Kevin could jump very high on any kite🤣 I tried Supermodel few weeks ago, it is a good kite but I didn't notice anything special in it. Compared to real big air kites (XR, Rebel etc.) it didn't feel neither looked like one

During our gear tests in Cape Hatteras last fall, our most skilled mega loopers put the Model 3 at the very top of the head to head test.

@@Kitesurfing Yes, they are (almost?) professionals who can do many things on almost any kite. And low AR Supermodel no doubt loops better than for example Rebel, or at least it should.
But if average kiter wants to jump a bit higher I don't think Supermodel isn't that great.
What kite is the best in high wind mega looping is completely irrelevant to 99.5% of kiters. And if you watch old videos of Lenten you see that almost all modern kites actually suck in kiteloops. Pivot was bad and IDK if this Supermodel is any better
Most people never loop their kites, not even downloops in transitions. But almost all want to jump and then it makes big difference if jumps are 20ft or 25ft high

@@bekanav That was one of the 5 trends this year at the show. Many brands are introducing a second big air specialty kite for the rest of us.
