- 💰𝐊𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞! Kitesurfing is not a cheap sport, but do you really have to break the bank to get into brand new kites? 3 years ago, I tested a small brand kite, and I have stuck with it ever since. 3 years is a lot of kitesurfing in my life; as I live on the spot, I can kite often, and I will too! Here is my presentation about how Ventum kites are looking after 3 years of usage and a little timeline. Enjoy the powerzone please :)

I bought one in 12 m2, very good quality, design, a Big outsider in this market. I'm definitely, Ventum's addict. 🤙
Cool.happy for you mate. But watch out, addictions are bad. 😜
lol I can't believe you spent Covid times in italy chilling and kiting ;)
Nice long test review. Thanks. I got a 9 m Xplore and smile every time I go out, so I will be going for a 7 m too 🙂
Thanks Thomas! Was there anything specific that was helpful for you? I used to be only on the xcite but lately I teach on the xplore and man it is a good kite!
I have the Zian Aquila kite in 10m, I read that Zian rebranded to Ventum, is the excite kite the same as the Aquila? I love my Aquila for how responsive it is when turning, it’s so fast!
Yes, you are right, you will find the Zian founder under Ventum now. I think he did quite a bit improvement, especially the low end! give it a try! Xplore is the equivalent of the Aquila.
Nice review!
Thanks!
I think you also take a good care of it and don’t do silly things neither. The kites looks in very good condition !
Tell us how much you managed to sell it for in the end ;)
Yes, I did, it is worth buying a kite from me :) #reputation!
I dont want to unveil all my secrets haha but i got a decent price on them, they kept the price well. I feel that kite price is not often going under 6-400 eur unless they ancient or really bad. SO as the price gets compressed it has more resistance - wont drop below a certain point.
I just checked some other kites on the web from 2020 - they come 700- 800 with a (click!)bar that is less good of a deal.
I am happy with the value hold - apparently in Netherlands it has a good market!
@@EpicGust true. It will be difficult to find a 9m from 2020 of any brand at below 600-500. So you are right that if the starting price is way lower, the reselling price becomes quite attractive in the end plus you used a new kite for a while.
Have you decided what you’re going to replace them with?
I am glad you asked. Instead of the 12 i have now an 11 xcite V2, and a brand new 7 and 9 too :) SO i sticked with them. To be fair, was fancy to have North for a season or two. Try as many as you can!:)
En what do you think of the v2? Big changes?
@@kntimmermans slight AR change towards higher aspect I feel. Pretty similar tho. I love it and today I tried th V2 xplore and man I was blown away. Big air kite haha, I really like it. Simple and pulls a lot. Great for boosting. xcite loops much faster tho.
@@EpicGust thanks! Would love to test one...
@@kntimmermans well if you come to brazil, i will let you test it :) i have a nice quiver of them all models
so do u recommend ventum kites?
Short answer - yes absolutely! THere is no drawback, and people will come to you asking what it is! :)) #makingnewfriends :)
Long version - I recommend not to get into one brand or one price range too religiously, so many riders do this mistake, missing out on great kites! This is definitely one of them! The XCITE has a similar shape to a Duotone Dice, a Cabrinha FX, or Fone Bandit. If you like fast kites, you will love this too. TBH I don't mind the price being lower. Quality is the same :) and knowing that they know and take care of you at a small brand is worth more to me than to own a big brand kite and receive no or late reply on customer service and stuff like this in case that's needed.
Does a kite need to be crispy and why is everyone talking about that?
Doesnt have to be but it is not bad! It is like the new car smell :))
The canopy itself when it is fresh, brand new, it is very cryspy, making that fresh crisping sound when you fold it. Like a sturdy plastic bad. After years of flapping, sun and aging, this crispiness goes away. Eventually it will be soft as a blanket. When it is too soft it is prone to braking.
I bought one , performance is shit compared to duotone / north … just slow kites. Looks are ok
There is a sayin in my country about chef's. You can get a new pot 🍲 but if the chef can't cook the food will be the same. 🤙 With all my respect!
