I have spent a bit of time on the new version of the FL and its slightly different animal to the trigger but shares some of the good traits. Im not a fan of big kites and usually a 12m is the biggest kite i ride, i weight 80kgs and have ridden the FL with my standard 135 board i ride in all conditions.
The FL is a fun kite to ride, its fast for big kite and nice bar pressure so you can feel where the kite is even in light winds. It turns about 40% faster than the X19 spleene and can go in just as light wind. i recently flew it against a guy who had the newest ozone zephyr who was riding a fairly large board compared to mine the FL kept me upwind and doing tricks no worries even on a non lightwind board it was as low as 10kots and as high as 14knts.
things i dont like....
two colour choices.....ugh just do one colour like the trigger!
well its a large kite, it is going to be slower than your 9m.
its called a fat lady, girls give me funny looks when i say i have a date with a fat lady (apparently thats politically incorrect)
takes longer to pump than my 9m
In short the FL is light for an inflatable, its very fast for a large kite with small bar (52cm compared to most others who use a 60cm bar).
i prefer to ride a small kite end of story but if i have not had a kite in a week or two the FL will get you on the water and doing unhooked tricks, jumps and even fun kiteloops.
if being on the water having fun while everyone else is watching i don't want to be right!
