LF Session from a construction stand point Posted: 07 Mar 08 10:35 AM (United States) |

I have been kitesurfing since the beggining, teaching for 6 years, and repairing kite for 3 years. It has been exciting to see the technical advances in kite design and construction over the years. One of the new shining stars is the Liquid Force Session SLE kite. The kite flys fine, relaunches average or better against other SLE's. Where this kite really stand above others is the construction. The leading edge is the strongest built I have ever seen. Although not a super high jumper or ultra fast turner, this kite is perfect for the beginner who as we all know will be smashing and crashing the first kite.
I ride GK Trix down the line becuase of the turning speed and and the deep draft keeps them back in the wind window. Boards I do Litewave surfshape (strapped) for big days and Surf-tech Xanado Wave Rocket (wax only) for smaller days. For flat water I go for the Nemi HP, responsiveness with hangtime, have enjoyed the 07 LF Element 140 in the flats, I like the swing weight of the board although many others prefer a lighter board.
