Wainman Hawaii hooked it up with a 12m Boss. For the last 4-5 months I have been spitting my time between the Boss and the Havoc. I really enjoy riding the Boss. It’s a solid kite. It’s fat and short and pulls hard. The bar pressure is lightly more than the Havoc. The kite its self is just simple, not a lot going on so not a lot that can break.
I felt that the Boss depowered its self faster after you drop the bar than the havoc. It was easy to relaunch. The bridals are much simpler than the Havoc’s. I didn’t like the bar quite as much as the Havocs. The Boss’s bar has extensions on it. I took them off for a couple ocean sessions and really enjoyed the kite on short lines. I really enjoy having this kite in my quiver.
This is the review of my gear from the 2008 season. These are just my two cents about the gear I have ridden and the experiences I had with it.
