Anyone tried them yet?

Nup, but im into it how kite companies are starting to make boots. air rush have a sweet looking pair and also north. at least kite companies will be getting our money instead of wakeboard companies.

I've been testing them a fair bit and am really enjoying them. They don't have quite the same board connection as Hyperlite (nothing on the market does honestly) but they are really good boots.

Pros:
Easy to get in and out of
Durable - I saw a proto pair that was a full year old and they still looked brand new after a ridiculous amount of kite and wake sessions on them
Velcro works well
Super light
Supportive enough but good lateral flex
Cheaper than wake brands (retail $499 AUD)

Cons:
They fit big. I'm a true 11US shoe and I wear the 9-10. I swim in the 11-12 (XL)
Lower cut than I usually like but I'm getting used to it

I ride these every week at the cable and kiting and have found them to be a really good boot. I'm used to a high cut, super stiff and supportive boot so I thought I was going to hate them but I was pleasantly surprised. I'll be riding these interchangeably with my Hyperlites this season.

Thanks for the review, what's the cushioning like?

Cushioning and liner is very very good. They are built off the chassis of a DUP boot but with different materials that make them last better for kiting. I have had some insanely hard landings in them and the cushion was top notch! I rate them better than the Ronix I used to ride. Plus no lace locks to f*** up.

Thanks mate, I think I will give them a run.

Alberto Rondina had his in Fiji with us in July, we got to demo them and see how they wear. Instantly they feel comfortable.
Alby had been riding them intensely for 6 months and very happy with the durability of them, no stretching, sunken cushion inserts ect.
They are light weight, with 4 sizes available sure to find a nice fit.
