me: bloke in mid 50s 105 pies, like boosting, 5yrs kiting, very limited 'trickery' (backroll, jump transition, occasional dowloop).

wind: slightly underpowered, about 20 knots

Tried few demo kites for the last few days courtesy of Sonya and Jason of WA Surf Rockingham

Wanted an all around kite but good jumping was a pre-requisite

Tried Bandit 11m - liked it a lot
Enduro 10m - not for me, bit high bar pressure, loops great, jumps good, but tiring for a longer sessions
Evo 10m - good boosting but too scary to try any kind of loops (being a beginner at it)

Core Nexus - liked it a lot:

light bar pressure
great upwind performance
jumps great
fast turning
smooth power delivery
loops great - low power fast loops that encouraged me to try more
drifts well
stabe and predictable

Professionals might argue that some aspect are not up to scratch but for the amateure 'intermediate kiters' it is a great progression kite . Will allow you to try new moves without punishing harshly for the mistakes, will alow you to stay on the water longer due to low bar pressure, and will assist to recover from any poorly executed moves - so fast to get back where you wanted it in the first place.

Great all around kite, pleasure to use.

Will get one one day (bought Bandit just a day earlier)
