### 5/5 — Kite hero

*2025-09-09, version 1.4.2*

Great game but can you let us jump higher like 30 to 40 meters. 
Also the wind should be stronger otherwise soo good

### 5/5 — Saves ££$$$ and replaces lessons completely!

*2022-09-11, version 1.4.2*

Is a guaranteed replacement for spending needless money effort and time learning and putting up with annoying instructors! Learning on your own is so much better. Thanks guys!!

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2021-02-02, version 1.4.2*

Only request I have is to be able to shed in and out the bar and have as you would in real live like jumping to pull the bar in or the water start other than it’s a great game

### 5/5 — Feels like the real thing

*2019-08-28, version 1.3*

Simulation feels very true to the response of the kite but the response feels so true to the real feel. Board riding immediately had me throwing he kite to edge upwind. The response is so true I can feel myself holding in the window and puckering in turns through the power zone. Will be great for visualizing my tacks.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2019-01-07*

Should put unhooked riding in the game

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2018-12-29*

Intuitive controls, great graphics, fun challenges. New to kiting, and this is keeping me motivated on the lousy weather days. Worth the price, for sure. 

Future update wish list: multiplayer (downwind course races and/or point competition in timed events), obstacles to jump over, and of course more challenges to work on and improve!

### 5/5 — Totally worth the few bucks!

*2018-10-20*

I agree that I’d rather be on the water, but when it’s not windy (or not daylight) this makes for a lot of fun! The controls are well thought out you can either use your accelerometer by tilting the phone or touch controls. The simulation of kite flying and board riding is actually surprisingly accurate. I could definitely see this being super helpful for beginner as the tutorial walk you through everything from the win window to jumping. Even as an intermediate kite boarder myself, doing a couple of kite loops in game Is making me a little more confident to try one in real life. Great job guys very impressed!

### 5/5 — Great Simulation

*2018-08-21*

Amazing game!

### 5/5 — Impressed

*2018-03-02, version 1.2*

Really nice graphics, gameplay, and perfect to kill time in winter when it’s too cold to kitesurf in real life or when on the beach waiting for the wind to pick up. Definitely recommend for any kiteboarder

### 5/5 — Solid

*2018-01-12, version 1.2*

Needs some waves and different destinations. Happy to pay for these things but easily the best kite app out there
