If you want a kite that offers you a smooth power delivery and easy control in a wide range of conditions, look no further that the Best Kahoona. It is one of the most versatile and reliable freeride, all-round kites on the market. The Kahoona is engineered using a Delta platform, which provides an amazing auto-relaunch capability perfect for all progressing riders.
The kite features a quad strut configuration which provides a superior low end, increased stability and a cool downwind drift potential. This features allow it perform with style in surf. If you are new to the sport, you must know that the Kahoona is forgiving and can be handled without hassle. At the same time it has the potential to keep up with you as you progress and start performing more demanding tricks.
The bridle has been revised to assure a lighter bar pressure and a more precise response. A new leading edge profile provides a smooth power delivery and keeps the kite steady and easy to control in gusts. The kite is extremely easy to realunch and has a very good depower.

The Kahoona is the only kite without EZ-Pump in the 2014 Best range. A standard inflation system is used to make the kite as simple as possible and boost its overall performance. The Bomb Proof Build quality guarantees a long life cycle.
