This board is part of my personal quiver.  I was hesitant at first to get this board as the price tag was a little high.  Well, after the first few seconds riding this board you realize it was money well spent.  My first session on this board was in 40 mph side shore winds with 6′ ocean swell.  The boards stiffness handled the chop so well i felt like it was just slicing through it.  I was able to load up the edge real well and boost solid airs.  The landings were soft and i noticed that my landings did not have to be perfect due to the turned up tip and tail.  The turned up tips also help avoid any possibel face spray.  Some boards i have ridden just slam the water off the tips into my face, not this board.  Board is very light weight and the foot pads are real comfortable and easy to adjust on the fly.  Want to demo this board?  Just give us a ring and you can try the board for yourself and see how amazing it is.

I have been luckily enough to ride so many boards and I have to say, this board is incredible.  It is a dedicated lightwind board; however, i have ridden it in all conditions.  Lightwind, big ocean chop, flat water, etc. and this board really shines.  Even though it is a big wide flat board, you can barely notice it on your feet.  The board actually feels as nimble as my 135 Airush Protoy (also a sick board).  I was comfortable jumping with this and landing with ease.  If you are looking for a board to complement your smaller twintip this is the one.  Priced right and comes complete wtih really comfortable foot straps and pads.  Feel free to give us a call, we are here to help answer any questions you may have.

We have been flying the RRD Obsession for a few months now and are really stoked on this kite.  Awesome big easy to fit kite in bag, super fast and easy one pump kite with fast complete kite deflate.  You dont have to sit there for 20 minutes pushing air out of each strut before packing it away, it deflates super fast.  Solid build construction all around.  Bar is nice and clean with a fast easy to activate chicken release with super fast reload.  I personally like the fast turning and responsiveness of this kite.  It reacts like a C kite but has so many SLE safety features.  No hassle in choosing which knot to attach your lines to as there are no choices; i like the simplicity of that.  Easy relaunch in the water just by slightly pulling an outside line.  I have executed some huge loafty jumps on this kite and it find it kite loops pretty fast but slow enough that it gets somewhat deep in the window for that amazing power pull.  All around a great kite with TONS of low end grunt and good upper wind range.  This is a solid choice for intermediate to advanced riders.

The 2009 11M F-ONE REVOLT as tested by Paul, Cabarete, Dominican Republic.

PROS
* The Revolt has really killer graphics on the kite.
* I really like the kite bag too, it’s functional and cool looking.
* The build quality all around seems tough and durable.
* The bar is simple and comfortable.
* Kite line setup is quick and easy because there are only three lines for half your walk from bar to kite.
* The kite is stable and wants to fly.
* The Revolt is super easy to water re-launch, even when crashed directly downwind. Pulling on one outside line immediately brings the kite to the edge of the wind window where it waits for you to sheet out and fly it upward.
* The design resists a lot of stalling, even when the lines go slack as you pass underneath the kite.
* Powering and depowering the kite is done with one simple pulling motion on the straps.
* The Revolt has an impressive wind range with plenty of power on tap.
* The center line is sheathed as it comes through the bar, thus eliminating a lot of rubbing and chafing on your hands.
* Hang time and jump height is huge, impressive and fun.
* The Revolt feels comfortable, stable and safe.

CONS
* The outside/back line steering connections at the kite are super secure feeling with plastic stopper balls, while those of the front/depower lines seem insecure without the stoppers. This is also the same with the Bandit Dos.
* The power and depower straps seem a bit too far out of reach.
But, worst of all……
* People will want to steal your kite because it’s so fun to fly.
* You may want to sell every other kite you own and buy an F1 instead.
