Lift 2002 rock,i've flown my 12.2 9.4 all year but mainly the 12.2 11-25knots as i'm heavy. Not flown the 2003 stuff but it would take alot to make me change my equipment in 2003

The big Pro Lift (19.5) is a bad one. It jelly fishes. The 15.5 and 11.5 are great kites. We have a local Airush team member. Haven't flown them myself.

The 2003 Lifts are more stable and user friendly than the 2002 Lifts. They will not backslide and stall like the 2002 Lifts and other 2002 high performance kites could. The 2003 Lift is still a fast turner and big lifter.
The Pro Lift is FAST! It is made to move quick and generate loads of Lift. It likes faster board speeds. They have more lift than last years lift. The 15.5 looks like it is about as fast as last years 9.4.
Dwight is right about the early 19.5 Pro Lift. It does Jelly. Word from Airush is that the first shippment coming has that problem solved and there should not be any more Jelly fishing from the kite. It does turn very quick for a big kite.
The New Flow is also looking really good. I talked to a very good rider that has ridden them a lot and he said they were really good. Airush is doing a good job. I rode the Lifts all year and loved them. They just don't have the fancy marketing like some companies have. If you get a chance, give them a try.

I just got the new Airush Lift Pro kites.
I am in South Africa - Cap Town for the sumer.

First times with the 11.5 LP - it is the best kite I used till now by far.
It is fast, but controlable, the jumps are very high, the kite is stable and have a very big wind range, even with out using the de-power... Low end is very good, and High end is excelent...

Thanks for the Airush team and Svein.

Hi,
I have a brand new lift pro 19,5 made 15dec in factory, and that do not jelly, but fly very good. As fast as the old 12,2, no stall backwards flying or that stuff, very easy to egde as well and it jump very high in light wind 10-12knots. I did not try the other sizes, but will hopefully soon.
I am pretty sure, this will be among the very best kites in 2003.
Lift pro is much lighter made then lift.
Peter
