wakestyle foil kite??
Hi there! I'm new to this sight and to foil kites. I have been flying lei's in water and snow for the last 5 years. I'm ready to get in the
backcountry via splitboard. My questions is....what would you consider to be the best foil for wakestyle powered tricks? as well as uphill
performance? Any info would be grately appreciated, Thanks.

There is an awesome deal on a couple of Manta's here on the forum. As the kite to take the majority of the top placed positions in nearly every
snowkite competition, the Ozone brand is a hard one to beat for snowkiting. Not to mention that Chasta uses the Ozone Manta to be the #1 ranked
snowkiter in the last 7 years straight!!! It is very difficult to argue with Ozone's track record as being the best.

Welcome,
I agree. The Mantas in the for sale section here may be the answer?
Fysurfer will cover land and water. I think the Pulse II would serve up wake style ?
Are you Pelzy from Kiteboardbc ? Going to explore Pemberton?
If you are and you like your C kites I think you want to try my Peter Lynn Chargers ? You are welcome to try my 15m I think it may be an answer? HUGE
range and gust munching !
Arcs aren't what they used to be ! You really must try the Charger for the C kite feel + auto zenith.

i just sent you a u2u reply from yours. be prepared its lengthy. this past saturday was a wash, I was WET, and only got in a quick session and it was
NOT fun. On and Off wind with a snowboard (clip in clip out) sux.
ill remember to bring my kiteboard next time now. maybe its time again to hit Merrit.
we have natural disasters around the world, why cant we just have Mr.Deep Freeze / Wind God for a bit longer.
