cheers,

I got a very good offer on Religion 2015s but I am unfortunately not able to test them before buying due to my location =(

Therefore, has anyone tested the kites, how are they for onshore riding, and especially, do they have light bar pressure as my shoulder needs one with low bar forces and also smooth power developer. Big bonus is if the kite can be looped with minimal power output.

All for strapless riding.

thanks!

Who even sells rrd in Aus?
It's a shame the brand has no face in Australia...

WASSUP in Chelsea Vic are the official distributors. I think there is another one in WA.

But I agree with you. It's a very good kite and poorly marketted. I own both an old Type9 and the Religion 2009 and they are very good, stable, fast kites. I especially like the middle strut zip concept to give the kite an extra inch or two of aspect ratio for when the wind dies off and you want a little more air time.

It does have a presence here Boye, SOS South Freo have been the distributors for at least 15 years.
I don't think they are sold locally in your neck of the woods though.

I have only had a couple of goes on my 7 and 9 Religions, so do not want to review just yet.
Having said that, first impressions are very good.

Have got my last 2 quivers of religions from WASSUP in Chelsea. The bloke I dealt with (Andy) was great. I found the 2014 10.5 religion a big improvement from the 10 metre 2013. My wife currently on the RRD visions and no complaints.
Well made kites.
