Awesome kite, you will not be sorry getting it! Tim Hi Martin

My weight is 78 Kilos and I prefer spots such as Capetown. What do you think? BTW I have two more Kites: Bandit 1 in 11m and Bandit 1 in 15m. Cheers, Martin Hi Tim,

It turns really quickly too and the kiteloops feel very stable throughout the whole loop. Unhooked the NHP has all the drawbacks of all other bow / hybrid kites where your normal riding will see you fairly powered up, and you will need to depower before unhooking to make sure you don’t flare the wingtips. I tried this and it worked just fine, I only needed to depower around a quarter of the depower strap to counter this. When I was unhooked the kite still felt very stable and didn’t fly further back in the window like I mentioned on my F-One Bandit 3 review.
