i second the Underground freewave 5.8 , a joy to ride in waves and chop , a must try if you can get your hands on one.

i spent time on here looking at posts about kites, one stage i thought the pl gorilla sounded great with its auto zenith! ah to be young and naive. no one in my town i new that kited, only 4. couple of other types of kites i was interested in at the time. i never heard of bows at the time of my less...

i find the vegas over the rebel can jump higher, but not as long hangtime. the vegas turns easier , by that i mean, you use less force to steer the kite back for your jump where as the rebel you really need to yank the bar to send the kite faster back, i sold a 08 9 meter rebel last year to buy the ...
