EN since all the conditions:
Regardless of whether you kite on land, snow or water, it will be a complete pleasure. For advanced users who want to further the possibilities of setting WAC and brakes, advised the purchase of the model PSYCHO2 that: it requires less power to the controls, has long hangtime and shade for a more efficient – high performance tendons.
