There has never been a better time to get into the sport of Kiteboarding. The equipment is safer, cheaper and there is a much faster learning curve for beginners and experts wanting to push the limits.
Tahoe kiteboarding has been involved in kiteboarding since 1998. The SLE ( supported leading edge ) revolution that started in 2006 has effected the sport more than any other development. The 2008 SLE kites are superior to the early prototypes and have several advantages for beginners and experts alike.
1) Much greater depower possible with SLE kites. SLE kites are better for beginners, wave riding and gusty wind areas.
2) SLE kites can fly on the main leash almost 95% depowered. This means less water relaunching because you don't drop the kite as often and a faster learning curve for beginners and experts trying handle passes.
3) Multiple full load releases on the kites and leashes has increased the safety factor.
4) The SLE kites are significantly easier to relaunch than the older C Kites designs.
5) SLE kites have a much greater wind range than the C kites. Own 2 SLE kites instead of 4 C-Kites. This saves alot of money and space when traveling.
6) SLE kites make it possible for your first purchase to be your last. The Waroo, Bularoo and Nemesis HP from BEST are suitable for beginners and experts alike.
7) The kites and lines are more durable, have better warranties and are cheaper than in 2002.
