Nirvana (3-point static bridle)
The Nirvana is and feels smaller than the other team kites in this test. Its trickability is surpassed by none and despite its traceability, it’s also surprisingly stable and predictable in the precision department. However, we found it lacking that little extra to be the ultimate 6 man team kite.

Test pilot comments

- Lacks a little in the ”stall” department
- VERY Trickable (even with the 3pt static bridle)
- Feels a little on the fast side for a 6.man team ???
