I did and realy loved it. tried them 5 times by now. sizes 13 and 11.
i tried the 13 from 12 on a directional and with the tt up to 24 k .
the 11 from 15 - 28 .
what i like: the turns are fast and smooth,very easy to waveride with the kite. compare to my slingshot fule ,the power managment while,
turning and kite looping on the wave, is much much better.
good airtime with avarage power on the kite.feel very safe in overpower.
no pressure on the bar. it is a c shape with a lot of depower.
this kites were test kites. I wegiht 65 kg. I ordered 13 and 9 of them (although i didn't
try the 9- I think I can ride the 9 from 18-19 k).
it is not a high jumper kite. i think that in low to medium power on the kite, the M6,R6 will jump higher.
on overpower condition it felt the same.
hope i helped

I tried the tribal 11.
Kite is good, good turning ability, good power (not the most powerful kite), but in the same way, I prefered the impact.
I usually ride with flat kites but what I was scared about the tribal depower ability. Kite doesn't depower enough for me (too used with falt kites now!).
To summarize, this kite is a good C shape kite (I prefered it to a north rhino 6), but depower is not enough for me.
