not to piss on your parade or anything but i think the reviewer missed the point on these kites. the different settings drastically change the feel and performance of the rabbits.

with the settings at "average" turning speed, you will get exactly that. average turning speed. iin super high wind for certain styes this is preferable. had you changed the settings to "downwind" on the front and "fast" on the rear, it would feel like a completely different kite. whippy, fast, grunty, lively, etc.

maybe the reviewer should go back and fiddle with settings and rewrite the review.

Thanks for the suggestions. Indeed you have a point. We were unaware of these options. Mostly since we where not instructed and started to investigate this after testing. The only thing we can say on it, is that for "average" settings it was not responding "average". We cannot believe anyone would set it to slow for example.
Next time we will look further and test the effects of resetting line options.

i had a 7m gypsy once that came setup with upwind and mid on the rears. felt terrible. slow reacting but i suppose for wakestyle this might be a good thing.

you said ''this kite is not responsive'' then ''this kite might be good for wakestyle riders'' and at the end '''this kite is good for only pure wave riding''. totally unique review. :D

Iam riding the rabbits 3.0 for more than 4 months now and before i was riding the 2.0 for two years and i can tell you that your review is not accurate at all.another mistake is that you said that the rabbits are specific wave kites.Rabbits are excellent all around kites and you probably need more experience in the water to realize that.

keep doing what you doing but this is my opinion.sorry about that
