Thanks for the feedback! Between North and Cabrinha the construction and durability is on par. They both implement high quality parts and we regard them as the highest quality. I'll keep this request on my list when writing future reviews. - Rygo
Hi Rygo,just got a 7 m Moto and also have a 15m contra I notice the wind range has a bit of an overlap, I also have an 8 m switchblade and a 11 switchblade what would be your thoughts on replacing the 11 m with say a 10m as the contra seems to be quite good up to about 18/20 knots thanks Dave
Sebastian Veloso The Switchblade has a larger wind range. It gets air easier and is lofty. The Moro has less range but is faster. You can whip the kite while jumping for air. It’s more fun to fly but less efficient. The motto is better for foiling. Hope that helps - Rygo
MACkiteboarding haha! unrelated request...you mentioned the FX a few times in this video. I think the similarities between the Moto and the FX warrant their own comparison video. They sound extremely similar to me, perhaps even redundant?
There is a saying in kiteboarding. "If you're not dropping your kite, you're not learning." Kites are tested to take impact. All that said, just be mindful. Obviously it's not a good idea to slam the kite down onto rocks or beach grass. On the water, it's going to happen. To give some perspective. We've been teaching with three strut kites for 15 years. In that time, students have crashed many three strut kites from all our brands. Not just on the water but on the beach. It's very rare that we have to repair our lesson kites. I hope that helps my friend! -Rygo
pavas01 Thanks, You read my mind! I'm planing on trying them back to back pretty quickly here. They are similar but I'm never too quick to make an assessment. - Rygo.
Great series Rygo! Keep me coming.
please this variable,,,, durability... is so important and no body talks about it,,,

I also wonder about comparisons with Moto VS Evo
That will be a fun video for sure! I'm looking forward to testing them back to back. - Rygo
Hi, I have a 2011 Crossbow ... is the moto the new version of the crossbow? witch kite is more similar to the crossbow?
thanks!!
Which ones is better for freestyle?
Fx 😂 but I’d take the switchy between these two. - Rygo
What do you think to buy a 12mt sb or 12mt moto ? Love big air and foiling. Actually I use a 12 mt sb but need to upgrade it..

Hi, thanks for a great video. The Moto excists in XO moto and moto, What is the difference?
Cheers. The only difference is the color. The Xo is meant for the ladies but I'd have no problem riding it. - Rygo
@@MACkiteboardingAh:)
Who played the “playful” drinking game? Drink every time Rygo says “playful” 😂😂😂
Good video though!
Ben Knechel bahaha, welp. You can be sure I'm crossing that word off my list for future videos. Cheers my friend. - Rygo

Check the Versus playlist on our channel. The Moro vs the FX dropped the same day as this video. 🤘oh... I might say playful in that to... 😂
Sounds like moto is better than sb Niall regards. What’s the trade off of moto comparing to switchblade?
Also does the round shape of switchblade give you easier relaunch while moto is more towards c shaped kites
what happen if you crash your 14 mts 3 strut kite¿? can he absorbe well the impact or the long área of just fabric will pay??

slow down Jeee can't keep up
Hey, maybe you can do a video comparing the new Moto with the North Evo, they sound pretty similar.
Thanks

@@MACkiteboarding Would be interesting to compare with the Naish Pivot as well.
