Hey Guys! Today we are discussing the differences between the Kite and Wing Impact vest options from ION. We get asked "Should I be wearing an impact vest?" on a regular basis - we believe that the answer is yes. Not only do impact vests offer a slight element of buoyancy (around 30 Newtons), they also really help to take the impact of any big crashes or blows to your body when either kitesurfi...

    • @TheWatersportsCentre
      @TheWatersportsCentre 2 місяці тому

      Yes kite construction is moving so quickly in recent years it's crazy right!! The cool thing is that in our view, Aluula definitely still has it's place and is a great fabric. It gives kites such rigidity - the downside is that it is still expensive so to have other construction options is great. The PROWELD combined with the HyperModel design is definitely worth trying as it responds so quickly to your inputs and creates a true high performance experience!

    How is its lightwind performance? I saw on the website that it says that you need at least 16kts for the 11m2 (for advanced riders lol), which is insanely bad even for an aluula kite. This has to be a typo right?

    seems to bee too much tender loops?

    • @TheWatersportsCentre
      @TheWatersportsCentre 10 місяців тому

      Yeah we can understand where you are coming from! It was lighter than expected on the day of filming. For reference George is around 95KG and was on a 8m with around 22-26knots of wind. So there wasn't too much wind to play with. This is an interesting point that you make! As the newer big air kites are now much higher aspect, they generate less torque through the loop which enables some more technical manoeuvres. If you compare this to an Enduro, with a mid-aspect design the loop is slower but pulls slightly harder. This is really interesting to note when looking at the differences in what kites now offer. What is really fun about it, is that the loop with the Vortex is over and done really quickly, giving you plenty of time to consider and practice new moves like board-offs and rotations with plenty of control and time as your lines have more tension in comparison to something like the Enduro which usually has more slack in the lines after a more 'powerful' loop. Really love these kinds of discussions, we love talking about kites!

    How does it compare to the Evo D-LAB?

    • @TheWatersportsCentre
      @TheWatersportsCentre 10 місяців тому

      This is a really great question! Sadly, we haven't had the opportunity to test the Duotone Evo D/LAB. However, it would be very interesting to do so. As the Vortex has been designed from the ground up for KOTA specially with Aluula as the key component. This is interesting as most other Aluula models have been adapted from inline products such as the Evo SLS. This doesn't take away from the fact that the D/LAB Evo currently is the most decorated competition kite. We would love to put them together for comparison! If we are ever able to do this we will be sure to document this!

    • @TheWatersportsCentre
      @TheWatersportsCentre Рік тому

      Hey! Thank you it's a very interesting shape isn't it! The ION impact vests have 30 newtons of buoyancy, so we tend to say that they have a noticeable amount of buoyancy that will keep your head about the water - but we like to make it clear that they are not sold as buoyancy aids, but as Impact vests as in order to be inline with the bouyancy aid requirements floatation devices have to be at least 50 newtons :) We hope that this helps!

      Hi Oliver, George wears a Large 5/4 Front Zip. We would recommend that you should stay warm enough in a Seek Select 5/4 as seen in the video. We use these suits into deep winter, where the water temperatures can reach 6 degrees. We would highly recommend it, if you are looking for a very warm suit ready for those winter sessions! :) If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask! :)
