Someone has never used Cult 15m 2008?
I’ve finded a good offert for this kite.
I’m 90kg and I don’t know anything about this kite.(hard or soft in the bar, fast or not etc etc.)
I search a kite for light wind, with good low end.
(as an alternative i've finded a Naish Torch 14m '08)
Any opinion?
Regards
Alberto

I never got to try the 08 15, but if it is anything like the 09 You'll be happy. I guess they did some adjustments to the design, so it will not be exactly the same..
Which is better between the torch an cult, I think really depends on what you want to do. They are different kites, both with good low end, and different qualities they excel in...I think the cult will have a better low end...
light on the bar, the 09 is a super low wind kite...lots of power..but I am not sure how it transfer.

I have tried it side by side with my rhino 12...
it fast turning for a 15, but no good low end. I am 52kg and was doing much better with my rhino than with the cult in exactly the same condition (swapped kites several times during the session), wind being around 10-12kn.
really not a light wind kite

In my opinion a very fine light wind kite. All of my friends coming from different kites tried it and liked it as well.
However, at 20m lines without the 4m line extension Naish started shipping with it mid release some of my friends had to get used to the shorter power stroke in lightest winds.
If the Rhino 12m is a much better light wind kite then the Cult 15m with 24m lines the buy that kite. It must be the shit.
