Bought this kite in 10 m as it was sold with a board (crisis 134) for a verry good price.
I was affraid it woould look like the T3 but i was amazed how it's way different. The kite is light in the bar and have a great depower. Turning speed is good for a 10 althought if you won't thow kiteloop like with the RPM.

As a bow kite (it's called delta shape but i call it bow in opposition with C shapes), the kite turn on it's ears and loose some power so it's not the best kite for waves and hardcore freestyle. But if you like cruising and most of all big, huge jumps, you'll love this kite.
I weight 75 kg and used the 10 from 12 to 30 kn. The kite lift slowly but hight in the air and longer than the RPM at the same size. So you have plenty of time to rotate or make a board off.

kite is very stable, more than the Octane. You can fix your biddings, look the girsls on the beach and your kite stays cool in the air.

relaunch is a child game. pull a rear line and the kite flyes; the security system is different than the SLINGSHOT CSS but works perfectly when needed. Can have some troubles in strong wind to relauch if you use it.

So if you want to fly hight and long, and be secured, don't look for another kite, take the KEY!!!
