After a few days of snowkiting on my old Burton Seven I decided that I want a new board for snowkiting. I felt that the board was too soft for snowkiting also the tail on turns was all over.
So I ordered an 157 board for me.

I had a chance to ride a 10 m for 2 days in Islamorada.
And here is my feedback:
Out of the bag the kite looks great, high quality work on the product and cool graphics.
I didn’t play with any settings on the bar. Just inflate (one pump works great), connect the bar […]

I got to fly this kite decently in Puerto Rico. I flew it in a variety of conditions (super-light & raining, super-gusty & raining, 18 knots and sunny), including flat water & waves.
The Package
It comes in a tough red and white bag made out of thick nylon. The bag is expandable […]

Finally got to fly this kite. I’m behind on some gear reviews, so I’ll throw up this RPM preview while it is fresh in my mind. When I get around to it, I also throw up a review the Ozone Flow foil I have been playing with and the REV2s I bought […]

Picked up an used 10m rebel to compliment my 14m rebel. Colors are blue/awesome color Pink. I weigh 195 lbs, and I ride either a 132 Cesar in the flat water, or a nobile shinn in the heavy-chop/surf.
Upon taking the kite out of the bag, you see the normally quality of a North […]
