Wild Thing Revival V Wild Thing Revival V Underpowered the kite felt a bit over-sheeted, even in the medium set up, so we recommend not to set the steering lines to more power. Hang time and jump hight was okay, but not a Woo sports game changer. This might be due to the way a five line kite works, but it may also have to do with the amount of pressure (6-7 PSI) the kite was pumped. When aggressively edging your board and powering the kite up, aiming for example for a jump, the fifth line can be felt the kite tends to twiggle a bit a this point from side to side. The slow setting is taking it even further less reactive (for this 9m). There are two set up possibility for the steering lines. It needs to stay in one place, which it does. If you do a freestyle trick you don’t want to get the kite flying all over the place. Considering the aim of this kite the pure performance oriented C-shape we started to understand that this behaviour is intended. You feel that the kite wants to stay at a certain angle. We got a bit less quick response from the kite than at our first feeling. When you take it out of a ride this feeling changes a bit. The first feeling, standing on the beach, of the kite is that it is a quick responsive kite. We tested the nine meter in a steady 20 to 22 knots of wind with some small waves. This is a bit less than most riders would pump it. There are no bridles or pulleys and it has five struts, but no battens. It has a classic in- and deflate system with a very well working one-pump system, which should be a 6-7 PSI. There are five colour options, which are much nicer in reality than is shown on the web-page. The Prima Donna comes with a five line set-up with a split on the fifth line a few meters from the kite. If you look at it it feels like spring is in the air. The sixth version of the Prima Donna comes -again- with a very recognizable huge half of a flower on the trailing edge of the kite. Prima Donna with the typical flower in it’s design From the three kites we tested, we liked Mr Fantastic the least. We found it quite comparable with the Naish Ride, all though the Ride felt much stiffer. It is certainly not a freestyle of a kite that wants to be looped around.It is more the opposite. The power comes quite dosed which is excellent for it’s low-end (it had quite some pull in our 20 knot wind). All three tested kites get a recommended pressure of 6-7 PSI, which is on the low side.įlying the kite gives you a power full feeling straight away from the bar. It has a nice, wide inflate system similar as Cabrinha that feeds the solid working one-pump system. It has two different settings on the steeringlines, but the outer (faster) setting is the one to use. It has three struts and really long bridles with pulleys. Fantastic comes with a classic one-pump system which works as it should. Fantastic III 10 m2 JN Mr Fantastic Inflate The second-hand market is also a lot more limited for these kites. It is not a very well-known brand, which is not a bad thing if you want to ride something different from the crowd. The (list) prices of the kites and bars aren’t as cheap as you would have hoped. Fantasic third edition , the pure performance oriented C-shaped Prima Donna sixth edition and the fast responding performance weapon Wild Thing Revival 5th edition. We tested the latest models of three different versions they produce The all purpose Mr. Not only did they design kites for some of the big brands in the industry before 2003, but you might also remember that kite with the huge, funny looking flower on a kite…?! Yes that is a JN kite. JN Kites, named after its founders in 2003 Bernd Jochum and Michael Nesler, might be known to you without realising it.
