Frequently asked questions about the test material Who should consider the Eleveight Stratos+ as a test kite? + For kitesurfers who want to specifically invest in big air, kiteloops and hangtime without paying the full new price. The Stratos+ is not a beginner kite. It truly shines with riders who have solid kite handling skills and know how to safely use a high-performance big air kite. As a demo kite, you get exactly this performance at a significantly lower price. From what skill level do you recommend the Eleveight Stratos+ as a demo kite? + Eleveight explicitly recommends the Stratos+ for experienced kitesurfers. This also applies to the demo kite: The kite&#039;s performance remains unchanged, regardless of whether it&#039;s in condition A, B, or C. Those who actively aim for kiteloops and can assess their equipment will find this a great entry point into serious big air kiting. Which size of Eleveight Stratos+ is suitable for my wind range? Eleveight specifies the following wind ranges: 6 m\u00b2 for 20 to 40+ knots, 7 m\u00b2 for 18 to 37 knots, 8 m\u00b2 for 17 to 35 knots, 9 m\u00b2 for 15 to 33 knots, 10 m\u00b2 for 13 to 30 knots, 12 m\u00b2 for 11 to 26 knots. The final choice depends not only on the wind but also on your rider&#039;s weight and riding style. If you have any questions about size selection, you can contact us directly via the KITE BUDDY chat. How does the warranty work in case of damage? The 18-month dealer warranty is valid from the date of purchase. In the event of a defect within this period, please contact KITE BUDDY directly. We will review the case and arrange for repair or replacement in accordance with legal requirements. The usual exclusions apply: wear and tear from use and rider accidents are not covered under warranty. Can I return the test kite if it does not meet my expectations?
