Article reveals results in physical units of N force and kg weight. That's a big step towards objectivity.
Did anyone put this data in a single table yet?

Awesome idea. Wish I had the time to. It's fun to look at but not easy flipping between pages.RagingGrandpa wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 8:39 pmArticle reveals results in physical units of N force and kg weight. That's a big step towards objectivity.

Re: Kite Mag Kite and Board Test Results 2019
I like reading tests, but sure thing you can identify when a specific brand is being pushed too hard.
I think for most of the people Is not so easy to actually test different brands, i dont know in other countries but in Brazil, apart from Ceará, generally you will find one or two brands in each region... now the situation os kinda changing but, still, you need to be lucky to have a demo day nearby... so we tend to rely on reviews notably if you have interest on a brand that isnt popular in your local spot.
We all know that is impossible to be 100% neutral, the reviewer bias can be d/t financial incentives, comercial partnership, or just pure personal preference , however it is possible to “read between the flattering words” specially when pure technical data Is showed in the review.
Anyway... thats the beauty of this kind of forum, you can find sincere opinions (and rant!) from real users... By the way there is a source for reviews that seems to be as much neutral as possible, ”weteskites”- the guys over there seems to put a real effort in giving a detailed description of their feelings regarding the gear.

Re: Kite Mag Kite and Board Test Results 2019
9 british pounds for six issues is crazy? What was the biggest lie in the magazine for you?
