Hi guys, i'd like some help, im really in doubt about what kite buy. I wanna buy a new kite and i have three options, the options are Bandit - DOS / REV 2009 / Rebel 2009. I'm a freerider, i like to do sometricks (something like oldschool style), i enjoy waveriding and downwinds. I live in Fortaleza - Ceara - Brazil and i usually go to Cumbuco to kitesurf. So guys i'd like to know your opinion. The kite that i want is a good overall kite. Thanks for the help !!!

I'm going to say Bandit Dos because that's what I'm getting.
And because I reckon that your rising style "a freerider, i like to do sometricks (something like oldschool style), i enjoy waveriding and downwinds" is the same as me, which the demo Bandit Dos I tried really suited.
Other than getting a load of other people like me saying "get this kite, get that kite" etc I would try and test all your choices.

I lean more towards the Rebel 09...why?
-Because i ride the Rebel 07 12m2 and that one works fine, needs replacing though.
-It has one pump, great for lazy people like me.
-Think about getting a 11m2 (weighing in at 90KG) because it is said that it has more grunt then the 07 12m2.
-Great bar with sufficiant safety.
