Thanks to your wonderful video, I tried an Arrow-M in 2-5 BFT and learned to really enjoy it’s high aspect ratio sail. It really helps to have a friend launch it for the first few flights; especially in inconsistent wind speeds. Would be great if it came with a matching tail too :D
Yeah, your right but usually "real speed kites" are super difficult to launch. Many peoples think they know "how to fly" a kite, get the Whizz and brake it quickly. I don't know, if any company mass produces high performance kites like the Tiger 2. Boutique kites are a bit like boutique cars..... different from the mass produced :)
@@gokitinggr with a Starthelper its easy to start the Tiger 2 and then You will see what Real Speed is. last Years at a Day in SPO, I could test this special Speedkite and it was a very very special experiance for me. This Kite is easy to fly but allways running in Loops to the Best.
@@gokitinggr I certainly agree with the “hard to launch” observation..do you think it’s because of the weight of the kite or more related to sail configuration???
It depends mostly on the wind speed, the size of the kite how you fly it. So yeah... any kite can drag you, mega strong wind will drag you even without kite. When you feel comfortable with your kite try it in higher wind (let's say 5-6 Bft). The Arrow M is too small to drag you but Whizz (in 6 Bft?) or something bigger.....
I think many peoples who say "Rev" actually mean "quad line". You can check their history. Unfortunately, the most copied quad lines, I don't know what else to say..... it's a different tool, again fun to fly. I will start uploading quad line footage soon. I'm waiting to receive some videos from friends ;)
I have the whizz also but it's a bastard to start in heavy winds, you got serious damage after one single failed start. How different in flying and starting is this arrow M? I'm thinking to buy a arrow M also or go better with a space Kites Wilde Hilde
Liros DC 40. For low/mid wind they are ok but on the stronger gusts I felt some stretch... I guess HQ Liros 100kp, 30m would be great! They are thin (for 100kp) and smooth.
This was plenty fun to watch my friend!

Thanks for sharing Kosta! 👍
Great stuff Kostas as always!
Great video. Arrow M seems to be very fast
Hello Kosta, I recommend to you the gladiator 1.8 It's very fast kite 🙂
Top Gun, eh? “I have the NEED FOR SPEED”. I have the Whizzaroo too and I always get a laugh when flying it...is the Arrow pretty much the same??
what about a Tiger 2 of Long Duong??
The Tiger 2 is Real SPEED!
I think the Whizzz is more Need fore Speed and of course, more challenging to fly. Maybe I can make a video and compare them at the same conditions.

Thats nice
How did you get the Sail battens on it’s really hard to attach them
insert them firstly in the sail pocket, than bend the rod, deform the connector.... I will make a video next time ;)
Hello master, I would like to know, in your opinion, which kite could drag a person weighing 100 kilos? Except the Fazer.
It depends mostly on the wind speed, the size of the kite how you fly it. So yeah... any kite can drag you, mega strong wind will drag you even without kite. When you feel comfortable with your kite try it in higher wind (let's say 5-6 Bft). The Arrow M is too small to drag you but Whizz (in 6 Bft?) or something bigger.....
@@gokitinggr hahaha yes sure a typhoon knocks down the houses. Thanks
@@gokitinggr So You say that Whizz is more powerful than Arrow M? :o (I know its faster)
@@milenafedorczyk9411 Yes, the Whizz was about to kill me once. It's not a joke, be careful with this kite!
where is this place ?, nice area.
It's at Glyfada, Athens, Greece. I see you have subscribed to some Greek channels.... ;)
anywhere near?
Great flying, as usual.
What do you think about the Rev kites?.
I think many peoples who say "Rev" actually mean "quad line". You can check their history.

@@gokitinggr Revolution kites, exactly. I have one and it’s really fun but somehow I notice that it’s less challenging.
Hi, I can know why you use 40kp lines?how much wind was there in this demonstration?
As I remember, around 20km/h on avg, 3.5 bft. The kite is small, I think 40-70kp are enough up to 4-5 Bft
@@gokitinggr Thanks!
Hi. Is the Whizz faster?
I would say yes.... but they are different beasts, not so much in speed but feeling and power
I have the whizz also but it's a bastard to start in heavy winds, you got serious damage after one single failed start. How different in flying and starting is this arrow M?
I'm thinking to buy a arrow M also or go better with a space Kites Wilde Hilde
What brand of lines do you use for the arrow m?
Liros DC 40. For low/mid wind they are ok but on the stronger gusts I felt some stretch... I guess HQ Liros 100kp, 30m would be great! They are thin (for 100kp) and smooth.
@@gokitinggr Thanks!
Thanks to you
I have a New One, Look: 3rd #PXB10!
too small but nice. use the bigger Arrow and you have much more Fun. :)
Actually, I like very much the Little Arrow and the Arrow XL. I haven't tried the "normal" red one....
@@gokitinggr what do you think about a Fusion by korvokites??
Looks cool! I wish someday people start sending me kites for video reviews :)
@@gokitinggr for that, I need your mailadress.
@@gokitinggr it feels good, it is a bit fragile, the attack bar broke after a month and did not suffer any heavy blows
