Best Kiteboarding Armada
The Armada has been in the Best Kiteboarding line-up for a long time now, this year sees it reach its fifth birthday. Franz Schitzhofer has been shaping the twin tip line up for Best for a while now and he’s a renowned twin tip shaper with years and years of experience. For 2014 the Armada gets a little more rocker...
Best Kiteboarding Cabo
The Best Cabo is a wave specific kite that has been in the line up for a few years now. Spearheaded by the likes of Sebastian Ribeiro who just came third on the KSP World Tour and Pedro Henrique the Cabo certainly has some heavy weight hitters behind it. I also happen to know that the designer Peter Stiewe is...
Best Kiteboarding Kahoona+
Now in its 6th generation, the Best Kahoona+ has gone through many tweaks and improvements for 2014. The quad strut, delta platform design is an all-round kite for any skill level, combine this with solid bomb-proof construction and you are getting great value for money.

Best Kiteboarding Spark Plug V2
The Spark Plug was launched last year as a new all round freeride model to the Best Kiteboarding twin tip line up. The new model for this year has undergone some tweaks and now builds on what was a very popular model last year. The goal for this year was to reduce the weight and to improve the ride in...
Best Kiteboarding TS
The TS from Best has been in their line up for some time now, over the years it has evolved to become the kite that it is today. Based around an open C-shape platform it is a high performance kite that can handle anything you throw at it. The 9m we have here is a 5 strut design, although it...
Best Kiteboarding Breeze
Our Test Editor summed it up quite nicely when this arrived “Have they got a giant working at the Best factory?”. Perhaps we should have explained to him that we were testing light wind machines before it arrived. The Breeze is HUGE! At 45.5cm wide it is the widest board in the test, designed for lightwinds it uses that extra...
Best Kiteboarding Capo
The Cabo is a new kite from Best Kiteboarding for this year, aimed at the wave riders out there it is being used by their ever-growing pro wave team to great effect on the KSP World Tour. It comes built to the exacting standards we have become accustomed to with Best in the last few years. One of the main...
Best Kiteboarding GP
The Best GP is the kite that Youri Zoon and Lewis Crathern are using this year, which says a lot about its pedigree. It’s a 5 line C-Style kite aimed at the freestyle rider looking for the ultimate in performance. As such Best looked to build this kite tough, so it could withstand the harshest of beatings dolled out by...
Best Kiteboarding Kahoona
Version 5 of the popular Kahoona kite makes it the longest running kite in their current line up, and like the ever popular Waroo before it, it has plenty of fans around the world. The + means the kite is equipped with the EZ Pump single point inflation system so you can spend less time on the beach and more...

Best Kiteboarding GP
The GP from Best is a totally new kite for 2012 and it fills the hole left by the Yarga when it departed the range some time ago. Like most brands Best concentrated their efforts towards kites with bridles and the popular Yarga got left by the way side. But with a strong freestyle team rider focus, and with boards...
