Best kahoona 2015
Is this a good kite for average rider? Are the bridals with all those pulleys problematic or prone to tangles or getting caught on wingtips?

Re: Best kahoona 2015
I'm the average Joe in regards of kiting, being in the sport since 2006.
I bought a 2015 9.5m kahonna several months ago, and I'm very happy with its performance. No problems with the bridles, despite its number and length.
Very predictable, pulls like a truck and quite fast, it's a good all-around kite.
Would recommend it if you liked previous kahoonas or waroos.

I flew the 2015 11.5m, it was honestly one of the worst kites I've ever flown in terms of feel and performance. There are SO many better kites out there.

Re: Best kahoona 2015
@dylan don't agree with your opinion.
The kahoona does everything well without being perfect at anything. It's an all around kite.
Of course, if you're looking for un-hooked freestyle this is NOT your kite... but can be done
I find it really friendly with the user, in fact, I always recommend it for people who are learning or that are into freeride.
Compared with my trusted 13,5 and a friends' 11,5 i see the 2015 model as more "C" shape (considering that older models where quite flat).
