FEEDBACK: KITE UNIK 12M

Still as efficient in the low range, the new Unik gains in nervousness! Big airs are guaranteed when well powered and in the low range its maneuverability / featherweight combo is a treat for foiling or surfing as Marc explains in his feedback.

“I tested the new 12m² in 2 onshore sessions with the Alu 5’6 kiteboard, 12-15 knots, for 82kg. I specify in surfing and not in foil.

“The power is there”

The kite is very stable, the power is there. What especially impressed me is the rigidity compared to the previous model. No tendency to turn into an “octopus” when conditions get rough. Thanks no doubt to the new fabric.

The valve is also new and (in my opinion) more practical for inflating the kite.

Finally, compared to the Strutless kites that I loved in surfing, the kite maintains a good drift, but above all the hollow remains better controlled. The gliding speed of the kite and its lightness in the bar remain pleasant. I think it’s a must in waves for light winds.”
