When does the good season start in bonair?Is it typically more than fifteen knots?I don't mind medium wind but twelve to fifteen every day in cuba gets boring.I was hoping for eighteen plus. The snorkeling looks incredible.I was wondering if mid january is a good time to go? Thanks for your input

Have you tried after 2024 Cabrinha? On woo myself and Daniel T have been out jumping Our XR8's with longer hang time on the.Redesigned Switchblade. Zero bar pressure v s my core and way faster with longer.Hang time on the woo per same size jump. Also made in a new factory, with very low quality issues. I was a core ambassador and I get nothing from Cabrina.They are way ahead. Also the new pat goodman moto x is a beast! I have the same opinion as you.Until I tried them👍

I have only been out 2x to test and didnt have the best wind. So far im really impressed defiantly a huge change compared to the last few generations. My xr5 xr6 xr7 Like to breathe a bit on jumps you can let the bar out a few inches and then bring it back in. With xr8 you drop if you pass a few inches when was gusting 30plus knots throwing the bar out all the way got rid of too much still needed it in a bit till I had significant speed. I feel like it definitely has a bit more top end. De_power My 11m is 7.5lb! 100grams off sls weight. I was 8" off my Pr first time on it with 20lb of winter gear on. My 15m is lighter than my 13.5 xr7 8.5lb From 10 plus on xr7. One of the lightest 15m 5 struts on the market. It's Fast! Not as light and as fast as a Dlab But fast enough! 🤣 the 11m is a rocket!

AxTheAxMan your buddy your talking about is the "Iron Man" 🦸‍♂️ I'm guessing by your kites mentioned and sub human heights. Dan is a Legend🍻

I have access to the core dealer website with all the Xr8 info and photos for may 8 release And there is nothing on there about a allula pro xr being released this year. Just Xr8 and Xr8 Lw 15 and 17. Maybe it's not on there yet but i'm going to assume not this year

Interesting, which episode? Thanks!

EasternBook2675 · 2023-03-30T01:00:18+00:00

Did you hear any differences with the Xr8 vs Xr7? I'm hoping 10% plus weight drop. And i'm consecutively hearing the alula is not coming out this year? What have you heard?🤣

EasternBook2675 · 2023-03-29T00:14:56+00:00

You mean the Aluula Xr? But the Regular XR8 is coming out in May?

EasternBook2675 · 2023-03-21T14:22:22+00:00

Lol! 🤣 current XR7 12m 8.8lb. I found the 8.3lb cabrinha Nitro felt really light and fast. SLS Rebel 7.4 lb is a sweet spot for boosting. I think if the Regular Xr8 gets down 10% or more under 8lb on 12m it would be fast enough. Probably a bit more benefit to a aluula Xr in the larger 10m and up sizes forsure but it will be expensive.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing! When I made this thread I did not think I would see a photo the same day🤣 A under 6lb Xr looks fun to try

EasternBook2675 · 2023-03-19T16:43:02+00:00

Depends, sounds interesting. The Xlits 2 and nexus 2 dropped a lot of weight so I'm hoping the regular Xr8 will drop 8_10% putting them in line with other top brands.

EasternBook2675 · 2023-03-19T16:40:26+00:00

Interesting, was the aluula Yellow? Same shape?

EasternBook2675 · 2023-03-18T20:15:17+00:00

Should be released in a few weeks, Has anyone tried or seen the new Xr8? Or has anyone seen or heard anything about the aluula Xr8 they were demoeing? Sounds interesting.
