Wanneer een nieuwe kite uitgebracht wordt - komen plots de min punten / hiaten / gebreken van de voorganger naar boven
http://www.australiankiteboarding.com.au/index.php/AKS-Blog/Entry/differences-between-ozone-catalyst-and-reo.html
The Catalyst can stall when deep in the wind window if the wind drops ie going down the line on a SB. This can be countered with quick reactions but is something I don't like having to deal with when wave riding if I have a better option. The pivotal turns produce no power when cranked around hard, with a sudden burst of power as the kite accellerates in it's new direction. The Catalyst can also luff in gusty winds if left above your head with bar out. Again, this can be countered by leaving the kite lower in the window with a little pressure on the bar (something we have all learned to do over the years by default).
The REO sits ever so slightly further back in the wind window but has much greater stability in both luff and stall characteristics.
Waarom kunnen we die min punten niet vroeger kennen ?
Ik koop het liefst overjaarse kites - dan weet je iets meer
