Hi, great video! I was wondering if you could please tell me any info on how the North Reach 2024 flies compared to the Duotone evo SLS? I am interested in which kite would be more stable in the sky, resistant to gusts, less prone to stalling, intuitive to control, less punishing / more user friendly, easiest to learn kite loops, better low end (easier to keep in the sky / less likely to fall out of the sky when the wind drops off a little, and any other factors I might not have considered? Many thanks in advance for any advice you can give me
Thanks for the review. Nice one as usual!!! Will do a review to the 2024 North Orbit? Or it is too similar to the 2023 version? Same question regarding the Code 0. Thanks in advance! Best
Working on those reviews now. Both are really nicely upgraded with materials that has the same jump we saw with the Reach. Short story is better control and wind range.
So with these new tweaks to the 2024 Reach, how would you compare it to the Nexus 3 as you did in June 2022 with the 2023 Reach? Is the new Reach a bit more like the Nexus now? "Better"?
Nice with a triple review. Would love to see a triple on the Reedin Supermodel HFT also. Or a Reach vs Supermodel HFT review. I like to ride little bit of everything but honestly I ride more twintip. Going to buy some new kite soon and it stands between reach or the Supermodel HFT. What’s your thoughts on those two? Pros and cons? Best regards! 🤙🤙
They are really different kites. Short story is Reach is much less aggressive and forgiving. Reedin is way higher performance and punchier power delivery. Redding you will be able to jump higher and has a more abrupt on off power. Reach is smooth and easy power delivery. Both are great kites just very different. Hope this helps and you can call the shop for a more in depth review.
I'm 170 lbs and the boards and gear ridden were the Armstrong WKT137, MA1000, Surf205, Performance 865. Twin Tip was Carved Imperator 7 137cm. Kite surfboard was a FCD Shrike 5'8 in Appletree construction.
There are some for sure, but it also is a reflection of the products we choose to carry and the industry improving. At every show, our team is testing gear out before it even comes to the shop. And, vendors have greatly increased designs and quality. That makes it so if a product is complete junk, we aren't going to be selling it or reviewing it anyway.
