I have a 12 ride and it turns slower than my 2011 12m park. Probably the same speed as my 14m helix. I do love how it wants to stay in the air though. Even when the lines go slack it corrects itself and stays in the air. Haven't jumped it yet though (only rode it in ocean on directional so far).

its good? What type of riding do your do? I've used mine mostly for waves, the kites are simple and easy to use. Good range...no bad habits as far as I have experienced.
I have not had them go side by side with the parks. I do expect the Ride to have some more power..dunno tho.

I started to ride strapless, and like it a lot.
also like boosting with my twintip when the wind is "on".
so lets say freeride and starting to wave.
i'am looking at the ride and the park, probaply best to trie them both, but its always good to
hear/read what the experiences of other riders are.

Exactly. I have not yet tried the parks but feels the rides are providing killer fun. I do take out a TT on occation too.

Hey Tony,
I talked with a friend today that has the kite. She rides a surfboard, but are by no means charging huge surf. She loves the kite, feels it is very light and has a lot of power. Her other / previous kites are parks and bolts. She wants to get at least the 9 now, and feel it is time to retire her Bolt 16.
