Anyone have input on how good the 2009 Airush Flow FT is as a kite????? Looking at one brand new complete, for a decent price. I believe it will come with a 2010 bar. Will it have acceptable relaunch and depower compared to the North Evo that I have been looking at?????? The price for a brand new kite looks real attractive compared to the brand new EVO, that if it will hold the same quality and good enough traits for a beginner, then I'm jumping on it like yesterday.

I have not ridden the Airush Flow, but I have used a few other airush kites, was very pleased with the flight characteristics and relaunch. It's a brand I would have no problem recommending based on my experiences.

I hope someone can give you a more specific bit of info....

Yeah I'm hoping someone has had one or know something about them. It's actually a blow out of stock from kiteboard.com I tried calling them, but they were already closed for the day. Here's the link to the product page....

For a brand spanking new kite, I like the price, and they look like a beginner driven kite. I'm concerned with the relaunch, and durability. Finally have a tax return that I've been waiting for, but it turned out a tad less than originally expected. As such I'm either gonna wait till I can get what I want or find something that is on a fairly equal playing field.

Well I found a couple reviews searching forums and the rider reviews sold me on it. I ordered the 12m complete, along with that I tossed in a Protec Ace Wake helmet, GoPro Kite Cam Rig, rashguard, and a couple t-shirts. It may not be the kite I wanted, but I'm tired of waiting, my season won't be more than a couple more months if I'm lucky to get that long. I'll quit asking which kite to get for a while now I promise. I'll give a review the best I can once I've had a chance to play with it.

If anyone else is looking for a kite they have 1-8.5m and 1 -14m rtf left. Sounds like it's gonna be a great learning tool from my readings. Not 100% but I think its coming with a 2010 smart bar. I know I'll be kicking myself for not including a 8.5m at those prices.
