Hey guys, I'm an intermediate kitesurfer. weight 90 kg. I have been surfing a Naish Cult 10.5 m for the 15-20 knots winds in my area. now i'm looking for a new kite and can't get any real advice about:
Naish Park 11m 2013 and f-one bandit 6 11m 2013.
also as i said i am used to the Naish bar and the depower system and hear bad review about the bandits bar.i would like to hear some of your experience.
thanks
vova - we have been selling Naish for a few years and just picked up F-one.
Both of these kites are great kites and backed well by local distributors which is a plus for everyone.
while i have not had enough time on the F-one to comment on its performance totally it is a well built kite, fast turning and jumps very well. F-one have tried to deliver a kite that is good for everything and have done pretty good job at it (in depth review coming after the new bandit has been flown)
The bar and lines are well put together but a pet hate of mine is a pull towards safety, that would be the only quirky part of the setup.
Naish Park has undergone small changes each year to become another good alrounder, while not as polished in some alrounder aspects it still fits the bill nicely! great build quality, very fast turning and good wind range are some of its positives. on the bar side im not a fan of the below the bar depower but can live with it, you can order with an above the bar setup if you want to go down that route.
overall i dont think you would be disapointed with either of these kites!
iv had the park from 2011 - 2012 and now 2013, definite best model so far, huge wind range, and good power.The bar is horrible, iv had my 2013 since March, its already starting to peel along bar, the swivel works as good as any swivel does - 3 hours from brand new and its gone, have to dip the swivel in some hot water once a week to get it going. im not a fan of the depower below the bar , it gets irksome in 30kn and when storm fronts come in and you need the instant depower
other than that its a good kite
