Review for
Monkeykites Griffin 2006 12.0 Times tested: 2-5
Range: 12kn to 30kn
Good: Best jumps ever, amazing wind range, great simple convertable bar system. No problem transitioning from C kites
Bad: Bar pressure more than a C kite, when in pully mode
Review: Also trialed 15 and 9 Griffin in pretty much all kiteable winds from 10 to 35 knots. For me this is the pick of the bunch an all round fantastic kite. The Monkey bar system allows you to lock in the power, even when fully powered this kite turns incredibly fast. The jumps are high and floaty, relaunches easy, the only dilemma for me was which one to order, ( I chose the 12)
