So Switch has just announced the imminent release of the next generation Element. Since I got my 11m and 15m version 1 Elements a little over a year ago, this has become my go-to kite for land and water based riding.
Especially forgiving in the gusty Great Lakes region, and with superb relaunch capability, the Element has impressed. My only gripe about the version 1 is the low end, particular throughout the turning circle of the kite when sining from the bottom up.
That said, Switch says they've addressed the low end somewhat on the version 2, and kept the best characteristics of the first version that I, and other Element riders, enjoy.
Can't wait to try one! In the meantime, if anyone wants to demo a version 1 Element, or Method or Nitro, shoot me an email: norriegga@gmail.com
Steve
