Just thought I'd throw it out there. Have been kiting on a surfboard recently and have found my rev can be a bit sluggish on the turn. Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,

I've been reading a review about Wainman kites and apparently the designer him self is a wave rider and he designs the kites for wave riding.
I haven't tried it before and I'm not a wave rider so all I'm talking about is nonsense but it's not a bad idea if you do some research about it
Anybody seen my can o' worms? Oh well I'll just open up a large bottle o' pimp juice and aggro argumentive crackers too.
Hint pathking: Under the blue tabs bar with Forums/Alerts etc do a search on 'wave kite' and be learned up real good. 
no.
There are many variety's of wave, wind direction and strength/gustyness
Not one is perfect in all conditions.
Half the battle is figuring out what kite with what adjustments works best in your wind conditions.
I like three strut kites. Wainman is one of them, there is also Ozone light, eclipse kima, LF envy, north evo? and all the rest. Try those out.
...search button: you find it a little higher above........this thread comes back in ridiculous frequency.......anyone is so desperate to sell...?...
...I hope some of you are getting something out of these threads...otherwise it is just a free advertising for the brand gangs....

Idiot (It's wierd to title you like that, why did you chose such (l)user name?)
Kitestock is coming up with a lot of brands to try and lot of kiters to talk to. I wouldn't buy anything before that.
id back up what mr float said - low or medium AR with direct lines for steering, but Id also add it should be full profile throughout (including the wing tips) this will help you alot when you over run the wind window past the kite and leave it on the extreme edge. Tuck, lean forward, get spat out, look for kite, oh ****, Turn turn please turn now. the flat faster kites will head for the drink every time.
My fave is the GK Trix in this scenario. it always works.
I find Delta style kites suit me, what I like is the torquey/static combined with the pivotal turning leaving you able to adjust quikly to changes as they come..other cool things from these kites is fast relaunch in waves
low end grunt meaning you can ride a smaller kite than normal...less kite equals more surfing...Just the power from the bar can allow you to adjust in situations like tube riding or take off speed or bottom turns etc.
The delta kites I have flown are bandits and airush lithiums...but others that look gr8 are core, best-kahuna, even rrd passion looks sik. I like to fly my kite more than park n ride and I am a bit bigger guy around 90kg...
Which leeds to another thing..kitesurfing as a bigger guy is an advantage allot of the time being able to use kite to deliver 90kg of beef thru the lip again and again...Hhahahahhaaaa (evil laugh)[}:)]
Oh I have a mate who rekons rev 7 a little that way but heaps of rippers on em...at that level of kite its gonna come down to technique more than anything...progresion is a awsum thing.
try adjusting the bar pressure on the back of the kite to the least amount of bar pressure setting it made my 11m rev 2 faster to turn with less bar movement??
works really well
