I'm curious to know if anyone is riding a mountainboard with an 8m HQ Neo2 and how is that working for you? Does anyone use this kite to crossover to water for kiteboarding?

One more...can this kite be flown on a medium PL Navigator bar?

I recently had some great lessons on the water with a North Evo 9m, steady wind and good instruction made it really successful, but in my normally gusty conditions back at home I've struggled on the land with my Neo. Maybe it's just a kite that is more at home on the water.

The neo its a great kite ! I flew before , has a lot of power .
You cant attach the navigator to this kite

I have the Neo 1 8m and it flies great. It water relaunches well. It is predictable and quick. Depowers well but I imagine it could be better especially on the new ones. Neo 2 has a better safety. I have used it to buggy, KGB, snowkite, and to kitesurf.

The problems you are having might be the wind range. When I have to pull out the 8m the wind is blowing pretty well, 20+. Much less than that on land and grass and I am not moving well. The problem is the gusts differential is using getting big. Sometimes it is 20 to 35 and I am getting yanked. After the gust the kite will luff sometimes. Up that fast I have to be on water.

You could try it in the same wind you tried the EVO in. Steady wind makes everything better.

I have a 14M Neo 2 and love it... no back stalls, relaunches like a foil, pulls like a truck..I'm flying with the HQ stock 5-line bar. Navigator bar would work...but it really wants it's own 5th line safety. I also love the HQ bar for the trailing edge park/relaunch strap.

@stetson Word! Smooth wind makes me a better pilot. It's great that your Neo is seeing so much action. I'm going to keep working with this kite on land and put in some time on water with it the next chance I have.

@crazyh really like the HQ bar too, I put the Navi up for sale.
Thanks
