Kahoona 2011 V3 11.5m Review

[HonoluluAngel]

I tried this kite last Sunday which was not as windy as I like, 16-18 mph at Kailua Beach. I don't normally ride well in light winds, but I was able to go upwind easily using a board-6.0 surfboard (which I am not proficient at jibing yet). Anyhow I dropped the kite once and it relaunched very easily. I didn't think the kite turned slow, but it wasn't exactly zippy, but it had normal pressure and was responsive. Bar was Best 50 cm red line bar and line set w 20m lines. It had good low end, seemed to pull as much or better than the Waroo 12m (2008 was the last one I owned).
