Oh yes you can go real big on a REO no problems near its top end. Its how you come down that is the key issue I feel! Splat! Unless ya keen on some looping action which is always fun for mere mortals in high winds!

It seems to me that reo has been the most predominant kite on this subject of the best wave kite..I demo'd this kite the other week and Iam usually into boosting and all that ,but I loved the quickness of this kite.I was a pleasure to fly.I am just getting into waves which makes me think .I will keep my old boost kites for boosting sessions and when I want to ride waves I will go the reo.
I would like to demo the rpm ,the bandit,the wainman to see what other alrounders are like .Also I would like to demo the drifter ,but I have read that it is slower than the reo.The airush wave looks good too!
I think the reo is going to be hard to beat!

The Ozone Catalyst is built for you. More of a 'C' kite boosting technique (depending on what you're used to) but goes large and comes down as gently or as hot as you like, and still has great turning, drift, and relaunch for waves.
