Houston AirHead - 1-8-2012 at 09:18 PM

i really like the new north and ozone lei kites

Snake - 1-8-2012 at 10:13 PM

Probably GIN.

csa_deadon - 1-8-2012 at 10:44 PM

I'm liking the color scheme of the Ozone UL-Frenzy. Very nice. :thumbup:

lives2fly - 2-8-2012 at 03:17 AM

Naish Bolt - without doubt the coolest looking kite i own.

StebbimacDaddy - 2-8-2012 at 05:19 AM

Whatever kite I happen to be flying at the time.

Bladerunner - 2-8-2012 at 06:42 AM

I seem to like solid black kites with a touch of red. They draw my attention at least? Like the Libre .
I saw an LEI in Florida that looked similar. Pretty sure it was a Cabrihna?

Then there will always be the all white Silver Arrows but that is an old colour scheme.

joedy - 2-8-2012 at 06:42 AM

I like the HQ Matrixx schemes.

Simple, colorful and with graceful lines.

Still love the slingshot ranger 12 the most. The red/white/black, with half of the slingshot logo....looks so good.

abkayak - 2-8-2012 at 09:21 AM

anything rasta.........mon.

BeamerBob - 2-8-2012 at 10:02 AM

I remember many talking at nabx about how striking the HQ Matrix is in the sky.

I have to agree with Lives2fly the Naish sigma series including the Bolt and the cult have my vote for style and looks. Or I may just feel that way because I just bought a 7.5m Naish Cult yesterday

and that it is the green ,yellow, black color combo

For sheer "yeah, we're secure enough to even put zaftig bunnies on our kites" whimsy factor, the Wainman Rabbit series has a lot going for it.

Of the Ozones, I like the Pure and Yakuza GT which have retained the swoopy lines instead of opting for the more angular lines. The color scheme (Dark Grey, Red, Orange) shared by the Pure, Flow and earlier Frenzy was wonderful.

Matrixx? Meh... like the panel layout, but still too much white in 2012 for my tastes. Prefer the 2013 colors

Sam,

Are you having a laugh?

These colors are cool.

But are they for real? These are the 2013 Matrixx colors?

kitedelight - 2-8-2012 at 11:32 AM

FS unity
liquid force envy 2012
and 2012 epic kites are really cool
as you can tell, I am definitely not in the 'less is more category' for color schemes.

Yes, I am having a laugh. :lol:

But the 7 minute response time must mean it struck a chord. Hopefully HQ takes note.

Admit a fondness for darker stealth fighter colors with "marker light" accents in a constrasting color.

The "doctored" Matrixx colors were offered up by Black Fox on a German kite forum.

ATB,
Sam

BeamerBob - 2-8-2012 at 11:44 AM

White should only be an accent color on kites, if there at all. I must say my Vapors with the Orange/Blue/White combo are eye catching as well.

Well, thanks fer 'nuthin. My beer is now all watery from my tears.

I hope that HQ considers these colors since they're striking.

ikemiester - 2-8-2012 at 06:49 PM

Ozone's rasta style is always good. I also agree with a mainly black kite w/ green/red/light blue/yellow highlights.

Snake .... yes ... I like the way Gin make theirs kites ..... thats way I use them .... my Yetis in full black with small color accent look awesome in the sky ..... and new Sherpa with bright colors look attractive too ....
My best looking kite that I own is green Zulu III ...

I do need to agree that WH rabbit series is very nice .... Naish look good too ..... and I love that PKD Century Soulfly II (Team Rider Colors)..... awesome ......
FS unity did look very cool when Arron use it on one buggy session..
I think in general ... High aspect kites look way better then low aspect ...
Black as a major color make most kites look good
Blade VIP is another black beauty
Wolkenstuermer Electra
I am sure there is more

shaggs2riches - 2-8-2012 at 10:41 PM

My pick for sure has got to be the speed 3 purple followed by the Tiger Looking Unity

Lets not forget the wicked cool PL Phantom one

Cool. is that a 2009? I have the cult with one green and one yellow wing tip and the green and black Bolt.

The sigma shape looks great from the rider perspective doesn't it?

And the performance... anyone who dismisses sigma kites as a gimmick has never flown one!

dirtslide - 3-8-2012 at 03:30 PM

"Amen" and yes it is a 09 2fly.

AD72 - 3-8-2012 at 04:32 PM

Flysurfer SA 19M has to be one of the nicest looking kites. The Unity on the other hand looks like a bad Halloween decoration.

g00fba11 - 3-8-2012 at 05:30 PM

The Black and Green P2, those wicked Black Yeti's with accent colors, anything with black as the primary and red or another color as the accent......

I would def spring for a Matrixx if those colors where the ones available for purchase......even more so if the accent color was Ferrari Red......

Beaudryjoel - 3-8-2012 at 05:37 PM

after being in the hospital for a bursitis and being told to stay of my leg for the past month, I finally got the ok today.
Took out my PL Reactor and i have to say it was a pretty sexy sight to see

tridude - 3-8-2012 at 07:15 PM

FSer Pulse (10m Orange) :lol:

:duh::duh:

soliver - 3-8-2012 at 07:32 PM

how about zebra kites?

I don't know if I would say they are the best looking kite, but there is something kind of cool about the asymmetrical color design.

Kober - 3-8-2012 at 07:56 PM

oooo....... Yessssss..... Zebra .... I forgot about that one ....

Rock - 5-8-2012 at 02:36 AM

Have to say the 2013 Matrixx colors Rock

The Flysurfer Viron is pretty cool also!

Kamikuza - 5-8-2012 at 03:45 AM

I always liked the Synergys... simple scheme, but nice bright colours and the 'ghost' effect through the white bottom was neat. Charger looks like a dirty sanchez on the LE :o

Speed3's - especially the purple ones :o

WELDNGOD - 5-8-2012 at 07:40 AM

PKD Century II soulfly just as Sam posted,but any color scheme. The "soulfly" rocks the sky!

Jaymz - 5-8-2012 at 05:51 PM

This kites good lookin like Kober :spin:

Pablo - 5-8-2012 at 08:02 PM

Combat in solid black, always was a sexy kite.

sunset-Jim - 6-8-2012 at 06:44 AM

Still is.. :smilegrin:

There's something to be said about simplicity and this kite looks great screaming thru the sky.

Oldbird - 6-8-2012 at 08:48 PM

I'll go with the quality of the Gin cell wings for my dreams , they look like something that really fly's.:wee:

Pablo - 7-8-2012 at 04:27 PM

There was a day I remember quite well with a certain 16m JoJo down at sunset beach as well. Well. one 16m and a bunch of 10 m kites :dunno:

Rock - 10-8-2012 at 01:16 AM

Have to say the 2013 Matrixx

colors Rock

The Flysurfer Viron is pretty cool also!

bigE123 - 4-9-2012 at 02:52 AM

Sorry couldn't resist :-) Not off the shelf ... one of a kind... at the moment :-)

bobalooie57 - 4-9-2012 at 05:49 AM

Nice shot Bob.. Is that you...? I am gonna use it for wallpaper.

bobalooie57 - 4-9-2012 at 06:29 AM

Yeah, last Thursday evening at Southwick. Just enough wind for my 7.6M(got this one used from Airin, made by kitemaker4)More wind had been predicted, so I had taken my 4.8M as my biggest, but it wasn't getting me upwind (S), as the wind was from the SW, so I rode the buggy downwind (N) to the state beach(closed for swimming-no lifeguards) where my truck was parked(about 1/2 mile walk), and swapped out for the 7.6M. The trick was I had to go past the narrow spot I call the point, where the big aspen tree tries to eat my kite. I made it down and back though, and Rick was able to get that great shot. Thanks again Rick, and since I already lifted it from the gallery, you don't have to e-mail it to me. Marc, it's the newest pic in the gallery under kite buggying, and is a nice hi-res pic there, I shrunk it down for my avatar, and that slightly bigger one.

Funny , I know of at least one person who wanted a Flux but couldn't stand the graphics so passed on it.
Can't please evrybody all the time !
While we are looking at Pansh.
I still think the Black Blaze is one of the best Graphics available.

That is one cool looking NPW BigE!

area429 - 5-10-2012 at 08:22 AM

I must admit that the matrixx was a great looking design especially the black version for 2013 (please god!).

Maybe this is off topic but I can't stand the look of the Neo3. I think it looks like an ugly pirate's bird from a cartoon. (Sorry HQ, somebody had to go there; may as well be one of your loyal customers.)

joedy - 10-11-2012 at 07:53 AM

I dunno, Area429. I kind of like the marine/aquatic colors of the Neo III.

The new Rasta colors of the Matrixx 15m looks much better, though, in comparison.

-joedy

Kober - 10-11-2012 at 02:43 PM

I agree on resta Matrixx .... looks very cool ...
