Narrowing it down

[Travellingkiter]

Time to change my kites........

Have 2009 Helix 9 + 12

Thinking of keeping the 12, not used much n ok as light wind. Prob put myself in the freeride posse, ride unhooked and willing to try more wake........love the helix n looking for a hybrid sle/c kite really.

Tried the Obsession mk4, good ride.......still wanna try RPM n perhaps the C4. Tho am well chuffed with the Naish n have been since starting, both helix I have had (2007 & 2009) stitching failed on the leading edge, even on the 2009 which I never put away wet! Kinda put me off, I live on the coast here in uk, kite all year round (out the other day) so even with heavy usage and the care I took with the gear I wonder if it's a Naish thing? Perhaps anyone else has views? Looking for a 7 & 9 or equivalent, am 75kg......

Cheers guys..........
