some nice comments from the KBM crew in their brand review bonanza issue:
:
on the Airush Vapor - Speaking to riders the Vapor is certainly a kite that is generating alot of positive feedback right now.
"The bar HAS to be one of the best in the test"
"Airush have put one of the biggest efforts of all companies into their chicken loop"(this is actually the same trigger release design that has been used for 3 years now across the range - some really expensive tooling went into this product)
"in general all the testers were pleasantly suprpised by the Vapor"
"It is one of the best all around kites in the test"
There is alot of "all kites are quite similar talk" going on right now - as there always has been - there really is a difference between cheaper brands (particulalry those that dont budget for progressive r and d) and those that are developing and pushing the sport forward (in safety AND performance)
I cant tell you how many dodgy bar systems i have seen on supposedly "better value kite brands" that havent done any real testing of their safeties (let alone flying refinement) - some of the incidents from these cheaper brands are well publicised...here on seabreeze.
