Thank you for your input mz16! Maybe we're using in different conditions. I was teaching my girlfriend at a place with water a little below the chest height and with some current (river gorge). She dropped the kite, it was pulling her, she ejected successfully and was still being dragged because it tends to sit on the edge of the window (easily relaunchable!) but whenever you use the QR, you want all the power to go away! I understand on shallow water it'd be really easy to just stand up, stay there, do whatever you wanna do, and relaunch it...mz16 wrote:Sorry but I couldnt disagree with you more. I personally dont really like Kahoonas, I ride O.R. kites. However I have taught many many people with my kahoona V3, which i specifically bought for teaching the girlfriend (and succeeded!!!). She loves it, so do all the learners, the kite pulls hard and is super easy for them to control and relaunch. Theyve had not problems with QR, and love the simplicity. Best thing for beginners is that they dont have to worry about it, it just sits there while they are screwing around in the water, trying to figure out whats going on.
I like that the kite goes big in jumps and is super basic, but its not great for more advanced riders (too slow and boring). Sorry to disagree, but I cant think of a better option to learn on. Saying that having tried most brands out there.
