Foiling

This thing is fast. Very fast for its size. I bit loud and vibrates a bunch, but the pump is staying in the closet for good

If I could afford to have this kite in every size and only fly it I would. I am obsessed. It's so forgiving when you make mistakes and somehow never drops me out of the sky. I personally like the lighter bar pressure. I haven't had enough time on it nor enough experience to speak to all of it's qualities. It just flies beautifully.

Did my first few jumps on this kite. It's extremely stable and the bar pressure is great. Still really like it.

This kite is marketed as the "desert island kite" and holds true to it's name. Is it my favourite kite for doing specific things not necessarily but is awesome overall. This is an excellent kite to learn and progress with. I first learned to kite on this kite. I accidentally took out a 7m reach thinking it was an Orbit in 30mph winds and it flew so well. I was incredibly impressed with it's ability to launch me into the sky and honestly happy I took out the reach and not the orbit.

This is my go to leash. It feels good when riding, and handling, and is easy to connect to your harness. It's a solid length and overall a leash I would highly recommend using.

I love the Core Nexus 4. I use it mainly for wave and freestyle kiting. It has great drift and loops very well. It doesn't have as much power I've found as the new NXS, however, I'll still choose the Nexus for most applications. I highly recommend this kite.

I love this kite surfboard. I've only ever ridden it on the sound, but I think that is where the board shines. I'm getting into more freestyle surfboard tricks and this board allows me to progress and elevate my freestyle performance.

I love this harness. I've heard of people having issues with the binding system that tightens the harness, but I've never come across that issue. I think the harness looks great, and feels very comfortable. I don't really find myself needing to tighten the harness when I'm out on the water, but it is nice that the ratchet system makes it easy to do so if I needed to. Overall, I highly recommend this harness.

I haven't ridden too many kite surf boards, but this is by far my favorite one I've ridden. The board feels easy to ride and turns like butter in the waves and ocean chop. I've ridden it in the sound as well, and even though it holds more volume than a freestyle surfboard I had a blast riding around. Besides the performance the board looks great, and the traction pad has a good feel and makes it easy to move your feet around on the board. I highly recommend this board.

this wing with the new material pumps and pulls so well. it has little to no flap in the canopy. the bar on this it one of my favourite features, it has a great diameter were it doesn't tire your hands out as quickly

I absolutely love my Surf 930 front wing! It has really good low-end lift for the slightly lighter wind/small wave days, excellent glide and it carves turns just like a surf-focused front wing should! I am about 215 lbs and use the 930 as my go-to everyday foil for winging and prone foiling.

This is hands down one of the easiest to use and most reliable inflatable wings out there! The low-end power and stability makes it a really comfortable wing for beginners, and it also flags out super well so it works great for downwinding in the ocean for the more experienced riders. Also I absolutely love the colors for 2026!

Best all-around kite on the market by far! I can always trust that no matter what type of kiting I'm doing, I'll have a great time with my Reach. It jumps really well when boosting airs in the slick, has killer low-end for endless kite foiling fun, and fast turning plus excellent drift for ocean-side downwinders on a directional board. If you're a multi-disciplinary kiter, you absolutely can't go wrong with the North Reach!

For context, the kite I have spent the most time on in the last year is the previous version of this kite. I think the Core Pro series kites are awesome and if you are riding at a high level or aspiring to ride at a high level then they should be at the top of your list of kites to ride. That said, they are kind of purpose built big air machines that come with some drawbacks. The XR Pro 2 is incredibly boosty and provides a TON of hang time. It's meant to be an uncompromising big air powerhouse. However, I would describe the riding experience as violent. That kite rips you off the water so fast it feels like you're being kicked in the back by a mule. That's awesome if that's what you're going for but I personally prefer a more mellow power delivery and slightly less intense kite flying experience. That is why I have mostly been flying the Pace Pro v1. You get most of the jumping ability at the sacrifice of hang time, and the kite steers notably faster than the XR Pro. The Pace Pro 1 was meant to be the best looping kite on the market and I think it probably is. It has been massively helpful in helping be dial in kite loos, but for just doing straight airs I find I can get a bit higher on some other 5-strut performance jumping kites. The Pace Pro 2 feels like it combines the best of both of these worlds. You get a kite flying experience that is much more similar to the V1 Pace Pro, but you still get that added boost and hang time of the 5-strut XR Pro. That said because of the 5-strut design it does feel notably slower than the older Pace Pro, but the hang time is improved and the catch is still good. For me, I am still trying to get better at loops and the older version of the Pace inspires more confidence for that purpose than the new one. However, If you are already a confident looper, or just want to send it big with a little less intensity than the XR Pro, then you should definitely consider the Pace Pro 2.

What a nice little upgrade this part is. I recently when on a foil trip where I was taking my mast on an off the board multiple times a day. This part kept the nuts in position without fear of them dropping out of the track boxes accidentally and messing up a session. Simple, lightweight, very functional. Great upgrade.
