The 2013 Best Kahoona V5 is a 4-strut medium aspect kite. Our test Kahoona was the standard version meaning that it lacked a single-point inflation system.

Now in their third revisions, both the Best Kahoona and Nemesis HP kites have gone through significant design and performance changes over the years. Best Kiteboarding’s designer, Peter Stiewe, answered our questions about these two new kites.

Lia Feriancek from Best Kiteboarding takes The Kiteboarder Magazine through the 2011 Best line of kites, including the new Taboo.

New for 2011, Best is introducing the Taboo, a high performance kite to replace and surpass all previous Nemesis designs.

Placed anywhere along the edge of the window, the Kahoona required minimal attention to fly and showed no signs of stalling.

The stability of the kite is consistent and predictable with its lower aspect ratio. We didn’t notice if the lack of a center strut helping the stability of the kite but that feature did stand out on the Kahoona.
