Its such a great movie that i do not even want to say to much about it but i have spent the last couple days rewatching it and knot future as always has produced not only another masterpiece but noe really is showing off a masterclass in what all surf and skate movies have ever aspired to be.

I am very very very excited to see what noe does one day with paragliding films as paragliding desperately needs a real how do i say... GENERATIONAL change in theyre film making.

Thanks heaps knot future for the ridiculous amount of time spent making this film and for releaseing it for all of us to SEE what kiteboarding IS all about (no matter how much the industry pushes easy ca$h towards the big air and foil market!! )

Everyone give it a watch even if your not into freestyle and wakestyle you will soon feel relaxed yet energized by the timeless editing and music.

A complete masterpiece 10 out of 10 millenials idoliseing gen Xers yeeeeooooooo

Hmmmmm,
Turned it off before the opening credits finished. I must have a short attention span.

On a different subject,, what is the go with the sell forum? Just about every add llisting a kite claims the gear has only been ridden a couple of times. Is that the standard seller speil these days?

Keeps setting off my BS radar.

Selling kites is ART

theyre just idiots who havent sold **** in theyre lives probably

First thing you need to do is ask the buyer where they plan on spending the 400 hours that the kites good for be it mostly at theyre home spot or maybe on different holiday destibations flat water or waves this info is critical that way you can check the location and what the wind will likely be and theyre the buyers physical size and ability. This gets the buyer thinking... they might even realise they probably dont intend to spend 400 hours on this kite so maybe a 2nd hand one thats got a few hundred hours left in it is better for cost saving etc maybe they can get 2x 200 hour kites of different sizes to then fill that wind window which would ACTUALLY get them on the water more then 1 brand new kite.

Once the buyer then realises what exactly they want then you can really help them.

Pwople saying hardly used still crispy are like fat people on a diet drinking diet coke while eating an extra large meatlovers with a swirl of aioli its just lazyness and lack of ability. If they really cared to sell theyre gear theyd get a profesional kite salesman like myself to sell it for them.

But how hard can it be?

Its called a Vortex for now. Hopefully whenever the new Edge is released it will have an UltraX option.

Yeah Nah my 8m V11 goes bigger, loops fast & is wayy cheaper than the Vortex... No point wasting money when the Edge has already been spotted going for double loops.
They should just make a pro range 8, 9 & 10. and get it out there instead of being left behind and losing customers... Jamie is why they have the Vortex but again - too slow to release and their best rider to put them on top is gone. Bugga

Have you tried them back to back? The Vortex is a very capable boosting and looping kite and Ozone tells us it's their biggest selling kite at the moment. Five strut hang time is hard to beat though for sure!
I've got a 13m Enduro V5 Ultra X coming, and I purchased it after demoing the 13m standard construction several times, the Enduro in Ultra X should also be a big booster and double looper.

Did back to back test with 3 kites.
My 8m V11 Edge - versus 8m Vortex & 8m V12 Edge.
The 8m V11 jumps the *** Highest***
Then the de-tuned 8m V12.
And last is the Vortex.

Vortex is the fastest and easiest to fly, compared the more technical timing needed by the edge - to access its race bred performance. Which is also why a lot of people backstall the edges from lack of tuning knowledge...

The Vortex is plug and play with turn speed - that cost it the extra height in the 'trade off'. Making it a easy choice for the average Joe.
Like I mentioned - they were too slow to develop it for Jamie Overbake who was Monster jumps and tricking in comps but held back because of turn speed... so they lost both himself and the best person to put them on top...

The Duotone Evo and Rebel were at this same point until the aluula Rebel came out, and now the evo is being put out to pasture as a great all-rounder and the Rebel the big jumper...

Funny how things change once their Both on an even footing and the wind is at the Top end.
