steve c Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 ok been kitesurfing now for a year i fly a 10 and 16m best buler im looking to upgrade my kites im looking at a kite that is easy to take off good from water good lift and stable and quicker throw the air any help would be greatfull thanks Quote
vinny Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 GK Sonics are worth a look fella. Easy to launch, great safety features easy to relaunch from the water if you wipe out. Let go of the bar the kite falls to the edge of the window sits on its tip waiting for re-launch. Or the GK Trix. The Bandit is a nice piece of kit , there self righting !!! Quote
crut Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 I can vouch for the GK sonics. Great kites. The 8m sonic is the best kite I've ever flown Quote
steve c Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Posted May 9, 2008 any idears on the delta f1 or nobil 555 or north Quote
Charlie C Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 th north rebel pretty sweet kite (the 08 ones), had a fly on a 9mtr in tarifa and loved it. Very responsive. Quote
KiteItRight Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 The North evo is Epic been playing on it recently, i love it mate but if you wanting to upgrade go c kite North vegas you wil never look back and performance is on another level to all that has been previously mentioned in this post. its got just as much depower, and i would even go as far to say its safer Quote

steve c Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Posted May 9, 2008 yes but just want a better kites on the water im keeping my bullers for on the land Quote
Enders13 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 I've not actually flown the bullaroo, I have a customer who does. The reason he bought it was that the bull as opposed to the waroo was more grunty, slightly faster in the air and all together a bit more agressive. This years waroo has caught up with all that and the same chap is considering the new Yarga, it's supposed to be out and out comp kite but not been flown enough for propper reviews, we'll have one in soon. Alot of people who consider themselves above intermediate love to Best Bash, I've seen some amazing riding by pros on them so I don't see the problem. The new bullaroo is due out soon too. Ok that's your best brand loyalty dealt with, the quality across the board is excellent these days. Any one riding a certain brand will tell you how good theirs is. I've flown Nobile, Flexi, Best, North current models and none have dissapointed. My preference is the Vegas 2008 out of that lot though a short sesh on an Ion 2 left me very impressed by a 4 line kite. You'll really need to see your local shop and get a demo of at least 3 different kites, spend a good ammount of time on them and make your own mind up. Flying back to back helps alot too in comparisons. At the end of the day it's what you like and not others, the only way to find out is to have a go, otherwise you'll spend dollar and maybe not quite get what you want. Read what the manufacturer states as it's where they've targeted the specific model. Best advice from riders is the kite's weaknesses/problems. Quote
steve c Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Posted May 9, 2008 Thanks Enders13 some sound advice there can you tell me what the diffrents is between the buller and the vegas or should i stick with best the problem there is so many new kites out all claming to do diffrent theing diffrent set ups safty and so on is there a better kite than best or is best the best ????

SoggyUK Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 The short of it is, if your **** your ****, if your good your good, independant of kite choice. Quote
jonathand Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 id go hybrid c kite and get the inceased performance. either 08 north vegas or 08 best yarga if you want something a bit more hardcore Quote
harry_a Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 yeah vegas would be good.. the yarge may be a leap as theres not much depower there but the vegas is really good range wise. Quote
hankster Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 i've flown an 08 yarga and can vouch for them the yarga just seems to keep getting better every yr much better,in fact i've flown a best waroo back to back with the 08 yarga and prefer the yarga by loads. Quote
denny Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 The GK Soinc are the most under rated kites on the market . But are the best kites . if it all goes wrong just let go of the bar 100% depower in the blink of an eye like one of the other theards said . I bought mine off a mate and he went on to the ion 2s but he still gets on the sonic to do hes big jumps Quote
steve c Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Posted May 12, 2008 thanks guys some intresting things there said have to have a go on some of them thanks Quote
steve c Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Posted May 14, 2008 ok what would you go for nobil555 08 kite or the vegas 08 Quote
KiteItRight Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 ok what would you go for nobil555 08 kite or the vegas 08 Steve unless you like light bar pressure, get a vegas. the 555 is a bridled kite same old same old and will be nothing like as nice as the vegas. The vegas is the ultimate in high depower c kites. Wheather its waveriding freeriding or freestyle you are into the vegas wil give you more confidence, has better feedback on the bar, and jumps huuuge. you wont regret it:) Quote
crut Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 ok what would you go for nobil555 08 kite or the vegas 08 Go crazy and try some? Quote
