I have a Takoon Nova2 12m which I'll be hanging onto for a bit longer and am looking for a smaller kite to complement it.
I have found a SB3 8m and wonder if it would fit okay under my Nova2 12m? After reading about the SB3 having a good deal of bottom end I wonder if it is the appropriate kite for my weight of 65kg.
I am an intermediate kiter just getting into jumping. As there are not a lot of second hand kites in my area around the 7-8m size I can't be too picky.
Opinions much welcome.
8m Switchblade3 as second kite under Takoon Nova2 12m?

SB3 is a very nice kite, a lot of bar pressure but I like it because you can feel where the kite is without looking at it. They are also very stable in high winds and there is a lot depower. Hope you have long arms because the bar really slides away from you on the pre-2011 kites. I have the same setup as you, 12 and 8m and I would recommend you get a 3 kite quickver 7 - 10 - 13.
