@galzohar ,My mate just testen the new one and own some ‘25’s.He thinks the changes are quite big and noticable.Quite some lighter bar pressure, faster steering en more direct kite control. He thought he was on the Evo he said.Sounds good but I wonder if it also lost noticeably amount of hangtime as a result. […]
I'm in Nor Cal and I've seen a big decline in the used market. I attribute it to the older generation of kiters transitioning to winging and less younger generation entering into the kite market. Less kite gear sales = less used gear available. For the younger generation (Millennials+Gen Z) most don't have the time […]
Hey guys,I just don’t get it — why do manufacturers still insist on making the tiniest possible hole for the flag-out line? A couple grains of sand and the whole thing jams solid.Do they ever actually test this stuff in real beach conditions?This particular bar drives me nuts every time I have to flag the […]
It's a bit different at brainchild as they just print the colours on the kites. Its pretty simple, cost friendly to create a niche kite in low numbers comparing to old production ways.Statistics: Posted by suisd12 — Wed Oct 15, 2025 2:09 am
I ended up buying the 2024 14m Juice DLAB at a discount. I am very happy with this kite. It flies like an Evo DLAB and jumps like one too which is exactly what I wanted.Well, it is the same kite as the old evo dlab...Statistics: Posted by suisd12 — Wed Oct 15, 2025 1:58 […]

Cool they do that. From engineering perspective makes more sense to specify kites aimed at a given weight. ( like a light rider kite and a fat boy (or girl) kite.Statistics: Posted by vakiter — Wed Oct 15, 2025 1:24 am
Yeah. It is really difficult to sell cheap kites currently trying to sell:7m north mono 2017 -40€8m cabarete rippehr 2008 -35€9m cabrinha convert 2010 -30€9m Airush varialX 2014 -45€Not great kites and they do have some repairs, but none leak air, the fabric is still strong (except the mono) and they would be good for […]
I imagine it's a tough market segment.I once owned a 2013 cabrinha switchblade 11 meter in pink and teal. I bought it around 2014/15 because it was brand new and the price was good.One of my female kite-surfing-buddies always mentioned that she loved the color scheme, but truth-be-told, I was rather unhappy that it had […]
