Airush Varial X

Rode a the new varial X they other day for the first time. Only got the ride the 12m, was pretty powered in about 15-20mph of wind. I was stoked on the kite, jumped super well, and was fast and stable, really loved the kite. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Looking to get a smaller size one, probably a 9m, a...

Re: Should I buy a Naish Torch 2011???

wish i could agree, not a fan of it, loved the older ones tho. i rode the 9 and 11m from 2011. they seemed to have pretty narrow wingtips compared to the past years and other C's. i think this is what made them unstable, but looks like they have widened them up again for 2012. not saying they are ba...

Re: Should I buy a Naish Torch 2011???

I wouldn't...relaunch will be a bit tricky compared to the switchblade for you girlfriend, and out of all the C kites out there, to 2011 torch wasn't too good in my opinion, just really unstable. I rode torches from 2008-2011, and they were all great kites, except for the 2011's. if you really want ...

Re: Which Caribbean Islands have wind right now?!?

i think barbados is probably your best bet, althought i think it is still a little early for the caribbean to be windy, pretty sure the windy season starts up for real around late december

thanks

Re: Help please with freeride board choice ???

If you are riding in choppy water a lot, I would not go for the Xenon. I would try to find something a little narrow in the tips, making the board slightly rounder throughout, this will give it better performance in chop and small waves. If the board is super square I find it tends to throw a lot of...

Re: Wilmington, NC area

you just have to walk way up past everyone on the beach at the N end. Be responsible, last thing we want here is kiting to get banned, and some rich homeowners on wb are pushing for just that. i guess you can kite around the backside, will still be a bit gusty, but i have never bothered. it is kinda...
