I loved this kite! After an uncomfortable demo of a Thruster 10 I was not convinced these were the kites for me, but was very surprised with the 12. Kite had huge range and flew great both underpowered and overpowered. The jumps were amazing and felt so comfortable and floaty compared to other kites. Bar was great and there was little to no bar pressure. Just enough to tell where the kite was at all times.
I highly recommend demo'ing one!
