit disappointing for something so groundbreaking to be ignored.

Possibly add revisions as & when kites become available - pity there were no kites (of those mentioned above) that could have been borrowed?

Can't believe how light the Slingshot RPX is can't wait for the full line up of kites to be released.

I would love to see a proper review of all the Big Air targeted kites in the market, with two sub-cateogries:
Big Air/KOTA and Big Air/Old School
Big Air KOTA:
Dice, GTS, Orbit, Supermodel, Enduro, Raptor/RPX?
Big Air Old School:
Rebel, XR7, Edge, XS
No one is deep into wakestyle anymore and wave targets very different characteristics. Foil is its own animal.

I know you have to be complimentary to brands, but a 10/10 should be for something exceptional. It weakens your message if I see several boards with a 10, eg build quality, one with Innegra heavier and one with carbon lighter, Im confused why they both get a 10?
