Hi all there was a post on here about mrkitesurf which i posted on, well its missing now so here i am, i got one of these kites i think it was about the 17th of last month i got a 9sqm and haven't had to many good wind days yet as i live in the uk but i must say from the few we have had i'm pretty impressed the quality is pretty good the performance seems great. i land board by the way (going on the water this year) they seem very fast at turning to me and have good lift the bar pressure is light but not to light you can feel the kite and the de-power is v good lots of it to almost nothing at it furthest away all in all a good kite worth every penny i paid for it. Which i was worried about before ordering but i should not have,as it's excellent. thanks for reading this and any coments are most welcomed
this is the kite in 5-10mph winds

Hi djbandit,

I'm as curious about these kites as the next person, but what you have posted is next to useless as a kite review.

You dont kiteboard for starters, and you are telling us how good the kite is after you flew it in 8knts of wind, unhooked on a school oval.

You say it has great depower, but in 8knts of wind who cares?? Go fly the thing in 35knts of wind and tell me how stable the kite is and how good the depower is.

I could go out to my garage, pull out my old 2000 wipika airblast and guess what: it will fly around exactly the same as what you have shown here.


Here's a serious question tho: These kites use cheap nylon ripstop material as their canopy. Does this stretch like buggery when the kite flies?? from the pictures on their website I'd say it does??
