Product Review, RRD -

SUMMARY: 

There are two sides to the Religion for different riders. Because the low end and power generation is good, lighter or strapless riders can enjoy getting on a small kite early while strapped or bigger riders can take advantage of the strong pull and power that the Religion is capable of at its top end. There are a lot of soft and / or super forward flying kites on the market. The Religion is still treading its own path, is incredibly strong and can pretty much be what you want it to be if you size it right. 

KW LIKED: 

Improved response, a lighter bar impulse and super-tough build quality.

CORONA, COVID-19, VIRUS -

Stay safe, keep following directives from your national health authority, and watch some kite movies inside your house!  Let's do our part with the COVID-19 health crisis.

We are still making sales through our online store and continue to ship kiteboard equipment using the major shipping providers (UPS, FEDEX, Canada Post, Canpar, etc.).  However, we do not have control over possible shipping delays incurred by our shipment providers.  For local deliveries, we are taking the extra precaution of only dropping-off packages at pre-determined locations to avoid those personal kiter-to-kiter contacts.
