Anyone flew these kites? How do they compare? Tried the 9m Octane and 9m DNA, the DNA turns super fast but bit too fast to my liking. The Octane was very instable and the bar pressure was like impossible to feel. Anyone found the same and what kites would you recommend I go for instead? Looking for a fast turning kite but has good control and feel. No shops/sponsored riders response thanks.
I got a DNA 6m for bigger winds and I'm really happy with mine... turns real quick (though its a 6m so it wud turn fast anyway :-) ) and is really stable... Im a huge fan of them and would buy again
9 mtr Octane unstable (instable) .. you have got to be kidding.. My 9 parks like a mini in truck zone ![]()
I bet you didnt fly the two kites on the same day. You seem to be new to kiting. Both kites are very forgiving and will suit a beginner-intermediate rider. I'd suggest a second hand DNA to trash while learning and save your money for that 2 kite quiver that youre gonna need when you become hooked.
Have to agree with Milko, my 9m Octane is as steady as a rock in winds varying from 15 to 30 knots. As for feel its the best kite I've flown for feedback especially when wave riding.
Constant winds,

Thanks for replies guys. Tried them both again yesterday in same condition, the Octane definitely chokes a lot more than the DNA so I bought the DNA in the end. Thanks for all your advice guys. ![]()
