Any news on 2014 Parks?

Would be not too bad... But I hope they go back to 20m lines plus extensions for bigger sizes. I tried to convince Robby last year, when I met him... 20m lines are so much more fun! Someone told Naish that European kiters prefer longer lines because of the wind range... this is definitely wrong! Extensions are so convenient...

Fully agree with you WaveRider001!
Despite the fact that I am a "European kiter" , I have chosen to use a 2013 bar equipped with 20m lines with my 2013 Park quiver (this lines length was available through a special order).
Maybe 24m is OK for freeride or freestyle, but 20m is a must for Waveriding and smaller size kites.

+1 on the 20 meter lines. I got an extra set of 20m lines.

If I see it right they could let people just choose line lengths when getting a bar. Then set it up in the shop. Would take about 2 mins, and the shops gets to add a bit of upselling time.

Seen a new torch?

Thanks for your support! On smaller sizes (8m/6m) I love shorter lines for freestyle too. Kiteloops are so much more fun! Especially unhooked kitloops with my 8m Park...

@taut: I hope you are right. I don´t want to buy 2 bars and then pay another few hundrets for 20m line sets... I think I have to keep my extensions anyway when I sell my 2012 kites. So, I can order 20m lines and still use my extensions for bigger sizes...

well I don't know..but I suggest you take it to the shop..ask them what they can do for you when you get the kite.

woa, that is the shape of the Park? Any call on the differences? I have a fellow kiter here who tried it, but he wasn't sure about a direct comparison to 2013 as he has never ridden a park that small.

No pulley anymore on the Park
