So if I know someone who sells kites then that's my agenda? Huh!! Strange way of thinking but to answer I must say yes. But then so will 95% of this forum. We all have agendas I guess. Do I sell kites? No. I don't like that side of kiting as you can see the reaction of my post, my opinion of this kite is beat down by dealers. Sorry if the kite doesn't sell itself.aprok wrote:Uncleneil, what kites do you sell? Or your friends do?

I got to demo one before and hated it. The stopper sucks and the kite loves to jellyfish. It makes the bar pulsate.k2ski3 wrote:On a 42cm wide board I can ride downwind in 8-9 knots on the 12m & head upwind around 10-11knots. However, I have a lot of lightwind practice and fly the kite very aggressively to get 8-9knots.
I haven't really found the top end. I have been comfortable with the kite in gusts up to 30knots, but prefer the 9m kite in those conditions since it is a jumping machine and my favorite of the 7,9,12, & 15.
All my feedback is on 1:1 bar setup.
The kite has good construction and reinforcements in the right spots on the leading edge. I have been using them as school kites all summer and my only problem has been pin-hole leaks in the leading edge from students crashing them hard in the dune grass with sharp growth shoots.
