My Comments:on pumping up there wernt any visible changes to last year ,on closer inspection spotted the scuff guards on the rear line conection points.laying the 9mt ontop of last years 8 revealed a deaper profile with an increased area in the tips. the bar had changed coulour and the lines have shrunk down to 20mts.with one pole dancer on the water barly on the plane,this was going to be a good test for the lower end of this kite. to my suprise i rode straight up wind and into the waves ,on a wave riding with the wind the kite was able to be looped down the line ,when running under the kite yhe drift is predictable and stable,a few times i had total slack in the lines,the kite seems to have failsafe tendancys,it will pivot and drift alowing time for you to pick up slack on the top line,un hooking was a breeze same as last years ,i rig my kites one or two knots depowed,there is minimal chance of stalling ,inthe air there was noticeably less cupping of the wing tip,bar preasure i feel has increased a fraction, the 20mt lines i thought would be too short but suprisingly had plenty of power i the light conditipons.i rode again in 18-22kns the next day ,plenty of power definately a more powerfull kite from last years,overall very happy infact so happy went down the very next day to gspot and bought a 6mt stay tuned.
