Mmmm bintang good....mmmmm and yeh back to 2014 kites. Said on other post, saw one of those strutless or one strut or something Airush kite out today. Weird looking thing, guy was going alright but I was not convinced about the rigidity of the canopy, deforming etc over the whole wing, only subtle but their nevertheless. Not sure about it hey
... tried the Naish Draft 17m a few times now.... the short review is, it isn't my cup of tea!
Slightly longer: The faster I got with it, the heavier the bar got. I don't mind a heavy bar but after 10 minutes or so racing around you get tired of pulling the bar in but if you relax, power disappears. For example, on my kites if you wanna relax, let the bar rest on the stopper but be prepared for a little less pull, but the Draft looses most of the power, causing you to come off the plane. Not only do you loose power but steering is heavier and delayed. Is this a bow kite thing??? I figure you got to ride around with speed all the time with this thing but if the wind drops a little every thing gets slow and heavy.
I think they tried to make it feel direct steering but ended up making it really too heavy (relative to other kites I have tried) almost circa 2007 or 2008 bow kites. Bridles make the kite feel soft and delayed or spongy you could call it. So for me its way too much bow kite style.
There is one stand out performance though, and that is it wanted to jump well and has good hang. Having said that, 10 minutes of jumping around and you need a rest.
I tried it on a Sector and a big surf board but yet to try it on a twin tip so it may be completely different performance with a tt edge allowing it to fly differently. Dunno yet???
Construction of the kite is outstanding by the way and one of the nicer looking kites out there so its not all bad.
Until I try it in different winds and different boards, I can't say if its a goood or bad kite yet, just not my cup of tea!!
cheers,
Robbie
Seen a few leaks...

Mostly Cabrinha Stuff but maybe some other brands
Otherwise look here

Not much in it hey, wider wind tips, with different bridling might explain the higher pressure. Just guessing though don't really claim to know anything about that technical side of things. Edge bar pressure is very light. I have it on the middle setting mostly so I get a little more feedback, find the lighter bar pressure to light. The zephyr just right. man I have some ****ing awesome sessions in Bali on it, just lot free riding out back, my own playground, with a few directional goof bags coming out for a bit now and then and doing wicked bottom turns..ooo yeh man!
Robbie, get you on the zephyr while ya hear if it hits the upper teens. But don't wreck it ya big bastard!
sry guys, but the internet connection was f***ing bad !

Thanks flyinglocke, I have been trying to get some info on the new cab gear, good work!
What is the go with the Overdrive bar?
-Is this an adjustable bar in the traditional terms i.e. purely based on bar length increasing the range of one bar up to 16cm (decreasing the amount of bars needed for a quiver). Is cab still doing the 65,55,48,42 cm bar?
-or is it more of an adjustement type setting i.e. "overdrive" as the cab advertisement says. Is this just a type of on-the-fly steering line adjustment system?
Also I see they are offering a 5'11 for the subwoofer this year...sweet i need the extra volume.
The hollow octagon pad pieces on the boards look like they would rub like **** when surfing and the more edges the more likely a pad is to peel? All specualtion of course, guess I'll have to wait to demo this board!
You can change the bar size in the water / by riding.
Its very easy, you have Tod pull a small line and you can switch to small er or bigger one.
I tested the squad,skill, xcalibre ,drifter and switchbalde.
Kites are much faster as last year, The new Direct line setting with a V is good. Safty hie? about one centerline !
With the Y length change, is the new bar still backwards compatible with old (pre '14) kites?
And can the '14 kites fly on the old bars ('13 and older)?
Cool Best got rid of the two strap thingo, love the above bar single cleat, wonder what LF have for us....
