delaref Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 I have a range of kites but was wondering what is the best kite for kite lanboarding? (as a general rule) Quote
kiting mad Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 depowerable kites are very good and have stromed the market over the fixed power foils ! Quote
belblade Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 depower s seem to be the way to go flexi are bringing one out soon .......... might have to get myself one kiting mad and delaref 1 1 Quote
sprogg Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 The YozII is an excellent boarding kite and can come with depower. Very stable in gusty winds. If not that then a Frenzy. I have both for sale at the moment, a 9.5 Frenzy and a 10.6 YOz Quote
Westwood Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 how much you after for that frenzy? kiting mad 1 Quote
littledevil Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 if u kite mainly inland and have some gd kiting experience then i wud say guerillas r quite gd and nice and lifty for jumping. blades are also pretty gd for landboarding. Ben delaref and kiting mad 1 1 Quote

the_lone_wolf Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 mountainboarding? the new generation FS kites are the dog's danglers, voodoo and the high performance P2 are the best bridled foil kites out there at the moment:) Quote

Synchro Posted July 24, 2004 Report Posted July 24, 2004 What is the new flexifoil depower called? Quote
the_lone_wolf Posted July 24, 2004 Report Posted July 24, 2004 Best bridled... Does that mean you prefer the arcs???lol, thought someone would ask that, in my opinion no, the arcs are a good design, very stable especially, but for power/turning/lift/float/etc etc i prefer the P2, it is one amazing piece of kit, even better than the phantom (IMO remember;)). but there are some who swear by them, and it's them i didn't want to start a war with kiting mad 1 Quote
delaref Posted July 24, 2004 Author Report Posted July 24, 2004 Thanks for your adices. I wonder if the Strick is a good kite for kite lanboarding. Ok the Strick is a kite for kiteboarding but we can do big jumps and it has a superb stability, reponsive turns. kiting mad 1 Quote
Woody1599968629 Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Thanks for your adices. I wonder if the Strick is a good kite for kite lanboarding. Ok the Strick is a kite for kiteboarding but we can do big jumps and it has a superb stability, reponsive turns. Urrm, do you mean the Flexi "Strike"??? The Strike is a medium aspect KiteSurfing LEI. Not really the best for starting out KiteBoarding (land). I'd recomend a Flexi Blade III, a smallish one to start with. delaref and kiting mad 1 1 Quote
Synchro Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Aye, my bro has just bought a 3m Blade III, for starting out on land and that is ideal. kiting mad 1 Quote
delaref Posted July 27, 2004 Author Report Posted July 27, 2004 I'm not a novice. I have a Bullet 4.5, a BladeIII 4.9 and 6.6, and a Npw5 5.6 and 2.2. I'm looking for a kite to do big jumps like a kiteboarder! Quote

I'm looking for a kite to do big jumps like a kiteboarder! hi delaref, it may be difficult but the best thing to do is try to find others flyers who are willing to let you have a go on their kites. that way you can find the style of kite that you will finally want to spend some euros on. as others have said, try a depowerable bridle kite frenzy/fly surfer, and try to get a go on a twin skin peterlynn type guerilla/phantom. saying all that, you can get pretty blooming big jumps with some of the kites you already own. both the 4.9 and the 6.6 will get you some decent air once you get the hang of being on wheels. delaref 1 Quote

littledevil Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 hey kiting mad sorry bout the delay haven't checked this thread for a while (only when i looked at me rep to find some anonymous git had neg repped me ) yeh wud recommend the g2 very nice to fly but not the easiest beasts to launch/land solo. great lift and nice float (not as much lift as a phantom) they're gd but wud say if u can wait and save that little extra bit get a phantom really nice kites the 12 was pulling me nicely before my 13 g2 was getting that fun. but is ur choice man just be careful with whatever u do Ben the_lone_wolf 1 Quote
