Normally - accidental eBay purchase. That 'late night after a couple of beers - thats an absolute bargain!' kind of purchase.
Rode as many contenders as I could and picked the one that suited me the best...I know, boring reason.
They had cool videos eith girls in biikinis chasing kiters..thought it may work for me.
and how are you going with that?
1. compulsive buys while away at work.
2. graphics. i like bright things kind of like a bird i guess
3. general look and if it makes me feel comfortable as a complete kit?
North Vegas. 8. 10 . 12.
Flew one of my mates and loved the massive bar pressure compared to my gear at the time.
Fast turning
The wake style setting if dicking round doing down winders :-) love them
Cool so the general consensus so far is
1) The kite has to be the right fit for the style of rider you are e.g. Wave - Wake - Snow ect.. or an all rounder
2) Graphics and Colours
3) Getting a good deal without sacrificing quality or performance
For me personally I agree with the the above points, trying before buying I thought might have been in the mix here somewhere too??
A second hand bargain, in great nick, without peeling valves would be nice haha.
And something c kiteish
When I first got into the sport I HAD to have a cabrinha because the kite had a bad ass skull on it. I rode those till I baught My pride BWSurf Sea Sheapherd kites, yep, with skulls! lol. This only just accured to me. Funny thing is, I dont even get into the whole skull thing, I mostly just like girls...
