high or low aspect for a small kite?

[murdoc]

to the jumps:
whenever i get high with the small dude (6.3 AB) ,
i get so much respect, i just hang from the bar. looking scared and am totally concentrated on not steering the kite wrong and not wetting myself

one wrong steering impulse and you'll perform like the enterprise goin' on warp 9 ... next thing to know your chest hitting the water (that feels similar to solid concrete)

i had a few of these, one time i was lucky i was forced to wear helmet and protection vest, one time i was uncertain if a rib was broken.

of course, the faster the higher you can boost.
If you want big air, the Skoop will be you toy!

I tried the Skoop 6.5 in Cabarete this season, back-to-back with the Mach-1 9.1 and the X2 10. The Skoop is a jumping machine, although any of the above kites will take you high and fast. I don't know much about the Akooba.

* the akooba i guess is very similar to the free air i got

I had one of my best days ever on a Toro 8 in 30 mph (avg). The Toro is a great high-wind kite. Handles gusts with ease. That same day I took a Rhino1 6.2 for a ride and had a blast. Huge jumps! That thing screams across the sky like a 2m foil trainer! I also watched my buddy get slammed by it that day because of the speed.
