It is a small light wind machine that will fly fairly powered in all but the lightest of winds.
The 12m all around is a kite that feels reliable, smooth, easy to fly as in it is predictable, and it tends to bring you back to the ground quite softly. For the size(12m) and as a foil, this kite certainly had a quick turn and definetly allows for strong kite loops and great hang time. It is a true foil with a ton of grunt.
I really have found the design and color scheme to fit my riding style... Typical on ski/snowboard or mountain board looking for air.
It looks awesome awesome black....with white tips and certainly stands out from everything else out there!

It is one of the best unhooked flying foils I've ever flown and jumped with making new tricks that require unhookingvetc easier.
One really hard crash needed a small repair on the trailing edge but it was less damage then I expected as I watched a friend crash both himself hard and then the kite to follow even harder leading edge into the ground.
This is a great high performance foil that is going to give every snow kite out yhere( or foil for that matter) a real run for their money!
Awesome kite! I'm so very pleased with the patrol!

The kite packs small, takes minutes to set up and fly/ relaunch, and has a very very user friendly feel when flying.
As the kite gets more use.... The durability shall be better assessed. Yet this far it seems pretty good as I have many students learn with this size kite with great success, many crashes, and one small repair so far.
