This video was shot using the same kite, a switch nitro 4 10m. The first half is wave footage and the second half some free ride footage. This kite is great for big air and is easy to go big with. It has medium bar pressure so you know where the kite is. It's not a dedicated wave kite but if you aren't lazy you can make it work well. Don't expect it to back up on its own, you have to turn it a little. It is resistant to back stall which makes it forgiving. It does help if you add a knot on the rear lines to put some back line tension on the kite. This helps it back up. It's a great kite and my friend who has the nitro 5 12m loves it.

I have 12m bandit, it is really fast and I love boosting with it.
It's definitely fast enough, I can do powered kiteloop with it on the way up and kite catch me
A lot of my friends use it with surf board. Don't have much experience here but I do turn on waves downlooping kite and I can't find any issues. A couple of my friends did switch to Ozone for waves but they don't boost...
