[@jorgenschippers7518]

Kom alsjeblieft terug! Jullie video’s zijn echt top en van hoogwaardige kwaliteit 👌🏼

[@davidandhometech]

Super fun and informative. Being Dutch and having lived in the US for >20 years, it is a sheer delight to watch you guys do your thing with a touch of humor here and there. "Wind tasting, that's how we do it in The Netherlands"... excellent!

[@Kitefinder]

Thanks David

[@HRe956]

Happy to see you again - my alltime favorite testing and reviewing team!! :- ))))

[@ClownLikeMe]

Nice Video. Thank you. I would be interested in an old vs new Kite Video. For example: How a 6 year old burned out kite flies against the same kite in new condition.

[@archiekras6668]

YES!

[@Kitefinder]

Good one! We try to find a oldy

[@mbkiteboarding]

I have a North Toro2 you can test 😊

[@DestroyAllWaves]

I'm saving my money for the Freeride/Surf/Lightwind/Freestyle/BigWave/Foil/PartyTime One Pump Kite that is rumored for 2027

[@Kitefinder]

:)

[@tunakizal]

That kite will be able to change sizes while flying

[@alsanamir497]

@@tunakizal there was a tandem paraglider in the market years back with a zip(middle section) ,so size of the glider (wingspan)could be adjusted depend of passenger weight.

@@alsanamir497 wow thats soo cool man, perfect for tandem

[@alsanamir497]

Love to see a comparison between Evo SLS and New North Reach 2021 in proper wind 😎🏖️👍 currently in the market to buy new 11m Freeride Wave kite.

[@justinsummons5404]

Best kite reviews in the world! Keep them coming!

I loved your kite reviews. What has happened with you guys? :)

[@karolkozowski6290]

The best and most funny testing team 🐸

[@Skyabovetheground]

I really love my new sls Evo 12M

[@benito3386]

Can you guys do a comparison between the evo sls and the dice sls?

[@claudiucraciun8065]

Hi there... Can you please make a comparison test of new 15m juice dlab vs 2021 juice 17m...i am interested if the 15m has better power in, let's say 10knots wind, vs the 17m normal juice... I am 96kg and I am not sure the dlab will have the power to pull me... Thanks

[@cjcpixels]

Didn't help me much. But I'm glad now I know how to taste the wind...

[@filippoi.4138]

come on guys!!! always best and funniest review out there, i will start to taste air with my friends too :D i would be interested in a 2021 big air comparition. the DEFINITVIE ONE REBEL vs CORE XR vs EDGE vs ELEVEIGHT XS vs ORBIT vs (whatever you like)

[@Kitefinder]

Why not stack them all, get those records from leading board 😁👍

[@Kitefinder]

Hi Richy and Liz, the bold guy became a CEO and Father. Busy guy now but we hope to make a few clips the near future.

[@richyandliz4802]

Thanks for letting us know 😊

Wind tasting was absolutely genius

[@Ryy22]

Never lose the humor in the vids

[@photokitesurf]

Looks great this kite !

[@Island606]

Many thanks for this review!

[@filippoi.4138]

Where are your new videos ☹️

[@yosilevi565]

You are the best guys! I love your reviews and wander if you will have a on about the Bandit?

[@Kiteboy98]

hello can we please get some new videos ??

[@yountune9799]

wha? that's it? You feel the wind more with SLS? That's the conclusion?

[@coolhari2000]

Did you guys try it in decent wind conditions ????

[@Kitefinder]

Sorry, not really tested in good twin tip conditions

[@blubb9004]

How does "decent" taste exactly?

[@kimsrensen6884]

Great review!!😀 Was the bar pressure the same on them?

[@peteribs5643]

kiteFinder is dead ????? can't wait to watch new video ;-)

[@Kitefinder]

Hi Pete, not dead just busyness of life. Yes, yes work before play, not good sign :)

[@martisutton2499]

You have great taste!!!!!

[@Popas1]

Did you feel more comfortable in light wind conditions with the SLS ? I mean, did you have the freight that the kite will fall from the sky and never relaunch?

[@Kitefinder]

Hi Nicolas, it was a bit offshore. Thats why we didn't test the relaunch. But the old fashion swim to your kite worked always fine

[@2007dalin]

did you guys get covid or something? miss the videos

[@Kitefinder]

Hi, yes we're a bit out of production. Andrej got married and became Director of a big company. Less time to play around 😭

[@kiteinsidelaurentness2574]

wind testing !!!!! so funnny

[@Nijos143]

Not too shure whether nowerdays improvements are just marketing or like trade offs for example with weight and stability or if they are really worth it. I think without the direct comparison you'd be never able to tell any difference from one year to another.

[@mikemiller774]

There goes another year

[@RafCenterMyself]

Yeah, finally another fun review 😄 what about the fancy new clickbar version. Are the shiny new lines worth it? 😆 I need a new bar and was wondering, if not just to go with the old model instead.

[@Kitefinder]

They tuned the new click bar, best to test because its a other feel, more rigid and firm depower

[@Kitefinder]

Line durability? Stay Tuned :)

[@pieter-dirckswart6506]

Heerlijke filmpjes dit.

[@pieter-dirckswart6506]

Wanneer nieuwe North review?

[@Kitefinder]

Wat had je in gedachte?

[@hifly1929]

6:38 wind tasting explanation 👌

[@mikemiller774]

Come on guys, 5 moths since last video. Well, at least regular size jokes are in and...wind tasting. Newer model costs 200 euros more. Talking about light materials, according to Duotone data, 10m EVO SLS weights 2,78 kg and that is very similar to single strut kites in same size

[@Kitefinder]

Great addition. Yes we were a bit off grid. But we make it up to you \"/

[@mikemiller774]

And just to add here, that Ocean Rodeo Aluula Flite in Size 14,5m is only 2.5 kg! Talking about light weight baby!

[@Kitefinder]

@@mikemiller774 Weight, Check! Material, Check. Form & Function, let's Test!

[@neworange7796]

I ride Ozone kites more than decade already and what I see now made by Doutone and others was long time ago implemented in Ozone kites. Less weight, simplicity and thin bridle lines. Less panels, clear lines, no pulleys, thin struts etc. all this nuances already implemented in Ozone kites years and years ago.

[@Kitefinder]

Do you mean that Duotone trows with old oranges? 😁. Yes, true Ozone is one of the innovating brands

[@neworange7796]

I mean all unnecessary "reinforcement" stripes, hard-wearing patches etc. was declared years ago by same team in North as absolutely nesesary improvements from generation to generation of kites. Remember games with trailing edge materials and reinforcement shapes? But now same people but under Duotone label trying to to convince customers that now all their previous "reinforcement" based under hard research it is not need.Wow! When did you tell the truth? Before or now? Thinner bridle lines - obviously improvement just began only in 2021, but I have this in all my Ozone already. I will not be surprise if after couple of years all kite brands, who encouraged by New Super-Puper Teijin 4x4 will jump back from 4x4 to Teijin 3x3 or even to 2x2 due to kite weight/strangth/cost efficiency and all this "arms race" is all about marketing wars. No more. But all "Christmas decoration", trowse like an old oranges, takes working and technological operation in manufacturing process and finally must reduce kite price. Slingshot announced new RPX with significantly reduced panels numbers although all previous years they declared that all SS kites are perfectly optimized. So.... Its all about marketing.

[@srenbisgaardandersson4966]

doesn't most companies use 2x or 3x allready?

[@Kitefinder]

@@neworange7796 Thats why we opened this channel. Whats practical and what's Christmas decoration. Price is a different thing. I heard that transport costs went through the roof.

[@stuarttodd3803]

Do you know the weight difference between the two?

[@svenpronk]

Check the Duotone website, all the info is there

[@Kitefinder]

We tried but we had a leaking battery 😒. SLS is a bit lighter and stiffer. If you like that sports car feel the SLS could be your thing.

[@jimmyjames1411]

I did the wind taste test when talking to my boss. I could smell the bull crap coming from his mouth.
