Barely used 8m PETER LYNN NOVA foil kite
 
Note: Closed cell kite that you can kite both on land as snowkite and in water.
 
SUMMARY:
This is quite a specific kite programmed for hydrofoiling, but if you’re looking to open up your riding window without the complication of a race kite, this is a really good option that won’t break the bank. Stable and easy – you can really push your light wind limits.
KW LIKED: Total confidence with the kite overhead and at the side of the window in light winds – completely different to most LEI kites.
KW WOULD CHANGE: We didn’t find the boost button as easy as some foil kites, but in reducing that extreme forward flight speed and lift, the Nova has become a super easy kite for most people to use with their foils.
