The new Best Kahoona 2009 is the perfect choice for every rider looking for a
super stable, easy-to-rig, easy-to-fly kite. We currently have the Best Kahoona 9.5m (medium)
on demo. Stu from ATBshop and Kitesurf Store has been out in Egypt for a week flying the Best Kahoona and our team riders Marcus and Greg have ridden the kite hard on land to get a feel for it.
The verdict, the Kahoona is an extremely grunty and versatile kite, it relaunches almost automatically on land just by twisting the bar, it is extremely stable which is great for beginners or more forgiving as a freestyle kite. The Kahoona is a completely new design - It’s different - It’s Delta shaped – and it’s going to make your kiteboarding easier and safer than ever before. If you want the easiest to relaunch kite that Best have made then the Kahoona is for you. The Kahoona has been designed for all riders and all riding styles, from beginners to big-wave surfers everyone is going to fall in love with the Kahoona. The Best Kiteboarding Kahoona comes in 4 sizes: SPECIAL OFFER PRICES WHILE STOCKS LAST 20% DISCOUNT!!! AN AWESOME PRICE FOR THIS KITE!!!! Best Kahoona 9.5m (medium) Kite only RRP £535 Now £428 Complete £627 All 2009 Kahoonas are now shipping with the 2009 45cm and 55cm Bars. One thing we have noticed when test flying the kites that the sizes are not really comparable to Waroos or other kites. It is almost a size out for some... the 9.5m Kahoona is more like a 11m Waroo in real terms and the 13.5m is more like a 15m Waroo! This makes the prices even more favorable for the power you get for your money! If you want to discuss the kites for land and for water please give us a call on 01793 523255 and we will be happy to help.

A new Redline Bar Safety System delivers instant safety-depower whenever you push the QR or drop the bar. With short bridles and only four flying lines, there is nothing to wrap around the kite should you roll it while relaunching. The Redline Safety System allows you to forget about the kite and concentrate on your riding. Best's Delta Quad-Strut swept-tip design helps minimize drag for faster, easier turning helping to improve low wind ability. Responsive handling, great downwind drift, and auto-relaunch combine to help make the Kahoona the most evolved big-wave surf kite we've ever made.A new VP2 mini-bridle provides the Kahoona with a large wind range and helps maximize stability in all riding conditions, especially when riding unhooked or overpowered. Single point connections for front and rear flying lines simplify your rigging options and make the Kahoona incredibly quick and simple to set-up even for novice riders. The Kahoona's auto-relaunch, ease of set-up, large wind range and reliable safety will help make you progress faster than you thought was possible. It comes loaded with ease of use and safety features that are out of this world, at a surprisingly down to earth price. Kahoona Product features:
Auto-relaunch: The raked back wingtip design and reduced aspect-ratio of the Kahoona combine to deliver near automatic relaunch in any conditions. The Kahoona is the fastest relaunching Best kite making it perfect for beginners and big-wave surfers. Quad-strut design: The leading edge shape and highly swept back wingtips of the Kahoona allowed the R& D team to remove the centre strut from the airframe: with one less strut in the air the Kahoona is able to turn faster, with less drag and fly in less wind than would be possible with a 5 strut layout. Mini VP2 Bridle: A short leading edge bridle provides exceptional shape support and effective distribution of canopy loads across the entire kite: the Kahoona has stability that will encourage you to push your limits. VP2's innovative pivoting design provides maximum depower from minimum bar travel making kite control simpler than ever. Redline Safety System: Dropping the bar onto the leash or firing off the chickenloop QR cuff both activate our new front line safety system, placing the kite at maximum depower with very limited residual pull in the kite. A simple and effective safety-depower system that ensures your kite is ready to be relaunched as soon as you are. Reduced Aspect Ratio: A reduced tip-to-tip length, highly swept tips and increased centre draft helps provide maximum projected area without flattening out the kite: combined with the raked back wingtips this allows the Kahoona to provide excellent low end power in every kite size. Hi-Lo Tuning: Because simplicity counts the Kahoona has only two rear flying line attachment settings, one for high wind and one for low wind: kite set up doesn't get any easier. 3D Kevlar Airframe: Our 3DK' airframe joints are 3D shaped to ensure a precision fit. Kevlar reinforced webbing secures each seam to ensure maximum strength and absolute consistency. A more accurately built kite delivers greater performance wherever and however you ride it. Optimized Aspect Ratio: Every size of Kahoona we make is tuned to deliver a consistent feel when ridden against all the other sizes in that range. We modify the speed of our smallest kites to allow for easy handling, and maximize the speed and turning ability of our larger sizes to make lightwind riding more enjoyable. CFT: Canopy Framing Technology is the original canopy protection system; each section is cut on the curve to help reduce potential crash damage by dissipating impact energy away from the lightweight sections of canopy cloth. Adding CFT to the leach line helps provide razor-sharp turning response and unmatched durability.
