Hi

I've been using the viron in kiteschool for a whole season right now and I really love it. You can give it to anyone and be sure that it's more in the air than in the water. We're using 12 Virons and so far didn't have one broken kite although we tried. the hydra which we had before is complete crap compared to this thing.

pro:
f*** stable
durable
perfect relaunch as long there is enough wind (much better than every SLE!)
good for first board starts for light kiters like children
no tangles on the water so far
first starts in highwind use

contra:
for normal-weighted riders it needs a lightwindboard an 25knts for going upwind
doesn't really jump at all

it's just something in between trainer and real kite.

bye

I'm looking for a second hand Viron, if there are any out there.
We have a 3m Hydra that the kids use. Fun and simple for the price, but now they are ready to move forward and a Viron is the next step for us.
No flame against the Hydra. It performes as advertised, the price is right and it takes a beating for sure. We will be keeping it. We have a chicken loop tied on for the option of hooking in, no depower though.
