Rider:beginner
80kg
138* 41 cabrinha board(sync binding) Finally some decent wind ,this is my 3rd session onthe board and I ride in both directions without much problem.During 7 hours on water the kite dropped only 2 times due to my mistakes and relaunched instantly, gusts 30 knots or more soaked like a sponge. I think I can repeat myself that its perfect kite for the beginners- perhaps thera other perfect kites but for me this is it.Its actually much easier to ride in stronger winds, the upward pull of the kite is so great that it simply makesyou ride and if you start from shallow water just keep it high also you can just park the kite and ride for as long as you wish its that simple.Never or less in this wind kiteboarding makes sense to me and Im looking forward to more days like that.I wasnt going to make any more " strong recommendations " but I do just one more Cabrinha sync bindings, the best thing since sliced bread .I had 3 others on my feet and this stuff absolutely rocks, no Aden I didnt have them on at the same time I have only 2 feet by the same token I didnt fly 3 kites at the same time as you thought I simply had my 3 lessons with diffrent instructors on diffrent gear - perhaps you can fly your REVS 3 at a time or in a bunch like baloons.I actually saw that crap from Peter Lynn in pairs.Anyway the bindings are great and maybe they make riding the board so easy and comfortable .Personnaly I feel greater connection with my board than with my wife!!!!!!!!.To repeat after Professor they simply like sleepers.Now I am not going to recommend my board I did pick it because I liked the colour and since we all like diffrent colours and some people are colour blind I will keep it to myself. CHEERS

Didn't you previously post a thread claiming the kite was crap and you wouldn't reccomend it to anyone?

Did you choose your brand of kite because you liked that colour?

You should try the red ones, they go heaps faster

Obviously you didnt read my first post and the one you meant carefully enough including responses from sunseeker and kiteaction.You should also read between the lines.Funny that you did mention red colour since thats my favourite it makes you stronger and faster also it does itimidate your oponnents but does it make a kite fly faster?!!!.

Funny you did mention the red colour, this is my favourite colour it makes you faster and stronger also it intimidates your opponents does it make your kite fly faster?.


Red reflects and adsorbs ultra-violet and infra-red rays from the sun differently than any other colour. This in turn creates a temperature differential across the surface of the canopy and therefore makes the air thinner and produces less drag over the kite. Hence red kites go faster.

Another large contributing factor is due to the 'Jockey Effect', whereby the owner of the kite is a total knob jockey. This effect is greatly magnified when the owner is only 14yrs old, and his mummy has just bought him his first kite, and for some reason this kite is a million times better than the 2m trainer he's used to.

Hope that helps.
