That looks awesome, I hope for more brand crossovers. Where is my Flysurfer Peak Fruit loops edition?

The idea of a Porsche design kite is not a bad idea, but if the only difference is the graphics, why not go more bold? Honestly, if I saw that kite in the air at a local beach, I would think it is just another Duotone Kite. The Porsche design aspects are not conspicuous.

It should have been a solid color with “Porsche” written across it IMHO.

Personally, I could care more about the function of a kite than the graphics, but I have to say that I really enjoyed my FlySurfer Silver Arrow so many years ago.

How embarrassing is that!
A brand that knows nothing about kitesurfing.
A brand that belongs to the organised crime (Volkswagen).
A brand that is known for extremley inefficent, planet-killing cars. Cars that emitt 20-30 times the allowed concentration of NOx (not in the US anymore, there they had to pay some billions fine, but in their homeland Germany and elsewhere they keep on poisoning us).

I wouldn´t use that gear even if I got paid.

If I owned a Porsche I would be all over it

I agree, a the Aluula Rebel is what many are waiting for, especially since the 2022 redesign
Have you seen the prices of the Dlab kites? a 10m Rebel in Aluula will be £2600 kite only.

Perfect for a Porsche crossover then.

It just seems so random! What kiters actually drive a porsche to the spot?
Its a random combo and just a different colour with 911 across it.
I think I will stick with my bandit and not pay extra for branding sticker

FYI I own a 15m Aluula Juice

I am specifically waiting for Aluula Doce and Rebels, so annoying D/T has been slow to roll them out. The Dlab Neo recently announced does offer more teaching opty though

it should cost less than the regular version. I mean there is some advertising on it. it is like when you download an app on your phone: "free with ads"? :)

Just a quick question.
Does it worth upgrading from a 2019 14 m Rebel to a 2022 Rebel Sls? My 2019 is still in very good shape, crisp and I love the yellow version.🙂
If anyone can please share their personal experience

Oh shut up
Polyester, PU, carbon, HD foam epoxy all of them combined in factories using the lowest possible wage cost, in counties with terrible environmental records, then flown thousands of miles by plane so you can do your “green” watersport

And come home to spout on about how Porsche is evil
