Drool.....

If it performs anywhere near as good as my XR2 LW 17m, then I think I will be selling up my 10.5 and 8m (Naish) and getting a 10 or 9m kite to replace these both!

Have had excellent use from mine and great support from the factory!

Bring on the Demo Day and tell me who to make the cheque out to!

Regardless of what the kites are like - this is an awesome promotional video. Professional and motivating to buy.

Unfortunately the Core is not for me but everyone else should enjoy it.

Wind and great waves

Yer.
I had my 17LW out yesterday in bugger all wind. Forgot just how good it is. So much low end grunt. And I guess you could call it torque - from waterstart, half a dive of the kite and park it. :)
Nice floaty boosts too.
With so much talk about the new zephyr was thinking of demoing one, but not too worried now.

I had an amazing session a couple of days ago on my xr2 17lw ,10-15knts ne just blast around in the surf on my tt such a fun kite for its size turns similar to my 13m drifter and those big floating boosts , always amazes me you can have so much fun under 15knts

Funny, U don't find them that fast. I tried the fast turn setting but did not enjoy the performance. Needs to be tried again... Anyhow, speed is not an issue for me. The 15's low end is excellent, With 6m extensions, I easily cruise sling with 17's and 19's, look at the Fat Ladies from so far up wind that they are a dot. I h?te th?ses f?tu thought. They li? When they say the kite falls on it's back and it is time that those companies be held responsible for the crap they advertise. The 15m has excellent range, 7 to 22-23 Knots for 93kg

Hi Guys,

I have kite school in Mui Ne, Vietnam. http://www.kite-n-surf.com/

I have a 7m, 9m and 11m for demo if anyone is the area and wants a go.

Some nice improvements from the XR2.

Turns faster, has more power and depowers more the XR2,

Short-bridle is nice for crashes in the waves,

And for those that like to jump, HANGTIME is amazing!!!

Oh, the new inflation system, very nice also!

Well worth a demo if you have the chance!

Cheers

Rob

Be interesting to see how she rides in all the disciplines it says it does. Anyone know what AR this kite is at? Shorter bridals a definite plus they were way to long.

Anyone ridden one yet who can give a review?

Maybe someone who hasn't ridden one before could take one out and give their opinion.

Or someone who has a previous model could do a comparison.

Just a thought.

Still waiting for a good day to have ago myself!

Bring on Summer!!

cheers
