Ok Some of you may have read my review on the Vampir range - all of that stands - it IS a seriously NICE kite.
HOWEVER
Libre have surpassed themselves with the Vampir Race. Its the same but better.
Still wont fly out of the window and catch you out but the Extra Power and better upwind ability is amazing.
We put the 4m Vampir (Mine) up against a 4.4 Race version. (I was flying the Race) and I beat an equally experienced pilot hands down - AND got back to the mark when he couldnt - Even in the dirty gusty wind we had - I pointed much further upwind.
This is a full on Race Kite with out all of the instability issues. Libre claim 90% of the power of the Bora - which isnt suprising when you directly compare the two - they do Look very Similar. Different materials and I suspect a differing Bridle set up make the Vampir Race a Race kite on a budget.
Find me on a beach - you are welcome to try 😄
