I'm looking for new season kite for (surfboard) wave riding, downwinders along the WA coast. I'm considering (RRD Religion , Naish Trip) so far, but open to other brands - like Wainman. (I had Naish Park before) I'm open to other good brands - no compromise on quality is the key. What is the best wave kite for WA conditions? I'm not limited to Australian fashion/prices or shops supplies. Could you please voice you opinions or experiences? Thank you!

Kite size 10-11m
Rider: intermediate, 95kg
Style: Surf, wave
Surfboard: 5.3"
Weather:18-29 knots (then I have 7m)

Ditto Above The new Reo sounds good And i have seen new North wave kite 3x strut looks great

Now now cauncy. The way I read it, nobody really won anything in that review. They all were given their merits.

From the review it seemed:
Reo: Best all-rounder user friendly.
Wave: Fastest whippiest kite, likes to be moved.
Drifter: Slowest, most powered kite, more park n ride.
Religion: Somewhere between the Reo and Wave?
Cabo: Didn't pay much attention to this review...

Its a kite built on the Neo platform, but moved back towards the Vegas, so you are pretty right. It won't compete With those wave specific kites above, but it may give a lot more versatility for those freeriders who like a really good wave kite. That's my prediction.

Yeh, been buying the mag for a few years but you can see it online at www.Kiteworld.com then navigate to gear reviews, pick your kit and read the reviews, id recommend a subscription its a wicked read , although from the UK they cover all international riders and disciplines,
