Hey Guys,

I'm looking for a new 7m kite for the autumn/winter season ... Since I'm looking for a kite for high jums, loops and a good high end, I found the Best taboo.
Could anyone give me a feedback about the 7m Taboo?

Because my bigger Kites are C4's, I'm not sure, if I'll be happy with the taboo as a 7m?!

Would be happy if you Guys could give me few suggestions !

hang loose, Marlo

Ps: Sorry for writing in english, I just moved to the netherlands 1 month ago, so I'm still struggling a bit with dutch ;)

Hello Marlo,

Are you talking about the 2011 or 2012 Taboo?

I have the 2011 (fot sale hehehe) and tested the 2012 some weeks ago (buying it a.s.a.p.)

If you are looking for a high-end kite, witch kicks you up high, loops nice but with a manual (the downloop after a loop has to be made a bit larger to make the kite catch you for a soft landing) this is a kite you will enjoy a LOT!

I've done the same things with it and have to say that it didn't let me down the last couple of months!

Features 2011 / 2012

2011:

Fast as hell
a little bit unstable in gusts
kicks you up nice and high, tho it makes a downloop to land soft easy

2012:

still fast, but a little less agressive then 2011
more stability than 2011 better for unhooking
has more power in its downloops (to catch you after a loop or jump)

either you choose the 2011 or 2012, i don't think you'll get disappointed, the kites are easy going and super in thier high-end.
I have flown the 7m in gusts abve 45 knots (with 10 cm's of depower) and it was still super!

Good luck with your search and if u live near Friesland u can test my 7m when its windy enough! (WITCH IS FOR SALE!! xD)

Cheers,

Joost

Check mijn profile foto en begrijp dat ik daarvoor niet naar Zeeland hoef te komen.
(en waarom er een achter mijn opmerking stond)

Kom maar naar Wijk aan zee om te zien dat er nog veel verder en veel hoger mee gesprongen kan worden, als jij tot nu toe al dacht.
