The design is very exciting, with
a very wide array of performance
and flying abilities, which is
rather uncommon for an individual
kite. When designing the
kites, power is always prioritized
for the development of larger
sizes while strapless and wave
riding are the main design criteria
for the smaller sizes. For its
10th edition, the Bandit keeps
all of its original qualities but
becomes even easier and more
comfortable to fly. The development
work has been focused on
traction and speed.
Powerful enough to achieve
early planing, the kite seems to
self-regulate naturally to pull
you effortlessly. We got rid of
the lateral pull so that you can
ride with less pressure on your
back and legs. Riding upwind
is amazingly easy, traction is
softer and totally regulated.
This new version of the Bandit
is the must have kite for wave
riding and Camille Delannoy can
confirm it!
