TESTED: 11.5m
TYPE OF KITE: Delta Bow
SIZES: 7.5, 9.5, 11.5 & 13.5m
FROM THE MANUFACTURER The new Kahoona is the perfect choice for every rider looking for a super stable, easy-to-rig, easy- to-fly kite. A reduced aspect-ratio and swept leading edge make the Kahoona Best’s quickest relaunching kite: it is the perfect kite choice for beginners and intermediate riders looking to maximize their progress every session. A new Redline Safety System delivers instant safety-depower whenever you push the QR or drop the bar. With short bridles and only four flying lines there is nothing to wrap around the kite should you roll it while relaunching. The Redline Safety System allows you to forget about the kite and concentrate on your riding.
THE KITEBOARDER REPORT Upon setting up the Kahoona our first attraction to its design was its lower strut count (4) and lower aspect ratio shape. The inflation system of the kite requires traditional individual pumping of the struts and leading edge. The Kahoona is designed with a little bigger paneling throughout the canopy, unlike some of the more high performance kites Best has come out with. The leading and trailing edges are reinforced with extra material from each wingtip to the center of the kite.
