Not meant to be another "what kite should I buy?" thread, but curious to hear what people are riding, what they like, what they don't, and if they have future plans (cash dependent) what those plans are.
I created this template that you can copy/paste if you want to offer some feedback about your current foil kite quiver...
Primary style of riding: (Course racing, speed trials, freeride, wave, etc.)
Board/Foil setup: (i.e. Mike's Lab/Spotz2, Taaroa Addict/Sword 2, F-One/Levitaz, etc.)
Kite Brand: (i.e. Ozone, Flysurfer, F-One, Elf, Peter Lynn, etc.)
Model: (Chrono, R1, Sonic FR, Diablo, Joker 4/5/6, etc.)
Sizes: (7m / 10m / 13m / 18m / etc.)
Lowest rideable wind: (6kts, 8 kts, etc.)
Highest rideable wind: (20kts, 25kts, 30kts, etc.)
What you like about your kites: (Upwind ability, perfectly tuned out of the bag, bomb-proof, stability, quick filling, etc.)
What you hate about your kites: (Difficult to launch, poor factory bridle tune, finicky control systems, collapses under certain conditions, durability, relaunch/flag out system, etc.)
Future plans for your quiver: (Sell everything at once and restock with XXXX manufacturer, slowly phase out certain kites and replace them with XXXX, go back to LEI kites (??), buy older models that worked great and fix them up for cheap, etc.)
There's a lot of hype out there and the pros change gear more often than they change socks, just curious what all the non-sponsored, non-independently wealthy riders are doing as we see a bunch of new tech hit the market this fall.
