Best Kiteboardings R&D team have been working on a new Delta style kite for a while now, and this morning I am greeted with an email to say that the new Kahoona demos will be leaving the factory set for Oz.

After many internal emails from sales reps, R&D and riders from Best all over the globe, the excitement generated about this kite is similar to that of the Waroo in 2006.

Peter Steiwe, Best Kiteboarding's head designer and his crew of professional riders, have applied all their efforts into designing what they say is the best wave riding kite that the company has produced yet. Like all wave riding kites, it is ideal for beginner to intermediate riders also.

I will know more in the next couple of weeks when we recieve the demos in. Rumour has it tho, that there is a Kahoona pre production model in WA some where being tested now. Ill track it down...

might jump back to best
not so happy with current lot of kites

Hi Joe, thanks for the update. Have been waiting patiently for the Kahoona to get here. Finally a true wave kite . Where and who has this pre-production model? I need to hunt them down, i will put my sorces to work tomorrow. Are you coming over for Kitestock this year?

cheers wayne

9.5 or 7.5 would be sweet over here

Hi Joe, spoke with Choicey today and he asked if i could run the Best tent, looks like i will be able to confirm that tomorrow with him (yes i can). Are you coming or anyone else?

No worries Joe, i got the feeling that there wasnt anyone coming when i spoke breifly to choice yesterday.
Good work, let us no when how why when you got your $hit sorted.

cheers

This is the new Redline Best bar for the Kahoona... For those who are interested.

Dis u say it was called the Best Bandit?

Kristine Boese is not longer with Best.....

I thought Fone had the patent for the delta shape kite, Best need to pull something out of the bag as I have found their evolution to be pretty minimal over the last 3 years.....
Ride the Dos 2 first - It is the benchmark for 09, after test riding numerous kites I believe it is in a league of its own

Its the benchmark.......All manufactures claim greatness an the next best thing since sliced bread and they are. bring on the copies an tweaking the designs Its all good for us riders, look an learn off each others mistakes an make me a better kite each year,I am pretty stoked with the waroo's evolution IMHO

so what if the "kite designers" only use 3 or 4 hours of "design" time to (cough) tweak (cough) a copied kite design, thats hardly evolutionary.

are you now making reference to the waroo "evolution" from the GK Sonic here Cwamit????

Just to confirm, we will have demo Kahoonas at Kitestock next week.

Also will have the Nemesis HP, Waroo, and Guroo there as well.

Thanks Joe

Nah, no one pump.

since the 07 waroo, i am never touching best kites again. the flying JELLYFISH.
hahaha.

gee so much negativity without even seeing or flying it.... a bit harsh- Love the DOS (delta C) but have to admit they're a bit steep when it comes to price- if best makes something similar but cheaper, why not!?

Let us know when the kite's here in mackay for a spin Joe- any idea on sizing yet?

if your after something cheaper but similar to the bandits try the new core GT kites.... really great price for a great package! (no affiliation)
