2010 EVO in 25-30knots (83 kilo )

The new 2010 Evo feels much smoother than last year although its bar pressure /sheeting force seems to have increased form the Evo 2009. The Evo 2010 definately has a better low end to high end windrange  than the 2009. Jumps are huge and floaty and the kite loops with awesome power – unhooked is where the evo 2010 kite seems to be best, sitting right in the middle of the window  and pushes your confidence in strong wind.

Its overall looks dont look particuarly ‘Delta’ shaped – but C shaped (low aspect)- it has the bar pressure and jumping ability of a ‘ C’ but with added de-power.The evo 2010 will not dissapoint Evo fans and lovers – I cant wait to try it out in 4 line mode this weekend in waves.
In my opinion a very easy to use sheet & go kite

In the same session I also had a blast on the Vegas 2010 – what a kite ! The bar pressure funnily enough felt lighter than the Evo – steering was so direct in freeide mode I wasnt sure I had North’s premuim ‘C’ Vegas in my hands at all.

The kite looks more High aspect than before and very C shaped – a very user friendly kite – in honesty I have been riding the Evo since the diabolical Vegas 08 but now feel it may be time to re- visit the ole friend.
