Expert Review
Current #1 on the WOO leaderboard despite being non-Aluula. Incredibly fast, easy to loop, and the best value big air kite on the market. The speed is a double-edged sword though - you can overfly loops until you calibrate to it.
Pros
- +Current WOO #1 - proven top-end performance
- +Extremely fast looping with tight, reliable loops
- +Best value big air kite available (non-Aluula price)
- +Forgiving with a large sweetspot for boosting
- +Excellent range - can cruise or go mental at your choice
- +Great power dump when sheeting out
Cons
- −Lacks the constant forward drive of Aluula/Brainchild kites
- −Easy to overfly loops due to sheer speed until calibrated
- −Second heliloop can be weak if timing is off
- −Requires solid riding technique for optimal takeoff positioning
Best for
Riders who want proven big air performance without Aluula pricing, and value versatility
Not for
Riders wanting everything handed to them on a plate, or those who need maximum forward drive on takeoff
Synthesized from: Portrait Kite

and welcome to a plus-size kite mega review, where this time around I will be sharing my thoughts on a larger variety of kites that I've been lucky enough to have in my possession all at once. In this airplane seat belt extension sized review, we are doing an all Dacron Focus covering the latest releases from some of the top brands on the market wi
Bottom line
in summary, I just really, really like this kite, and it is easily in my top two or three Dacron kites on the market right now, possibly even my favorite. It is just such a nice balance of everything you want, even if it is not necessarily the top of the field in any one particular category. If you are a progressing rider only looking to put up big scores, it might not be the absolute best booster out there, but it certainly is good enough for most riders. And the same goes if you are a progressing looper wanting to throw your first loops or advance in that area. Then again, it's perhaps not t
