Solution: - reduce 12M kite line lengths to10 meters and everything will be fine, one kite quiver.

OMG, is there a multi level marketing thing going on here with the xenon boards? I'm looking for a new board at the moment, and have asked questions about several boards, with maybe one or two or NO responses. The moment the word Xenon is mentioned there is an overwhelming amount of forum praise! M...

Another 2 cents:-

Dozens of people here are more interested to sell you something or promoting his brand than sincerely trying to help fellow kitesurfer, each and everyone of them will tell you his is the best or he knows best.

I agree the above said Nobile 50Fifty is the best overall, but some of its advantages lost in choppy condition , and it is expensive.

I'll not go into specific brand here but i would not recommend any second hand kite unless absolutely necessary, you don't need the latest design but 2010, this would save you a lot of money and a lot of ha...

Raptor is a good board for an intermediate rider with medium flex for choppy condition. I still find it too hard for my own use in chops but some of my friends love it. You may need to check out the screw and pads if you are serious about buying second hand. The screws/pads are the first to go with ...

No one can tell.

I agree the fin colour should be bright, can't Xenon change the colour like Nobile do?
