Our eye fell on a review of isurfmag.com. They recently tested the Crazy Fly Hyper. This is a so-called Delta Bow Kite with 5 struts that caught our attention before. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to test it ourselves. That is why we have read this Crazy Fly Hyper review with great interest. In this kitesurf blog the summary of the test report where a 9 meter was tested.
Crazy Fly Hyper review findings
- The kite generates a lot of 'lift' and 'hang time'. This means that you can easily jump high with the kite, but also stay in the air for a long time. According to the test, this makes the kite extremely suitable for 'big air' and 'old school' tricks such as the 'board off' and stylish 'grabs'.
- The kite feels stable and is predictable. During the test the wind was very gusty so that sometimes during a jump the wind was suddenly a lot less strong. The kite caught all this well, which gave confidence to continue kiting and keep making high jumps.
- Down loops were easy to make with the Crazy Fly Hyper so that high jumps could also be landed neatly.
- The Crazy Fly Hyper is not prescribed as an all-rounder due to its high performance properties. He is described as a fairly aggressive kite.
- kiteloops are good to do with the kite. It runs a lot faster than the previous version. This improvement would be due to the new mounting of the steering lines.
- The kite has been improved in its 'low-end'. So in unstable winds, the kite offers enough pressure to absorb this so that you do not quickly stop. To achieve this, apart from the aforementioned new attachment points for the steering lines, the bridle lines have been positioned differently and the kite has been made lighter.
Conclusion review
The Hyper 2021 is considered extremely suitable for kite surfers who want to go 'big air'. So high and long in the air. In addition, the kite is very suitable for kiteloops and 'old school' tricks. Finally, it is good to know that there is a 3 year warranty on the kite and Crazy Fly Hyper kites are made in Europe. Also view the information about the Crazy Fly Hyper 2021 at Crazyflykites.com.
Is this kite also suitable for beginners?
The Crazy Fly Sculp is more focused on freeride and therefore more of a beginner kite. The Hyper is more extreme.
Nice review. I have been sailing with the CrazyFly Hypers since the introduction and with great pleasure.
Fantastic big air kite, which guarantees a lot of airtime.
