In 2012 I decided to take a break on the competitions and I start looking for change my life style, as my wife kitesurfs too we decide to spend more time in our hometown with our son and enjoy more Floripa that is an island in south of Brazil, by this transection moment, I met STAR kitboarding and in the first section with the TAINA V1 I got impressed and surprised how good a small brand kite could be!
Now with big improvements on the TAINA and The ELITE bar STAR kiteboarding keep surprising , and is offering a very similar product to that any other brand offers, so if you are looking for a great kite for waveriding you should try it. This kite has an amazing drift, stability and make fast turns. That why I still riding on it! Thanks STAR for making me part of this history!
