Hi all.just wondering which kite has the lightest bar pressure.I tried my mate's airush vapor and it is way lighter than both my switchblade 3 and my torch.I really like that in a kite and will definitely want this characteristic on my next kite so before I go and hassle the shops for a demo,can you guys recommend kites with light bar pressure and decent build quality?
The Naish Cult or any of the M shaped kites, i found their bar pressure very light.
Lightest bar pressure of any kite they've flown is one of the most common comments made by people who demo a Flysurfer
they are all right and all wrong.. lightest bar pressure is the rider that uses a decent stopper ball low enough to stay powered all the time.
another vote for the m kites- Naish's cult is definitely very light on the bar pressure
The new 2010 Naish Helix is amazingly light on the bar and still has heaps of bottom end.
naaah Naish is far behind the lightness of the bar pressure of Ozone Edge. Edge 2008 was surprisingly light (1st place), 2009 changed a bit but the light bar pressure remained pretty much intact. I wonder how Edge 2010 will feel :)
Excellent, thanks for the info. The naish and ozone are 2 kites that I always wanted to try anyway. cheers
Since moving to Ozones from Switchblades my elbows have never been better. But I look kind of puny now since I don't get the upper body workout anymore.
Naish cult 2009 and ozone sport 2009 both have super dooper light bar pressure. The only downside I can see to light bar pressure is it's slightly harder to know where the kite is when you get the piss flogged out of you in the surf, but I'm sure this wouldn't matter for really skilled mofos anyway
