Maybe you should try the kite again and see how it performs in the LOOPS. But hold on to your pants

Magnus I hope you read my review. Cuz i really did talk about the kites performance rather than just say it is amazing.Either way, in my opinion, Epic is one of the most pimped kite brands on this forum right now. So for me, personally, I would like some more info on how the kite actually performs, not just post after post talking about how it is the best kite in every aspect... When it is said to be a good kite for looping, I would like to know how it loops, if it pivots or turn
Absolutely agree. A true flagging option on the front lines is the best for some. This kite does not have that standard but would be super simple to add. All you would need to do is add a metal ring to a frontline since it already has the mickey mouse ears.When it comes to the safety of the bar, I'm not convinced. That mini 5th as it is displayed in the pictures doesn't do more than depower the kite some more than letting go of the bar (the difference is given by the distance between the stopper ball and the mini 5th attachment point where the two front lines meet). For me, I prefer a true flagging ability off of one of the front lines or a real 5th line. I agree that you can achieve this with the O'shit handles on the back lines, but this is not a good permanent leash attachment point.
I just checked Epic's website and couldn't find a specific label on the kite. I think many riders are just saying it has some c-kite feel. I know my friend (a good cabrinha rider) said it feels more like a C. I have flown C's and this is the bridled kite that has come close to the same feel.It's only that I'm getting a bit skeptical when I see an SLE kite announced as having all the C-kite characteristics. That's a claim many companies bring forward these days...
When people come to the beach and tell me: "I heard so many good things about this kite can I try them. What type of kite is it, C kite, Bow kite...?"
My response is: TRY IT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT TYPE OF KITE IT IS.
