I am looking at upgrading my older Kites what I usually ride out of my 6 current ones (I know, slightly excessive) are 8m and 12m 05 Gaastra Visions, 16.5m 06 Cabrinha Contra and a 7m 07 Cabrhina Switchblade (the 16m Vision doesn't see a lot of action these days).

I am already pretty much sold on the 08 Contra3 as the lightwind upgrade. I need something in the 10-12m size to fill the gap between that and the 7m Switchy.

I am about 90Kgs and an Intermediate Rider (I've been kiting for 3 years now). Not into Wave riding, more flat water to small waves and prefer the feel of C kites to Bows for optimal conditions.

Hi D,

If it's "C" kite feel you want, then it isn't a contest .... Vapor II.

Good winds,

Oh yeah - the VapII is the go.

The 8.5 and 10 are the best sizes in the Vapor and are very very nice kites.

But if you want a C-kite then why don't you buy a C-kite?
