MWith a price of 750 Euro for a 9 meter kite, the Decathlon Orao kite is probably the cheapest kitesurf kite you can buy in a store. Apparently this seems attractive to kite surfers with a small purse. Nobody will deny that. But at the same time it may feel too good to be true. No one will deny that either. On Wetestkites.com A review has been posted of the Decathlon kite. We are happy to share the key points with you.
Key points review Decathlon kite Orao
- There is nothing wrong with the kite, it is reliable and maybe a bit boring. You could be very happy with that. However, a kite surfer with talent who wants to grow and, for example, want to do more freestyle tricks, could get tired of it fairly quickly.
- The kite is in many places equipped with double ripstop spinaker cloth. This is the minimum in the market at the moment.
- There are competitors with kites in the same price range. For example the Gong Freewave, Takoon Furia and Ventum Xplore. All priced between 750-850 euros. According to the test panel, the Orao is better for a novice kite surfer than the Gong Freewave and Takoon Furia.
- When the wind increases, the Decathlon kite Orao is difficult to depower (debunk) according to the test panel.
- kiteloops with the Decathlon Orao kite is a selling point, but unjustified according to the test panel. It is a freeride kite as Decathlon also indicates.
- Landing jumps is fine.
- The bar pressure is medium to high, so you always feel where the kite is.
The nice thing about the Decathlon Orao is that Decathlon offers insurance for 70 Euro. This is a two-year insurance policy that can be taken out with purchase. The promise is that if the problem cannot be repaired, the Decathlon kite Orao will be replaced.
We would also like to test this cheap kite ourselves. A session with kite surfing. Read the complete review Wetestkites.com from the test panel itself or visit the Decathlon site .
