Kite review from Bastien who now has an Ayto 9m Perf Series in his quiver for flat twin tip conditions.

Kitesurfer: Airton, GONG team rider, on the Ayto Perf Series.

Perfect for kiteloops

"My assessment is as follows: the Ayto is a fantastic kite, especially considering the price. It's high-performing in jumps while also excelling in loops. I find it very accessible, and it can be put in the hands of a beginner with my setup. Originally, it lacks a bit of feedback in the rear lines, which can be an issue for beginners. For starting out in jumps and doing your first kiteloops, it’s perfect."

Setting options

"This kite is sensitive to the different setting options. With my bar from another brand, it would oversheet when fully depowered, so I would ride with at least half trim. But Rudy made me realize that wasn’t enough and that I needed to shorten the front lines (or lengthen the rear lines), and then you end up with a powerful, comfortable kite with excellent maneuverability. I imagine that with the original bar, you wouldn't need to make these adjustments.
The adjustments on the front lines are a real plus and greatly change the feel of the kite at the bar, so don’t hesitate to play with the settings to find what works best for you!"

Test of the Ayto Aramid DP

"Thanks to Rudy, I was able to test the Ayto in 8m in its DP Aramid version. The refined leading edge, superior stiffness, and double profile completely transform the kite! The difference is just incredible. While the Ayto is an accessible kite, the Ayto DP is not for everyone: it’s ultra-responsive! Really!"
