GK-Trix "most versatile surf kite" by SBC mag

I think the Volare might have had the best "de" power though. :)

Jeepers, J-Gar, that video is a classic. Where did you dig that up?

And just to clear up the debate about the best wave kite -- it's pretty obvious that when it's 6m conditions the best kite is the Eclipse Nano, when it's 8m conditions the best kite is the North Rebel, and when it's 10m conditions the best kite is the F-One Bandit III.

And I'm completely unbiased because I'm not sponsored by any of them (at least not anymore).

Yes, but the real disclaimer for any of these statements is "In my personal opinion." :mrgreen:

FWIW, I converted 3 SS-Rally riders in Delray, FL a couple of weeks ago after they tried the Trix....in waves.

:text-baaa: So they sold their Rally's and bought Trix on the spot? Whipped out their credit card on the beach?

Damn, I stand corrected on the Volare. Check out this beauty on Ebay. What a classic and it appreciated in value:

No conflict of interest here, but I'll admit I AM biased. I am biased in the sense that I am NOT interested by GK , and will never try one.

Grandpa used to say, "Dont believe anything you read and only half of what you see, and you'll be about right".


Thank Goodness- BayArea riders are blessed to have available so many DEMO's and Team Riders around that everyone can actually try befor they buy!
If your interested in purchasing new gear, I suggest using these LOCAL oppertunities to your best advantage. Speak to local riders, gain insite about the qualities of each kite, then ASK for a test ride, (THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE, to help YOU get the right gear for YOU!)

Enjoy- L.M.G.

JUDGE SMAILS: Ty, what did you shoot today?
TY: Oh, Judge, I don’t keep score.
JUDGE SMAILS: Then how do you measure yourself with other golfers?
Ty: By height.

There are a lot of options in the bay in terms of brands...there are also a ton of opinions...... some related to the actual kite....more related to the people selling them.

Having a good time kiting is more important for me than seeing a spot dominated by the Wainmans I sell and the politics in this funny business. going around.

I am loyal to the brand and I believe in the kites, but my ADD also makes me want to try everything...:)
