F-one did really well taking 1st or 2nd in in most categories, kites,TT or hydrofoil. For sure if there was a test their surfboards would have been right up there too.Sun wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 10:15 pmLink Here for those of you unaware.
I think this is excellent. Even if all the data is wrong, it is still a very interesting read.
They do seem to like the Bandit a lot, and it comes with a full spread advertisement.
I do like that they weighed all of their kites though. There are a lot of other technical details to read as well.

Re: Kite Mag Kite and Board Test Results 2019
True, but I still find the relative difference between the gear interesting - even though most of that is difficult to objectively measure.

Brands don't know weight until product arrives from china.

lol - Santa's not real either. Magazine reviews aren't worth the paper their written on, i thought this was common knowledge. Manufacture specs is all the info you need.barrybarryr wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 9:16 am
If only the brands who pay get tested then it gives no credibility to the testing, it becomes a total farce.
How do we know that the awards they gave weren't also given to the brand who paid the most?

If you want paid reviews of Ozone gear head over to seabreeze.com.au....barrybarryr wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 11:33 pmNo Ozone and no Shinn.
Was it the case that only the brands who paid had their kit tested?

Once a German mag wrote real test results many years ago...boy, they were in trouble !
The best is to test the gear yourself. The only way to find out if the gear suits your needs.
