R U guys a little sore? My lips hurt from smiling.

I am definitely stoked about how some kites have such a huge range. I would have definitely had to re-rig 2 years ago. I also love having a 2 kite quiver, with at least 10 knots overlap between the two. Makes kite selection kind of easy (either will work from 15 to 25).

That 15 is a lot easier to hold down than a 12m C kite of a couple years ago, mainly because it just shoots upwind and spills power that way when edging. But, if you don't edge and let it develop some apparent wind and power, bearing off wind... (especially at full power) well... see ya', wouldn't wanna be ya'!

Didn't that happen to you, Tom? (in about 15 knots). And then Donna took it out and ripped? That was my fault for not tuning it for you. You were basically trying to hold down a run away train. But, you got the feel of what I mean.

It's not a beginner kite, but once you spend time on it, it's pretty sweet.
