My Comments:

Have had it for about a month and been on it about 10 times...
Build quality is very good, not overly reinforced but scuff protection where needed and all the stitching looks top notch.. Bridals are thick and stiff, unlike some others that have the thin prone to stretching bridals...

I only ride surfboards... 12-14 kts I have found that adding a second knot about 2"
up on the backlines improves lightwind performance greatly...I think because it prevents me from sheetion out too much and losing power and speed...Riding in 12-14 kts I never have to sheet in more than 6". Kite is very stable and smooth on power delivery... Constant pull in turns... Not a super fast turner, but smooth sweeping turns...If you crank on it hard you can make it pivot on itself..

I've only crashed it once, at it popped right up as soon as I grabbed the bar...

Self launching on beach is a breeze, it rolls over easy and pops up...

Drifts great low in the window or running underneath it..

I've only had it out once in 16 kts and had to pull in some trim to tame it down...

I'm very happy with it and have a 7m coming next week...

I support my local shop when I can, but if I can buy a new kite for 600$ as opposed to 1200$ I would gladly take the risk....

Great kites, well built and perform as stated on website....
