Love my av8 14m . Huge wind range. I am 180 lbs. Best jumping sesh on winds 18-25knts. And can also ride at 12knts smooth. Great hangtime. I Also add extension lines to get 27m for kites 12m-18m it adds smooth ride on gusty condition and even better hangtime. Yes SB jumps higher but hangtime is on av8. One thin you must remember is line tune ups. If your center lines stratch 2-3 inches it will add load of bar pressure. So must tune up every few sesh
have Velocity's 11m and 13m. Favorite kites I've ever flown. Have you flown Velocitys? I'm curious how the AV8 compares. I'm guessing very comparable kites.
@@kevinbradley9601 used I have 18m velocity and won't sale it as there is no kite in comparison on market for light winds 7-18knts . I had Apollo as well
@@denysmst thanks i feel the same. Just sweet smooth kites to fly. I have a 15m Contra which is a phenomenal lightwind kite and I'd say my 13m Velocity is pretty close.
I have learned my first hand-drag and dark slide loops with Apollo 14. Cause it is quite slow it was very good to learn. And if there some wind I haven't find any problems to relaunching Apollo 14m
I’m on 2018 switchblades, besides change of materials and colours are there any differences between them and the new 2020 switchblade? Also how does the new North orbit fly regarding kite loops and boosting compared to the switchblade?
Great video again... also i liked your video between the rebel and the dice! How would you compare the Rebel against the AV8? Keep up the good work and thanks for your amazing input. Greets David
@Ryan Goloversic Thanks for the fast reply! We have whattsapp group with a couple of kite addicts and last week we mentioned that your videos are always really good and really worth to watch before you decide to buy new gear. Looking forward to see some new video's in the future.
Hey guys! Awesome video comparison... quick question - How would you stack up the 14m AV8 against a 13m Contra in terms of riding a twintip in 14-20 knots?

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! 🤙🏽 Good winds to you, my friend. -Aaron
Great video. Only there is no AV8 in bigger sizes compared to previous years on velocity.
Awesome video and great comparison. Thanks so much for posting!
Thanks for posting. Great content.
What about the drifter for big kiteloops?
Can you do a video between the eleveight fs and the north orbit?
Great videos!!

I don't know much about the orbit yet, but well, Nick Jackobsen is megalooping on a 12m orbit, so I really want to try this kite.

14m velocity is like 15m contra . But with huge wind range. It basically covers 2 kite sizes. I can ride it 14-25 knts just changing board .
Background song? :)

it's super ugly 😅
