Hadlow Pro Kite Review: Airhead Surf Diary
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008Dan Sweeney Airhead team rider sent us his view on the Hadlow Pro kite 2008….. I have not checked spelling so hope its all ok…
So over to Dan Sweeney…….
“Well I have been raving and waiting for flexifoil to bring out the kite that Aaron (Hadlow 4x world kitesurf champ) has been using for the 2007 PKRA world tour, and well here it is and man…what a kite!
The kite has been made for intermediate to expert riders wanting a kite to perform in all areas from big kiteloops and unhooked new school tricks wanting to take kiteboarding to a new level and bringing the sport forward like Aaron has!
As I took the kite out of its box when I and Andy got down the beach, I could tell it was going to be awesome!
The kite has a very nice colour scheme and cool graphics on the wingtips with the kite size, and S for the 7, M for the 9, L for the 11 and XL for the 13 obviously meaning small, medium, large and extra large. This is a nice looking extra to give it a distinctive look. The one pump system is great as it nice and simple with arrows on the valves saying if it’s the dump or in value, also Flexifoil have put the dump valve on the right hand side wing tip so you can roll the kite up in one.
The leading edge of the kite I have to say is super thin for fast turning and quick through the loops, also making the kite so fast is the huge wig tips for fast response.
