IMO, most kites today work. Kitesurfing is about having fun!! Who cares if one kite turns like a Mac truck and another one turns like a tree sloth and oh yea this kite is a 19M that turns like a 9M!! One bar is soft and one doesn't mess up your manicure!! If u weigh 240lbs vs 104 1/2 lbs, then If u have a Lick of sense put up a big or small kite. Is that such a hard decision?

Ok, back on topic,

Availlable in what sizes ??

I'm not sure about release but I got the impression that is exactly what it is for. I did not try it unhooked but will try if / when I get a chance again. I did ride it with boots tho very fun and controllable

Know how to put a smile on a mans face!! Was going to order an epic renegade 13 have to hold off now! Your talking about the fly obviously not the 12m ride?!

Might have to come for a visit when holidaying in August

Yes this is definitely not the ride 12. The Fly is bigger. The reason I say it is made for freestyle / free ride is the way it handles..it is as far away from the charger as it can be. I was out in glassy water, self launch easy. First I ride the surfboard strapless with it making a few runs down the line ,but light wind on shore not always the best wave riding conditions if you have a kite with you..but still fun. Mostly because there was power in the kite. It never fell from the sky which is a really good sign one of the spots where I ride where light wind usually means a lot of time in the water...

...then i figured well hell it feels like it has power so why not try the TT...so I did. My usual forward backward rolls with loops transitions worked like a charm. It had quite a bit of upwards pull and it provided plenty of time in the air. I don't really have enough time to say much about the wind range...I was alone out there.

Now I've ridden both the 10 and 12 Ride too, but I really did not have enough time on the 12 to say anything intelligent about it. I did not set the Ride and Fly side by side so I guess so far what i can say about similarities is that the Fly pulls harder, and that both have 2 struts.

The 10 I had more time on. Pulls pretty hard. The jumps took me by surprise, got some real lift. Sure got some power to it. I really want to try the 8 too. The 10 I can see being a good kite for down the line riding. I'm pretty psyched to get more time on it tho.

Basic anthropomorphism. How natural is a guy without a center strut?

lol so true.

Three-wheeled cars never really caught on either....

Muito bom......testado e aprovado em ventos fracos.
