what u dislike about the ride ?
I've only tried the 7m Ride so bigger sizes might be better.
I find that it's too park and ride, it generates very little power when actively flying the kite which means it has a smaller usable wind range (this is safer for beginners though).
I've also had trouble relaunching it, and this is a 7m so we are talking 20+ knots here. The centre section will fill with water and it will just sit there. I also had it invert when recovering from that and I don't like kites that invert easily.

The Ride is a great kite and perfect choice!
Very predictable and easy handling!
