I'm pretty partial to the Eclipse Thruster. I used to ride 07 Waroos but went to the Thrusters now. The relaunch is much easier. Gotta love that since you drop the kite a lot when trying new moves. It also turns a LOT faster. It doesn't have quite as much depower as the Waroo but that hasn't been much of an issue to me. It just teaches me to ride more powered and when your unhooked it's fully powered anyways. Give it a ride and see how you like it.

Once again, bows are not for freestyle. Fuel or Torch bottom line.

bow is perfect for freestyle. They have so much ease of use aswell.
In riding SB2, its a great bowkite for unhooked tricks, no backstall, no need for pulling depowerstrap before unhooking the bar.
Try one and you will know

Welcome to "pimping world" !
I dont think you'll be ANY wiser with the responses you are gonna get here, honestly.
Most brands offer something like what you seek - or at least if you have 2 or 3 brands to choose from, you can easily get what you want.
So I would look more into what your local community uses and what your local dealers can do for you
IMO much more important
Here, you'll only find one pimping thread after another - going on in an endless stream
Kindly, Peter Frank

Once again try da GK Trix. It is a Semi-Supported Leading Edge. Very small briddle with lotts of grunt. Da first of its kind with an adjustable bar pressure to set for your riding stylie. Others WILL be following ONCE AGAIN!!!
Good Luck,Hyde
PS Flat-Bows do suck for wake/free style. Da Trix is not a bow/flat kite,but has all da benefits of bow & C kite. Mix da Trix with a DC Thug and holy fashizalls youll have a dope @ss set-up!!!!!!!!

A few of our local freestyle and wakestyle riders where going back to C:s from bows since they felt "bows are not for freestyle" after using them a year.
They just assumed that the instincts are bows as well since they have the same range. I got them to hold of ordering the C-kites for one weekend and sent a couple of Instincts with them on a roadtrip. It was a lucky guess that they would like them, for both of us. They got the best of both worlds, C-kite where its needed, unhooked riding, barfeel, turning. And bow type range and gust-handeling where its wanted. And I got to sell a few more
Anyway, put one on your testlist. Its worth wile.
Some of our wakestyle guys. (Jesper and Niklas, they rock and are super nice)
