many just ride one brand and model.
but due to a bigger choice and different styles of kites and performances/characteristsics will there more people mixing their gear?

Interesting to know...

thx

I stick with the same brand which is Naish but have different models.

My lightwind machine is the AERO
My med wind machine is the X2
My high wind machine is the AERO II

This combo doesn't work too badly but next time I'd probably get a quiver of the same kites. Nowdays the kites have a more consistant feel across the whole range whereas back in the day the big kites were too slow and the small kites too fast.

I mix it up.. wipika, slingshot,Cabrina flexifoil
and I mix up the AR also
I even change around the board i am riding
it all has to do with what the wind is and where i am flying,
water conditions ...man its a good thing i drive a panal truck
