Flexi handles are fine and performance isn't really effected from brand to brand (though comfort may be).

Only time I can think performance may be compromised is if you had a largish kite that required a lot of brake to kill it and you were flying on short handles - but that won't happen with Flexi handles or a 4m with any standard handles.

Congrats on the kite! It's good to see someone else on the board with a Crossfire. You'll be fine with the Flexi handles. I use my Ozone as I don't really care for the HQ handles that come with the setup. You'll have to let me know what you think of the kite. Will be interesting to hear from another persons perspective. Now go fly ..haha

first flight


been out today flying for an hour or to and was realy impressed by the amount of pull and lift even though there was no real wind just an soft breeze... completly satisfied with it so far had a few bow ties but i think thats due to the lack of wind hittin the sail... thank you both for gettin back to me about the handles i dont rate the hq's for comfort even though there chrome lol should be goin out again later just hope the wind picks up a lil bit more for sum more jumps.. (getting 3-4 ft jumps earler) keep u informed. ad
