I would say Ozone C4:
- good in the loops
- much power in the loops
- direct steering (no pulleys)
- it's a fast kite and good in the waves
- the parked power is also good

Fone Bandit6
It's an amazing all arounder.
If you get to demo one you'll replace your other kites as well

I'm looking for a fun ~10m kite that fits between my 2010 8m RPM and 2011 12m OR Rise. I'm 82kg (180lbs).
Main criteria:
- Should loop nicely (similar to RPM or better)
- For tricks that need to be finished off with a loop (darkslide or handplant kiteloop backroll), the kite should generate good power in this kind of late loop to finish the trick (my 12m Rise fails at this)
- Should perform decent in waves (strapless wave usage about 25%, rest is twin tip in choppy to flat water conditions)
- Unhooked: Decent unhooked performance for simple tricks is a plus, I don't care about things like line slack (don't attempt handle passes)
- I prefer it if the kite has power on demand when parked versus having to fly it actively to generate power
- Prefer direct steering without too much delay
Any recommendations?

You might want to read hese reviews coming from the seabreeze forum
http://www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kite ... se/?page=2
One guy was saying :
"All in all for a wave kite this kite just got better . Please try and I'd like to see your thoughts . 10 years of buying every sling shot out there and I'm never going back , this kite seems like an advanced rpm with added range at both ends , try and enjoy .
The Bandits 6 are really nice kites; I really love them: so smooth you can kite for hours and hours.
