Hey, I tried 10m 50/50 once recently in gusty winds about 25kts, in chop, so I can give you a quick

idea.

The kite was very aggressive and quick, I did not expect it to be this fast. Took me a couple of

minutes to get used to it, as it generated a lot of power when moving it.

Very direct feel, short bridle with no pulleys. The shape was very close to a true C.

Very high on jumps. A serious kite, not a school kite for sure.

12m might be great too.

If it anything like a blade prime, which it looks very similar to, and is designed by the same person, then it should be a great kite.

Looking at Blade´s website both kites seems totally different in bridle, shape and i think the Blade has pulleys while the fifty only has a front bridle. And i read about Nobile having its own designer since 2 years ago

more reviews on this new kite?

The ozone and the 50 50 have very similar bridles without pullies and connections to the centre of the LE, the blade has less bridle (3 attachment points) The over all shape of the 50 and the prime look very similar the 2nd struts on the 50 are closer to the wing tips, The arc on the c4 is perhaps more open?
Anyway I love this direction of kite design and would be keen on demoing a 50 if one is available in the uk to see if it can temps me away from my primes, which is a lot to ask!
