Kiteboarding

Armstrong is always the way due to the just the build quality, and how well everything goes together. The fact that it works so well is the cherry on top. I have been using MA 680 for downwinding when the swell/wind is decent. I will upside to the 880 or even 980 if the swell is smaller. The foil turns so well, and I have been pairing it with the dart 120 and 795 performance mast.

I am falling in love with the dart 120 for prone and downwinding. I'm 137lbs and find that the pumpability/turnability to be unmatched for me. I have been led to too large of wings most of my life for my weight, and this tail wing opened up my ability to shred downwind. 10/10

Great 3 strut design. I would probably pick the core pace if you want a good all around kite that can boost well. You're not going to go as high as you would on the XR, but this kite makes up for it with beautiful looops that have great power delivery. The direct steering is great for the surf, and the kite is plenty light for light weight riders/foiling.

I would go for the NXS if you want a more surf all around kite, and the Pace if you lean more towards big air

The only allula kite that really makes sense anymore. I'm really glad that we are moving away from stiff materials on a lot of our big air/looping kites, but this kite just works insanely well if you are just looking to boost to the moon. This is not your kitelooping kite, and I would head elsewhere if that is what you are looking for. I solely use this kite for blasting to the moon, and staying in the air as long as possible. The thinner diameter LE allows the kite to recover quickly to 12 oclock, so you can perform multiple heli loops leading to some of your longest jumps ever. I was able to record a 16 second 210m long jump this winter, so the sky is literally the limit.

This kite is awesome for advanced kiteboarders. I really enjoy it most when it is pretty powered up on normal 24m lines. You will find large jumps that are comparable to the XR, but you will need great kite flying skills to land softly with the smaller kites. The heli loops for landing are extremely fast, so learning the timing can take a couple of sessions. It is definitely not a just kite the kite at 12 with the bar sheeted in kite. It is fast and unforgiving, but you will be rewarded once you tame the beast. I would recommend this kite for someone that wants to get into looping, or progress their big air progression. There are easier kites to fly if you are just boosting.

It performs great on short lines as well (I use 11m).

I’ve used this for every board wax removal I’ve done all summer. Makes the job so enjoyable and easy. Highly recommend!

I use these all the time. They are super comfortable and the adjustable strap/cinch on the back make it perfect for your specific needs.

So so comfy! The material is great and the design is super cute. Washed it multiple times and is still super soft.

I got the matching bottoms and the set is adorable. It is super comfortable and supportive in the water! My favorite suit.

This swimsuit is my favorite of the summer! It fits so well and is super flattering. Love the colors.

I have been loving my Core NXS 10m for kite foiling. It does everything my Xlite 2 10m does but with performance like my Pace Pros just more gentle.

It is much easier on me than the Pace Pro but has that sportiness of the Pace Pro that I like. I got a 17' high jump kite foiling in 15mph of wind the other day on this kite. Was controlled and comfortable. This kite works for the lightest kite for sessions to powered up boost sessions. Once I get overpowered on the NXS I move to the Pace Pro 12m or smaller for twin tip session.

This is what I tried to make the review title but it was too many characters, so here is the real title:

Holy smokes this parawing is fast!! This parawing is very different than any other that I've ridden. It has more power per size than any other wing I've used, and its very noticeable. On my last session it was blowing around 19 or 20mph average. Normally I would be on a 4m-ish wing, but the 3.2 Lotus felt like plenty of power when on the beach so I gave it a go, and on the water it worked great. Once I was on foil this thing RIPS upwind. The speed and power of this wing is wild. The upwind angle is really good, not the best I've ever seen but definitely good. The upwind speed is impressive though, it just seems to keep accelerating. The bar is kind of a funky shape, but not bad. The harness loop included with this wing is junk though, if you ride hooked into a harness you'll still want to buy or use a different option for the harness loop. The wing stashes down nicely and compact, no complaints there. The lines are a little harsh in your hands but not the worst. The wing is a little tricky to fly, especially when doing your water start. Its very active in the air and you have to be on top of your bar angle, but as long as you've got that down you better get ready to go fast. If Ricky Bobby was a parawinger, this is what he would be on. "I wanna go fast!!"

I've been using the Medium sized loop on a few sessions now and can say this is my favorite option for a parawing harness line that I've tried so far, and I've tried about 5 different options. This one attaches to the bar quickly and easily, and importantly removes easily as well. Some other ones get so tight on the bar that its hard to remove then it leaves a big mark in the bar grip that never really goes away, this one doesn't. It can be a little tricky getting the hang of getting the dangling loop on to your harness hook without getting your finger pinched, but once you figure it out its fine. This is still better than a stiffer loop which is harder to get into your stash belt, and seems to get caught up the lines during re deploy.

Love these things, (Pigtail W/ Stopper Ball) I have one connected to each of my wings. Makes it easy to connect and disconnect wing leashes.
