north evo 2009

review will follow: just bought the 6m: incredible lowend and a very good storm kite!!!

im stoked!!!!

DAMN

I tested a 7m in oktober and wow, what a great kite!

Testedd a 10m yesterday, the kite has a lot of bar pressure, much more then the 7!

On the north site they have a video about how to cope with bar pressure.

Does it help a lot?

Thank yoy for you’re time.

Hey Koen,

i share the same opinion. the 7 m is a perfect kite but do not buy something like the 10metre.

there is a 4 line / 5 line option but the bigger sizes just are not all that.

Would this do any good, or has it only a minor effect?

What about the 9meter 2009, is that any smoother on the barpressure?

dunno actually.

I`m another massive fan of the 7m Evo09 and like many others I was a very disapointed when I tried the 10m, it felt like a totally different kite… :0( I went with the 12m vegas instead…

The 6-7-9 evos feel similar, 10 and above feel horible in comparison… slow and heavy…

I agree totally!

And I want the vegas 9meter. Can tell me all you know about that kite (what year is best) and does it fit on any north bar?

thnx

@Koen: of course, thats a goof way to depower. As mark shinn once said, this is the way to depower a kite, not the depower strap. Depowering is only to adjust your armlenght to the bar to ride comfortably.

hi guys, I have a big question!!! what’s better between north Evo 12 and advance kaiman 12?
I am 83kg and I use a nobile 135×35, I am lookink for a delta easy to ride and with easy relaunch and jump.

Hey davide,

first off: thnx for your question.

in the comments above you’ll find that the North Evo is a KILLER kite, BUT only for sizes 6,7 and 9 metre.

So I would say: buy the Advance Kaiman instead! http://www.kiteboarding-history.com/advance-kaiman-2008/

Thank you very much!
May I ask what’s the biggest defect of north evo 12 and how come the kaiman 12 is better?
thank you very much!

Well, the evo rocks, i can tell you from experience, but i was really looking for a storm kite.

But Davide, with all respect. I would never ever buy a 12m. 11m is the biggest size you need!

thank you admin, actually I come from Italy and here we use two sizes 12mq and 9mq we have not storm but wind from 12knots to 35 knots, I have already a 9qm which I use from 20 to 35 and now I am looking for a 12qm for light wind, that’s why I asked you which is better between Kaiman 12 an evo 12.
Ciao davide

hey davide,

the kaiman is an impresive kite, looks nice a well.
