This versatile kite, will cope with all elements. A stable and predictable kite featuring light bar pressure, huge wind range, speed and consistent power through the turns.All Switch kites use constant-curve LE tubes and struts - no segmented leading edge tubes, kinks or weak spots. Constant curve tubes create a stiffer, more stable structure which is smaller, faster, lighter. A superior engineering structure that's aerodynamically clean and efficient. We don't do angled corners that disrupt airflow, concentrate stress and distort underload. Why would we? No one else seems to be doing this yet - but we insist on only the best for Switch riders.

Great kites.
I gave them 7's on performance because they are a well behaved all arounder kite. If they were crazy high performance kites then they would get a 10 but would be less of an all arounder.
the bar gets a 7 because although its really good it has some quirks. I'd like to see them move away from cast aluminum parts towards something with better corrosion resistance.
This is an excellent kite for beginner to advanced riders. If you're not sure what your style is you will like this kite. It seems to excel in the waves best and the stability is top notch. The unhooked and big air performance are also noteworthy.
