Rock solid stability, directional float, pivotal turning and effortless re-launch highlight the Envy’s “beyond delta” design for all around performance. This ultra lightweight three strut platform gives light, responsive bar feel with impulse pivotal turning. The Envy’s flight characteristics blend to produce a distinct “set it and forget it” feel. This makes it the perfect kite for everything from progressive wave riding to kite low freestyle domination. Land a jump a bit too hot, under run the kite in a bottom turn… forget about it! The Envy’s lightweight design allows the kite to float directionally, enabling you to forget about the kite and concentrate on the important issues: making grabs, spotting landings and reading waves straight into the pit.

Super nice kite.
This is my second kite. I'm pretty new kiting, a year now, but I ride twice a week. My previous kite was a 2008 Best Waroo. Let me tell you this. It's a different sport. I bought the all-included package whit harness and a 136 edge board.
Awesome. The firs think you will note is how fast it gets ready to fly, and the light it is. The backpack is rock solid, nice design, big enough.
The bar is also super nice and comfortable. The bar pressure is super light compared to my Waroo!
You can literally ride 6 hours non-stop , that comfortable it is.
The Deluxe Harness is super nice too, I like it.
The board is ok for a beginner board. Works like a charm on light wind (12-15Knots) Nice to handle waves, no so nice for big jumps, its too big for that. But a great all-around board.
Again about the kite itself. SUPER Light on the air! REally fast for a 12, no kidding here. GREAT WIND RANGE! I was out there with 26-28 Knots and it goes perfect. And I ride it with 12Knots and even it's no great, you can ride wile others are still at the beach.
Great hanging time, This kite gives you so much confidence, it's awesome.
Graphics are sick! Finally a really good looking kite.
Go and get yours.

All round kite & high quality
We have been using the Envy in the school for the last 3 years now and for a number of reasons:
Brilliant construction, the toughest available, by a mile!
Fantastic stability
Direct feel and responsive turning
Huge and smooth depower range
Easy re-launch
Powerful
Fast though the air with its thin struts and leading edge
Excellent performance, especially for wakestyle and in the waves
Great Bar!!!
The 2012 Envy has a slightly different bridle with the middle attachments no longer meeting in the middle and the wingtips are slightly more swept back, this has given the kite even better re-launch and also more de-power.
If you are looking for an all around kite that has the highest quality build available then the Envy is perfect!

Envy 2012
I'm not very experienced, only 2 yrs. I had 12m Cabrinha SB 2011 and now I have 12m + 9m LF envy. I didn't try 9m, but 12m was very super for me. It was super easy and I think it is very light. Last I bought Cabrinha everyone said, it's the best. But I'm very sorry, I like Envy much more. Maybe it's easier for beginner, who I am, but I said what I think.
