My 8m Notus Air rocks in the surf.
Is all I need for my foiling and when overpowered for foiling it has worked a treat for me with the TT.
My quiver of gear has shrunk to a rarely used Slash surfboard, Bhoot 137x40 Tt the pocket Air foil board and Spitfire. And the Notus Air 8m with 2 choices of line lengths.
Wind 12-35+ knots

Hi tripman. How are you getting your Clouds when Greg will only ship to US?
Friends travelling to the US. Got the kites sent to their hotel from Greg and they bring them to me. Clouds are so small that it's no problem. This way, I can get them within a week. I did it for the C1 and my current C.5.

Oh yes, I have a 10 m enduro that i use with ketos FR2, and it has very good windrange, looping and jumping hability, drift, and hangtime.

However, take my advice with a grain of salt, cause opposite to most people, i like using the biggest kite i can hold on the foil to do massive airs, so I ony jump to my 10 m enduro when I'm totally overpowered on 13m Edge.

Jumping with the foil is sick!!

There's a few guys here using the Slingshot RPM 9 for foiling, I'd call them stage 2 beginners, up flying and learning flying transitions. I was watching them for 30 min after my session on a 12 Mono, could have been on a 9 too, but wind had picked up during the session.
They seemed to be doing very good, kite is rock solid and not fluttering in depower. Drifts well too.
People say, and dealer demoing, that they can be difficult to water start due to square tips and non swept LE. Works all around too. Bigger sizes like 12 look ok, but the 14 is a monster.
