Havoc Question ??

slarson · Since 23 Oct 2007 2 Posts New Member

For all you havoc riders(07).
I am looking @ a good deal on a 8 & 12M. I am flying a bow now and not sure how the range and low end will compare?

Thanks Steve

2nd Wind in Hood River has the new Havocs in stock, I'm sure they'll get you a deal if you buy 2 kites.

I flew an 08 8m havoc at lyle... sweet kite... nice power throughout the range... it reminded me of the feel of the rev. For comparison, I put it down and got on my 06 7m waroo... the difference was really in the constant power feel. My waroo disappears at times with the power.

It was 1m bigger, but I would say the havoc had a lot more power.

The main differences between the Havoc and a bow style kite will be in the quickness and pop that the Havoc will have.
The big advantages of the Havoc kite are it's quick turning capability and it's ability to give you good pull for boosting air.
The one thing that you will also benefit from is the lighter bar pressure of the Havoc, which reduces arm fatigue and allows for better unhooked riding performance.

As for availability, we have a couple of the new 08 Havocs and some 07 closeouts at the shop, but our big shipment of 08 stock and 07 closeouts is supposed to be coming within the next week or two.

Please give us a shout at the shop if you have any questions.

Thanks
