Learning to Kitefoil... The risk is worth the reward.. loving the learning journey! Episode 9 already... =D -
Most all are based on the same wing shape but there are differences that stand out. The B-series is probably the most versatile kite Rev Made. It included a whole extra frame and different venting options. When Rev patent expired, they realized there was still a patent on their springs so every kite from Rev was suddenly equipped with springs. Now, Other manufacturers brought different things to the table for the most part based on feedback that Rev all but ignored over the years. Bazzer started lashing the uprights solidly locking them to the leading edge with none of the play of the bungee attachments of the classic Rev design. He also adjusted Venting options and placements to meet his flying preferences. He also added heat shrink to some bridle points to mask knots and reduce hang points. OSK took it a step further by implementing T-Connectors and eliminating the screen along the LE and using holes instead. They also added Wear strips which were a very common add on for Revs over the years. John (Kite Forge) listened to a bunch of feedback over the years including a lot of his own. He had a bit of a side bar going with reinforcements and wear strips. They went down the road of R&D completely based on his experience and came up with the Djinn.. There are many of the same features that were added to other kites over the years. They also added Integrated Wear Strips, LE Reinforcement Tabs, Slight shape changes to help with sail stability, and a bridle that seems to be unique among all the offerings. The Printed offerings bring pattern options that no one else can. I haven't flown a Detox but I do have a few printed sails that fly quite nicely. What follows is my opinion only. IMO what each of these options brings to the table. Bazzer locked the uprights and set development on the path for "T" connectors. OSK, stepped up the QC game and brought even lighter sail materials to the game while at least initially dropping the price point for a quality sail. John and Kite Forge stepped up with some great stability changes and brought a great new bridle innovation to the table. -

I would say that even as a beginner / less frequent flyer you notice the direct change B Series - Djinn - Detox - B Series immediately. Especially when you play with different line lengths. But the most obvious difference is the immediate, clear leap in quality in the craftsmanship. Every time I set up my Djinn, for example, I am delighted by the small details (such as the end caps or the bridle). All my B Pro by Bazzer had to be restored in the meantime (LE, gauze). -
I mostly fly duals but I fly my vented or mid vent B Series when the wind is a little stronger than I like. I'm not great at precision but I'm working at it. I DO like the B series but I'm wondering if the newer quads have an advantage over the older ones. I like the look of the Djinn and the Los Hermanos but I'm wondering how differently they would fly.
