If it's wind you want, why don't you sacrifice an old kite?

Finally a way to get rid of all that old crap in the shed. I can feel a sweet summer coming on.

Not me. I buy a new kite when its blowing. Got out on sat on my Kahoona V3 9.5 in 10-16 knots on a surfboard. Awesome, thanks Neil Cassidy Ive finally found my crappy light wind kite that actually can turn with performance. Sunday 20-30 knots and on my Nobile 2HD. I still cant move properly to abdominal soreness, boosting on this kite is a joke, the lift, hangtime and stability were awesome and it loops with no backline slack. It doesnt look like a egg chopped in half like the V1 and slightly less the V2 as it has squarer tips, Id say its slightly lower aspect than the above.
The V2 drifted well, but the V3 needs no imput going down the line in waves, and totally out grunted and turned quicker and more smoothly than a 10m Noise. guys were riding 14m kites and when they wernt able to ride nor was I.
Best sell canopies only so I was able to use my slingshot bar and lines, but best kites are not kookproof,so youll need to buy 2 pigtails for the front, my only critisim and is you have to lengthen the front knot to the length of the forward pigtails to prevent backstalling.

Well I would love to be spono rider but i am not
I was on the BWS test team and rode the noise all of last season. My riding strapless and unhooked has gone from lame to pretty good thanks to the noise .So iam very happy with bws they taught me great deal.
Thanks Ben and co
I have demo the Reos over the past 6 weeks and felt that I may be able to push my riding to the next level with them.
