surfdoode2 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 I've finally worn my first kite (a 10m Blade Vertigo Hybrid) into the ground with almost every part of it snapping after 5 years. Any ideas on what to get? I loved the quick turning and excellent depower on my Blade Vertigo so would like to keep these in my next kite but would also like to buy one of the more modern kites designed for wave riding. And of course the one pump system, I hate pumping my struts! Thanks for any suggestions, Mark Quote
leighd Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 new hadlow kites, have great depower with that extra attachment with the quick turning of a c-kite! Quote
cowboy54 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 kahoona V3 is a great all around kite and liked by alot of wave riders,. Im sure some of the newer Blades would be good Best bet is too try and demo as many as you can and go from there, Im sure if you contact a shop that deals in something you like they could arrange a demo, or even try other folks kites at your local spot Quote
g0nz01599968659 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 Slingshot Rally is worth a look if you want fast turning & good depower. Quote
Kite Kid Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 Do you want 2011 or 2012? new 2012 kit will be in stores soon. Maybe check out ozone c4 airush lithium Naish park or even the new blade kites if you were a fan. Quote
grunner Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Make sure the new kite doesn't have pullies (if your going to keep it for 5 years). I like the Cab SB but hate the expensive pullies that rust out. I have bought an SB each year for he past 3 years, but next year I'm thinking about the Slingshot Rally. Quote
plummet Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 another vote for C4. Sweet hybrid C with no pullies. Turns fast jumps well and is good in the waves. Quote
OceanRodeo Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 *insert whatever kite i own here* That sums it up. Made me smile Quote
g0nz01599968659 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 *insert whatever kite i'm selling here* fixed that for you Quote

surfdoode2 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Posted August 18, 2011 How about the Fone bandit 3s? Tried one of them the other day and loved it think it has to be a 2011 kite really, don't wanna spend over £1000. Quote
marman Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 If YOU loved it, then go for it Good kites, the 4 is much nicer though hahaha more power in the turn, more stable Quote
16stairborne Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 You should check out the Renegade by Epic Kites. We had a demo day recently from evolution kites. I was very impressed with the 11m Renegade which sounds like the type of kite your looking for Have a look at them on evolutionkites.co.uk Quote
