My 2007 Liquid force havoc could not go a single session without something new breaking on it.
Not to mention that when the wind picked up the back lines would go completely slack while the kite still pulled like a truck. Seen this on another LF havoc too.
Definitely my most hated kite.
At least it didn't attract sharks like your current kit Matty!
Perhaps sharks know a dud meal and stay away from shonky kites.
First tube kite I ever flew was a Gaastra prototype. It was enormous and terrifying. I hear they're good at making windsurfing gear.
Naish AR3.5 7mt. Pink one with the turtle on it.
My 1st kite (bought 2nd hand in 2000) and I've still got it. Stupid kite shop recommended a 7mt for me at 75kg. Covered in tape from where I tore it to shreds on some cliffs up north.
Shocking kite. Jellyfished like hell, never stayed still and only got going in 25kn+.
But hey, it was a pioneer. And the poor performance could probably be put down to the rolled up ends from a 2 line, held with cable ties.
Can't seem to throw it out though. Anyone collect antiques?
Thanks for the tip only demoed them when they first came out and the kite flapped around alot especially when we crashed it into the water.We then tried to tune the kite up and it still was happenning.Good to see North have recognised the problem and fixed it apart from that the kite did fly well.![]()
