Brooza or Buster


Hi all. Was just wondering if there was any major differences between the 2. I will be using it for landboarding and was looking at a 4m.

Any advice/comments would be appreciated.
Thankyou

Danny.

The Buster is looked at as somewhat entry level. It has proven to be a good kite for ATB and the price is right. The Brooza has smaller openings making it so handles gusts a lot better. Inflates slower.
The new Brooza has an adjustable bridle. I'm not sure if the Buster 2 does ?

Both kites come with the adjustable bridal now, both have the wingtip zips to empty the kite, the real difference is that the Buster II is geared towards new pilots, more stable, slower reacting, less lift/speed. The Brooza is a fast kite, it can generate lift if you let it, it'll hang out better at the edge of the window, more power, but the Brooza needs a little more pilot input as well. Where the buster does great on turns with just the power lines, the Brooza likes some brake input. The Brooza's also designed to absorb gusts and is well suited for nasty inland winds.

Both kites are good in their own right, so it really depends on how experienced you are. If you have the extra $$$ the Brooza would be a better kite in the long run, Busters are aimed more at beginners. Having said that, the busters can be pretty good with it adjusted for lift/power.
