The Max Flow inflation valve on Liquid Force kites is amazingly fast and easy. There is hardly any resistance until the last 10 or so strokes. I imagine that the Epic one will be good as well. It is a little smaller so it will probably be a little slower.

Switch Kites has large inflation port and very fast deflation. It's nice... a lot easier than the small nipple ones on previous kites i've had.

The Switch valve works great, used it for a year or so, The Liquid Force valve is the best I have used so far, be real hard to go back the the hold style.

Agree, I don't understand why some kites haven't picked it up. Patents? Confused

LF valve is from an inflatable furniture guy. I heard they hooked him up with a kite to get exclusive rights to his valve! Every other valve on the market has valve envy.
