I have to agree with the comments made about the Envy -
Very smooth and quick re-launch.
Amazingly light bar pressure that makes it a joy to fly.
Great speed in the turn when the bar is powered.
Great de-power with the bar out - which makes it super safe.
Nice that there is a one way valve on blowing it up!
Very impressive . i want one
Tested the Envy today n my god, it is as Padi said - a 'WOW' kite. I am so upgrading to it. 
just some pics of the new 2010 boards. the 138 influence with single to double concave ans the new Liquid Rails and the Varial Kiteskate
Awesome! Cant wait to see it all start to arrive.
I am very keen to see how the recut concept comes out, but I think these are a little way off yet.
The new boards look super slick with allot of new technology in the top end boards.. liquid rails, new cores etc.
I have a 138 Influence grind in Melbourne if anyone wants to take it for a spin, as well as sample of each kite.
Is everyone decided on which kites they are going to ride? Is the envy still the stand out for most people?

With wind like today we dont need boat mate! You were flying with the Envy!
wish the concepts wud hurry up :| gona get me one of those skates fow showwwwwww
Good to see they put a floater on the donkey dick. You should make it bright red so you can see it tho.
We've had a cabrinha rider loose his chicken loop after pulling his quick release. He wasn't using his donkey dick and lost the lot (they sink BTW).
Wish I saw the look on his face when he went to reset it and the chicken loop was missing.
I'm very interested by the Envy.
What about the wind range of the Envy ? Like 2009 Havoc wind range ?
15-28nd for 10m, and 22-35+nd for 6m ?
the envy is really worth looking at i have tried both the 2010 havoc and envy, imo the envy is a much nicer kite to fly, it is faster, smother and boosts better. the havoc prob has a better bottom end but i still managed to get going (just), on a 10 envy in 12 knots and i am 80kg once the wind picked up over 15knots it was sweet. i will prob be buying a 12 envy for this year.
Had a 6m Envy out on a small kid last week and wow, it flew in next to no wind! Easy to handle I think this will be the most popular kite this year for kids/girls too.
I won't get to use it that often, but they are very stable kites and I'm going to feel alot more confident teaching my oldest daughter this year on it.
More boards arrived! Visit your nearest distributor to test!
Influence, Kaos, Recoil & WLF Ltd..... Influence is my personal favourite to date, but cant wait to try the others today. The Influence has good flex, pops and lands easy & comfy as, and most important of all, smooth comfy ride with the comp lace straps. New kids size straps & pads also came out this year, bright color funky graphics. There are also 2 sizes now for the Mens Luxury straps kits.
LF has never had a swivel in any of their kites.
BJW: LF kites have no swivel which lower costs and keep things simple.. It only takes a few minutes to attach one anywayz.. Besides, ya should learn all ya moves fakie/ switch aswell as regular/ goofy, that way the lines will untwist for ya.
Tried the new KAOS board (a 139x42) yesterday. OMG, feauturing a pants tightening, red stained timber top with decals, this board makes me wet. By far one of the sexiest boards ive come across. (Hey Padi, can ya post some saucy full page spreads of the Kaos).
Not only does this board look the goods, it feels as awesome to ride.
I was a bit sceptical of the rather square nose and tail for fear of the usual blinding spray that results in choppy conditions.. This board did not have any
Maybe this was due to the very thin rails and soft continous flex profile; aswell as the taperred tip and tail. For quite a large board in size, i was impressed by how small it felt to ride...
The multiple concave base really sucked this baby down on the water, and edged upwind like a board should. Because of the wind dwindling arvo yesterday, i didnt have a chance to really test its release and pop apart from a few launches off the choppy swell, which felt very similar to the influence board.
In summary, The LF Kaos board is a freestylers delight in flat to choppy conditions. Its responsive while still having a medium amount of flex to feel exactly whats going on underneath it.
Super stoked i had the pleasure to caress and ride her
Next shipment due to arrive this Friday Chauv. Have you tried the new Envy kite yet?
