hey i post under this name and mini V just so u know
i rode this kite for the first time during the jupiter kite invasion last week
there is some videos of it on kite flix
i have now finally met my goal in trying all sizes of the nitro and c02 all the way down from 14 to 6.5
i know thats alot of kites
heres the scoop all the nitros have more hangtime and lift as u would expect of the higher aspect kites. for the handlepasses i am now on all the c02 kites because its a more solid pull while unhooked
so if u want big big jumps do the nitro
if all u want to do is wakestyle c02
waves c02
kiteloops nitro if u wanna get a BIG yank c02 if ur learning
my favorite kite 12 c02
favorite in waves 8 or 10
big air 10 nitro
learning recommendation in light wind all the c02 kites heavier wind try the new element

I'm 72kg and ride a JP 128. The sweet spot for me on the 10m CO2 is around 18 to 20 knots.
This kite is my favourite when the wind is right.
