Introduction:

These are the long awaited PKD Busters, people have asked about them, pleaded about them, and now that we are only a short time away from the release of the larger sizes and the 0.7m heres a review for you:

Packaging, Style + Construction:

The Packaging with the Busters is no-where near revolutionary, but a simple small bag, In the air the Busters shine out, as soon as you take them out the bag they ooze quality and look very nice, the underside is white and the back is a solid colour, one for each size , the profile on these is very nice, a smooth curve which looks nice. The construction quality is very high, not only for the price but in general, the bridles also have 4 knots for adjustment of the AoA altering its flight characteristics.

Jumping:

Jumping with the Busters is possible, but you do need quite a lot of wind to manage it, the Busters will almost never luff out on you, i say almost, as I've never seen one luff yet! But I've got to cover my back as well,

KiteATB’ing:

The Busters are going to absolutly rock the more beginner side of KiteATB'ing due to their low cost, their very good stability as well as the very strong and solid pull you can get from these things. As you get moving you speed up fast and you can feel hardly any strain on your arms.

Final Summary:

Recently the Busters have been tried on a 4 line bar, they suit it as if it were made for it. I must say these are one of the better kites on the market aimed at the beginner area, If your looking for a good way to start the sport then I would suggest a Buster.
