Yeah,
it's a kite that works well in the low to mid range but when you're really lit, that's when it is a weapon.
I haven't had it out in the top end yet, can't wait to try it though!

I just changed my Enduro 8m to the new Edge V9 8m.
Had my first session yesterday. The wind was about +20knots.
First impression is that it feels like the Enduro on steroids.
It has almost the same bar pressure and turning speed but a hole lot more boost. It has slightly better low-end and upwind performance.
It loops very well with a good pull when you go low in the loops.
It felt very stable even in the gusts. No bending when you sent it hard. Got 12.2m on the Woo and felt like it was on the lower side off the windrange.
This we'll be my new do it all kite. Feels like it will perform good in waves as well
Super stoked!
If the wind is right I'll do a video on Wednesday with boosting and looping.

Had a blast today on the Edge V9 8m.
Boosting and looping.
Loops very nice with a good pull.

23m Lines? Think the 9m will loop fine as well?

I use 25m lines.
If you want to loop BIG with the 9m I would choose 50-55cm bar and 20-23m lines.
The 8m loops super smooth with good extra lift when you need it. If you want a hard jank just loop it slower and lower
.
Still waiting for a +30kn session to test it's limits.

Although we know it jumps very well on the high end, is the edge v9 still a good option for light wind foiling like the v8 is?

Thanks man!
If the 9m loops so well, think i still need an Enduro for loops?
