Just wanted to drop a line to anyone who's considering a new kite. Just moved on to the Nova II 12m and 9m - the first bow kites I've ever ridden after moving from a Cabrinha C. Absolutely stoked at the performance of the Nova system and within a week I feel I've improved dramatically. The safety features have provided me with a confidence that I'd never experienced in my short kiting career. Compliments to the boys at Stonker in Torquay - no pushy sales pitch, willing to talk with guys from experience to my level of being a newby to the sport. Aaron and Alex are happy to demo kites which they did for me prior to purchase. The after sales service didn't stop after I purchased the kites so if you're in the market - pop in and see the guys.
