Yep, Definately, the Airush DNA is awesome in the waves. I ride the 9m or the 6m is 20knots plus.
In 30 knots, the DNA 6m on 15m lines is insane!
Can't speak much 'bout the others, but DNA is the winner for me.
Good winds,
have ridden dna and rebel but not the bandit.
But the 08 DNA out of any kite 08,07,06,.... I have tried is the best for me for hooked wave riding and even unhooked in side on (for side or side off it doesnt sit quite far enough forward in the window, like the generator does, makes it hard to do anything other then ride down the line)
Like carbs said such smooth power through turns never feel like you are going to get pulled off your rail, yet there is always juice when u smack the lip.
try it dude.
Bow kites for park and ride.
SLEs for slash and turn.
C kites for adrenalin....
and try and use the smallest, fastest kite where possible.
EDIT: and before pornstar gets here, use a NEW kite they rock!
I had fun on my 10m FlySurfer Psycho3 and Spleene 159 x 43 Zone (snowboard technology) going toe-side upwind as well as down the line today at Scarbs when many others were walking back up the beach. There were some nice waves coming through every now and then
But if it's >=18knots then the 6m Psycho3 or 6m Speed2 is the go. As meerkat says the smallest and fastest kite possible .
The Wind Wing rampage 2 is awesome in the waves. with the 9.5 and a surfboard you will get going in quite lite wind and be riding in pretty strong wind. its well priced, durable and works as a one kite quiver.
Sup............
What ever you do before you make your mind up try a REV slingshot. You'll kick yourself if you don't.
the dna are much lighter than the flows meening they drift back in the window with u!! hope that helps!
dna may win the crown for park and ride but if your into more of the slash and hack then a 9 or 10 meter rebel might be more your bag baby. if your in perth then i would imagine its more the slash and hack in summer conditions? maybe i been looking at the wrong surf beaches in summer while in perth .. lol.. but i cant imagine a park and ride in 4ft onshore slop!
thanks bellz and kitehard for the info
I'm stickin with the sle flow 10m2 this season
but like the idea of the dna
cheers
