That's interesting, dropping the Cosmic for one.

So did I. I agree it was great... but I don't have those sort of funds :-(

Cerf Volant Service has them at:

Nirvana SE standard €259 ~ £205
Nirvana SE standard version skyshark €299 ~ £238
Nirvana SE standard version Icone €359 ~ £285
Nirvana SE standard version Aerostuff €399 ~ £317

The NSE standard has just the LS in P300, the rest in pultrude. For £200+ that's a bloody hard sale to make when a similarly framed Kitehouse Sin will set you back a mere £145 from this very boutique.

£10~20 here or there probably isn't going to put someone off who wants that kite, as opposed to a kite, but £60 really needs some sort of explanation.

Way to many framing options..................

But before someone else points it out, the Cosmic also has 6mm Structil LE's

Although the NSE standard looks pricy against the Sin, it looks competitive against the Cosmic.

On the basis of the sales of Cosmics and Sins from this very store, people are obviously buying on reputation rather than on price, otherwise the Sins would be whizzing their way out of Craig's door.

So who's to say that the NSE is going to sell like hot cakes (or as close to hot cakes as any kite does

)?

Rest assured that the Cosmic that you buy is the same as the Kitehouse flyers use :wink:

Holy moly, that's about $640AUD for the Icone!

I really can't understand why they're not.

The SIN is great value is todays market and a high capable kite.

And whats more ... its doesn't have a Cosmic CTC Dead Spot™

I'll see your Sin and raise you a L1 Genesis, £158, 5PT LS AND P200 LEs.

Those prices are ridiculous. As is the panel-layout... OG Nirvana is much better looking IMHO. This looks like a cheap ripoff of a very nice and distinctive panel...
