At this price this has to be one of the best kites out there that we have seen. It flies well, is stable and delivers some impressive performance. It will certainly put a smile on your face and that's all that matters! The price, easily one of the lowest cost set ups around, the build quality of the kite is good and with features like one pump it is certainly a good  buy.

 USA Kite Boarder Mag reviewer our kites with an excellent review on the 2009 12m.

"During all of our sessions we could not help but notice how well the bar features worked to help the overall performance of this new kite. The new Griffin has four different connection points giving the rider the option of connecting a leash to any of the four lines. There are two O-shit grab handles on both outside lines for those moments of critical mass when you just have to kill everything immediately. The 12m Griffin held solid power throughout the wind window. The Griffin is a hybrid and in regards to de power when the bar is fully pushed out you will still have and feel some front line tension. The bar pressure is light to moderate but gave great feedback through the bar to our test team. The 12m Griffin was easy to unhook with to perform freestyle tricks and the kite provided plenty of hang time in the jumps."

"The kite did offer plenty of float that Kept us in tne air longer man we anticipated in a lot of our jumps. All in all, this kite turned out to be a solid all around kite. With its smooth and fast turning capabilities, it can be enjoyed in a wide range of disciplines from freestyle to wave riding."
