Would be nice to hear comments from riders that have ridden both Havoc08 and Royal Era.
I have had now Era10m for two months and it's even after RRD HyperTypes the best kite I have ridden with in 5 years.
If you are looking a kite with all the definitions and features Dax and other have said here about Havoc08 then you absolutely should also try Royal Eras.
Nice pictures of Era in here http://picasaweb.google.com/Mads.Bording

Would like to see some more comparison tests
2008 Havoc v's Rebel v's Helix v's Waroo v's Rev??

Anyone flown these kites side by side for good comparisons?

They do look nice, but why are they so expensive???
Realkiteboarding quote them at 1700$ for the 14. That's Cabrinha pricing!?!

Oz pricing is pretty hot. Really like the 8 and 12 Havoc I've tested so far too.

RRP AUD Complete

Rev 11m $1799, 13m $1899

Havoc 12m $1679

Sweet looking kite, Kirk, do you have a picture of the boardshort harness? (not a drawing but the real thang?) How well do they fit?

Thanks,

Mayhem.

or on youtube

I have tried the boardshorts on, pretty amazing how good the fit is and there is no diper feeling to it at all - Need to try in on the water though, I have only been wearing a sample in my living room so far :-p
