what is the best kite that you have ever tried and what for like for example
the 2009 hadlow pro for freestyle because...

the bullaroos go pretty good for freestyle

best kit i ever ridded is 2010 rrd obsession 12m, easy forgiving big busts if you went, greet from 14-23knts, any ridin, want to progress to waves hence the obssssession
Loved it so much bought a 9m too, different animal though, damn quack, have to be switched on, intermediate and up kite
dont let the spelling nerds hijack your post mate

that sounds like the 07 yarga's stable and consistant power

7.5 KAHOONA .SIMPLY SIMPLE EASY FUN! DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE TO YA!

Anything in 35+ knots puts a horn on a jellyfish!

I rode a 3m Ozone Light once.. But best i've flown is a 7m Nomad :)

No bites for BWS kites from the sunny coast?

I actually ride a board and fly a kite

Anyway, Ozone light has my vote for fun

Is BWS another Ben wilson thing? I don't get it....

Actually - I change my mind... Best kite I've flown was my very first kite - 2002 Slingshot Fuel... Not much can beat your first kite for fun factor...

2011 slingshot EFI

I have been kiting for - well almost since the begining in Australia and am just an average kiter on flat and surf - just now progressing into surfboards in moderate surf.

Kites have included; Slingshot, North, Globe Rider, Best and more. I kite an average of 3 times per week and up grade to new kites every year

Most kites now are good just depends on the individual and what motivates them.

These days I ride Griffin Argo Kites (declaration - I am now a strong supporter of Griffin) as I enjoy waves more and more on a surf board and would recommend these kites to anyone wanting to get more from wave riding including down the line.

Admitedly I haven't ridden a heap of diff kites but I loved my 2005 9m Yarga. Everything I wanted: stable and forgiving, agile enough for me, great boosting and waves - even a pizz easy 5th line relaunch. Pretty safe - for a C kite - too. Got is for about $350 (one yr old) and got 3 seasons use out of it. Would have eloped with it (almost).

Ha ha - used to feel like the poor cousin at the beach with (at the time) one of the few C kites going around. Ba ha ha - now look how many Cs are back in town.

They should just keep pumping out the 05 Yarga year after year I reckon.

Basically that is was the current Team Yarga is at the moment, just with the new age construction. Great kite.

Sorry for going offtopic, but that made me kinda curious..
I used to think NSW is not the best region for kiting? (Compared to Melbourne)

8.5m Vapor II/III/X any of these rock. Simple, easy to fly and fast as sin.

Reply: I could say its because I ride Griffin Kites but.... I have a very flexible life so can go almost when ever the wind blows. Here we can kite in surf in SW around via E to N winds and flat water SSW via W to N in several different locations. eg as we all know this time of the year is not good with this year being as bad as it gets however in the last 2 weeks I have kited in good surf in SW and SE wind so once per week at the moment. In the peak period we often kite 4 to 6 times per week sometimes more and occasionally if the body can cope twice on some days. My 3 times average per week was just a guess but would be close.
