If your after a review by pro independent riders check out www.Kiteworldmag.com and go to gear review then year then kite, hope it helps,

I don't know about the envy 2011. I have flown envy 10 meter 2013 and it has a lot of power. My light wind kite is a 12 meter LF NRG 2013 plus 134x47 cm Oxygen Epic board. I can kite from 10 knotts.

Too bad. Its hard to find information about this kite. I just found this test on "SBCKiteboard". Does anyone know, how indepented this mag is? Most mags will write good review due to the money a kite brand is paying for advertisement Any Idea?

spoke to a mate in the uk ex north r&d hes rode the envy 2 reckons youd be lucky at 12 knts maybe 15 and itd come alive, also mentioned the bars depower is a pain being under bar, also very sticky cleat when trying to power or depower under a bit of bar pressure,said it was of great construction and a nice kite , imo the would be a few kites you should have a look at in this department,

Thanks man. Yesterday i bought it. I have to admit i wasn?t sure, if it will be a good decision to buy a kite, i?ve never tried before. The Maxflow system just rocks. I pumped my kite so fast, really nice. On the water the kite felt immediately good. No problems with the way it was fyling. I was happy so far. In the beginning we?d around 13/14 knots and i was able to go upwind with my 135 Styx at 86 kg bodyweight, but there were not enough power for unhooking. So for lighter wind i definitely need a lightwind board! When the wind picked up to 16 knots the kite was really powerful and what i didn?t expected the envy had a really good release! When the wind were gusting 20 Knots, i was still able to hold the kite without any problems. Really impressing!

As i?ve read somewhere else, sometimes it a bit harder to relauch it (compered to the rpm, with goes out of the water super fast). Yes it is, but i works fine, too. After the first session, i?ve to say it was a good deal and it will fits perfectly to my 10m? RPM. I?d say with a normal freestyleboard of 135x41 i?ll be able to go out in 12-19 knots.

Any question? Feel free to ask.



All my Raley to blind worked well and also the bar pressure was perfect! On jump transition i was ab

I used to own a 15m envy. Good kite for heavy beginners. Lots of grunt to get you up. These kites are a low aspect driven kite. they get you up and going but at a low upwind angle. I ended up down wind walking back up with a heavy pull walk of shame. Most newer lite wind kites have a higher aspect and lighter feel. Don't be afraid of H.A. kite like a 2012 ozone edge or later. They are not the wild thing most peaple think they are.
