Hi,
I'm a beginner and I'm looking to buy a new kite, I know that there are few companies out there such as Naish, Wipika, Cabrina etc.
Can anyone tell me what's the difference between these manufacturers, which one makes better gear for stronger winds. Which one makes better
boards?
I'm surfing in a place that has 20-25 knots most of the days.
Thank you!

Wipika was the original designer of this style of power kite who later licensed the design to other companies (such as Naish) who then made
improvements. Cabrinha bought the license 2 years ago and further advanced the design. Pete Cabrinha is a long time windsurf champ who teamed up with
Neil Pryde company to produce his kitesurf boards and kites. He is a great sportsman with vision, and I suggest his gear above all others.
