Nirvana, Fearless, DS, Exile, and Talon kites seem to have extremely happy owners.

I think the real parameter is "Money".

The question should be:
"I have 1000 euro (sorry pounds), what kites should I buy? :?

Are you going to fly competatively?
All that matters in life is kite flying, love and work ….preferably in that order.

In the bag; Shhhhh... far too many to mention, don't tell the Missus!

Which Nirvana you are refering to ? The original Nirvana or the Nirvana SE.

Anyone got some time on the TC XS yet? Still saving for my Ghost to complete my TC set but the XS in Aerostuff looks awesome...as does the price!
A NOHD will be published for the DS in due course, till then wear sunnies.

Yes, i've flown it in Stella. Although i really dislike the Cosmic, the XS feels better then to big one to me. Still has that horrible dead spot but if you wanna do pitch tricks everything is there....

I was referring to the original, but have heard good things about the SE.
