Both the 11 and 13 Mists work great in the 18-20 knots range. They power up easy and power delivery is solid and controllable. The pull is direct, but surprisingly, the bar pressure is quite low. This is a plus IMO. It you are into unhooked tricks,... read more
Blade Mist 2014 Kite Review
Kite Features
The Mist is a brand new member of the Blade kite family. As the guys at Blade say, the Mist is something completely different from anything they’ve released in the past. This is a powerful C-kite that packs lots of grunt and thrust and it is aimed towards intermediate, advanced and pro riders. It is not a machine for beginner users, as it is able to unleash awesome force. Experienced riders will love the way it performs technical tricks and intermediate ones will take their skills to the next level with this kite.
The action packed Mist is a C-kite that generates some serious grunt to propel you to new heights. If you want to experience the true meaning of unhooked riding and perform stylish kiteloops, bigger boosts, cool handle passes and any other trick in the book, this is the kite for you. The kite features a Sharp Contoured Wingtips design, which helps minimize the bridle system and making it very reactive to rider input.
The Bridle reduction wingtips design also provides a direct control. This system is designed to give exclusive support to the LE without jeopardizing the direct feel. And it is perhaps the shortest bridle system used by a freestyle kite. The Mist is able to generate explosive pop, yet it is very easy to control. This way it is able to take freestyle and wakestyle to a new level. The pull is solid and continuous, providing the rider with the performance needed for classy tricks.
A RPG Profile (Reliable Power Generator Profile) is used to deliver consistent power after the initial pop. Five rigid struts keep the kite extremely stable even in gusts and assure a crisp control. Turning is generated at the wingtip, resulting in continuous and minimal loss of power. This feature allows you pull off cool loops with ease. The Mist is powerful, controllable and stylish. It is a perfect freestyle machine.
