[@felixparache]

Sweet! I like the direction the account is taking! Good to have Ruben onboard!

[@Kitemana]

Thank you... LFG. - Ruben

[@archnoobpilot4443]

Excellent review and video!

[@bondvillansarebest]

Great interview and review!

[@AtRandomly]

7:23 - priceless 😅🤣

[@Lquifyzz]

Hi, could you make a video on thr positioning/ stance for straps on twintip boards

[@awesomekitesession9734]

Greate review guys

[@surfbum8166]

I would LOVE to see this comparison for the Neo. I can’t find any comparison with 2023 versus 2024 anywhere…

[@Kitemana]

I don't ride waves (yet).... but I can see who can review it for me. - Ruben

[@surfbum8166]

@@Kitemana I would be stoked to see that. Duotone says the new Neo is faster turning with more square wing tips and has a shorter depower stroke. It would be great to see if this is more marketing or actually the case.

[@soulkiteaustralia1773]

Nice format

[@moritzm2143]

Does a kite get more responsive because it’s stiffer, or slower because it doesn’t want to flex as much, when you pump it up more?

[@Kitemana]

Yeah good point, when it's softer it flexes better so it turns 'softer/better'? But if it's really windy it might lose a bit of profile so better to pump it harder. Find the balance. :-) - Ruben

[@gibsonandpickett]

7psi😂😂. It won't perform as well as a harder kite

[@moritzm2143]

@@Kitemana Thanks, Ruben!

[@GabriGlider]

What about 2024 sls for foiling?

[@VK-pl1nd]

sorry, guys, but i like orbit so much more than evo :) but i tested 7, 8, 9 m2, not 10 :) for jumps and looping. didn't try the dlab though

[@Kitemana]

The Orbit has a bit of a different feel. Personal preference and what you're used to at the end of the day right. I tried the Evo Dlab 13m and had such a blast on it... super easy and high performing kite. Poahhh.

[@gernotschlager3244]

Do you use 22m or 24m lines ?

[@przemysawmarciniec5180]

I would love to see comparison in terms of unhooked performance

[@gregor3007]

Whats about vantage Kites?

[@Kitemana]

Yeah, what about them? - Ruben

[@kite.odyssey.kiteschool]

​@@KitemanaI've had orbit, rebel sls, vulture gen3 and vulture gen4 is litteraly the best kite I've ever had

[@Bartwassenaar]

Nice one!

[@coolhari2000]

It's impossible that kites better and faster every year.

[@emgigievo1889]

Designer left, economy blows and brands going back to 2-3 years hold on updating gear like they used to …

[@riccardofreda612]

Hi guys, I'm really interested in the evo sls, i do some loops, old school trick, board off etc. I weigh 80 kg and I usually kite 15 to 35 knt. Do you think I can take the size 12/10/8 or is 12/9/7 better?

[@meesslingerland2112]

Firee🔥🔥

[@joshadaniel]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Aegis-tb9oi]

I prefer the maneuverability. Already have the rebel for big air free ride. I wish they would just leave it alone

[@Kitemana]

2023 model is still there and available if you like. With time, comes change. :-)

[@Paraboemba]

So, long story short: for most people, none of these differences matter and brands just make new kites each year to sell more stuff.

[@michaelj.8262]

I guess they rather had to do some changes to the old model because the 2024 model was not designed by Ralf anymore. Might be worth mentioning that the designer had changed…

[@Kitemana]

Duotone design team taking over indeed... Ralf in his own factory.

[@dirkdeluxe]

Some changes to make the Marketing happy. unimportant.

[@Kitemana]

Why change a winning design too much? - Ruben

[@juliusznowakowicz9382]

I'm pretty sure they pumped those kites to 10psi 😂 like you should

[@Kitemana]

I pumped to 8/9 PSI... I like it hard. But interesting the recommended PSI is lower, right? - Ruben

[@gibsonandpickett]

It's for warranty purposes

[@gibsonandpickett]

I doubt that the team riders in 30 to 40 knots pump them to 7psi

[@emgigievo1889]

Your gear is expensive brother. If won’t make adaptations you will review the same evo bridals moved an inch back to 23 setup in 25. Good luck

[@Kitemana]

You pay the price for the kite you choose. We have something for every budget, don't worry. - Ruben

[@yountune9799]

SLS, stronger? Bahahahahahahaha! I'm going to put Ferrari sticker on my Chevy and pretend like it's faster.

[@Kitemana]

Super powers!

I am independent, and it was great to hear Lasse's knowledge and experience about the product. Together we found out more than I would've alone... what else would you like to hear/see? - Ruben

[@VK-pl1nd]

they sell everything :) but it is so nice to see such comparisons 👍👍👍
