I have just returned from a vacation in Cabarete where I had the pleasure to test the new Ovando 7,9 and 11. This is the first time that I have ever flown an EH kite and I was very impressed. The bar is clean, simple and well made. I normally do not like the feel of bow kites but the Ovando is different, the power is clean and constant with just enough depower to handle the biggest gust. The kite gives incredible lift, jumps are huge with unbelievible hang time. All I can say is that I am looking to buy one.

hi guys, about ovando my hunch is exactly the opposite! I tried this kite for the firts time yesterday and yes... I agree, it was powerfull and quick but, it was extremely prone of backstall and the power it was on/off like no others!
but maybe I should try this kite another time before to judge!

you need to check the trim line isn't too long by about 5cm . . . my 7m came with this . . .
the trim line is to be about 25 cm long . . . all four lines are equal when the bar is up against the trim loop and the depower strap is set to full power . . .
the lines need to be attached to the knots furtherest from the kite on both front and back lines . . .
