she had 10h of lessons with an IKO certified teacher and she's at a stage she can ride but downwind... he couldn't make it this past weekend so I figured she could practice under my supervision...

you got me thinking with this... i don't mean this kite is useless... I just think that a kite that doesn't fully depower under every circumstance and riding condition isn't ok for a beginner..
still I don't think this title is bad publicity for BEST... most opinions here are supporting this kite (and I also do for intermediate or advanced riders!)... whoever is considering buying a Kahoona will read everything here and their own conclusions... as i said previously: this kite is good looking, easy to use, well build and has a competitive price!

i think only a kid would act this way... i'm giving here my sincere impressions on this kite and luckily we're "building knowledge" in this forum about this kites with everyones opinions...
I thank everyone who has dedicated some time, thought and consideration reading, organizing your own reflections and posting it over here.
