Yesterday Thanx to James at alliance I got to ride the new envy. The kite is extremly stable and flys well. The jump technique for this kite requires alittle more aggression than most SLE kites, If you try and jump it like an SLE it will give you a nice soft floaty jump. If you try flicking it like a C kite you can get it to rip you off the water. I was quite surprise at how hard it ripped you off the water when you got the technique right and you can defiantly get up high with it.
We have just put the following LF kites in for demo if anyone interested:
10.5 Envy
10mt NRG
9mt Hi Fi X

KSS Altona in Vic also has demo's available in the Envy, NRG and HIFIX
Plus boards DLX, Element and Drive
The HIFIX has been a hit so fare and of course the Envy's. The NRG has bucket loads of power and hang time.
Reviews on the gear will be up soon.
Have been riding the 2012 10m NRG... it boosts ![]()
Tried the 2013 NRG 10m the other day in 22knts (i'm 70kg) was waay powered. defn goes big. too grunty for wake.
i'm trying to get back into unhooking wake style tricks and yesterday had a go at an 8m 2013 ... loved it. So i'm buying a 9m envy for surf and wake.. i'm sure it'll still boost. might keep the NRG for those crazy days you just want to go big.
If you are on the goldcoast, see Moti at the Tweed kite store .... has demos.
The new NRG is great for upwind and it give huge jumps with long hangtime, its also not bad on a raceboard :)
why would you even compare the park to the envy?
park hands down i found the turning speed on the park faster and in heavier wind i was more comfy being a beginner i felt like it could take more wind speed!!! where as being a novice the envy was nice just not for me i think.
