the 2011 is an 18.

Still flying it. The best kite I ever had! And the perfect Airstyle kite for riders with more weight and in lighter to moderate winds.

Yes, but it is more race than airstyle.
Still works ok though, but does not beat the 2011 18

is that the same kite since 2011? or have you replaced it several times?

I would have thought you would have well and truely worn your kites out within a year.

PS I also think kites aren't getting better and better these days. Just getting tweaked for more specialist riding. my 2011 c4 way better than the 2013 c4 for my riding!.. sigh!

Same model, always new kites.

I bought several in blow outs...this is my 5th now...brand new.
And one more brand new at home.

The low end of the Fuse is not like the Dyno 2011. Need to test in higher winds now.

I assume the Fuse therefore has a higher top end. Maybe it will replace my 16...

But I am trying to convince North to do the Dyno 18 again. It is just such a good kite.
And if they don't do it, I will ask them to make a special Airstyle Kite and I will sell them!
Plus the North bar with Microloop!
I am sure I can sell several !!!
