This year we're celebrating 10 years from the day Trigger was presented to the kitesurfing community. In these 10 years, we have learned a lot about you and about ourselves. Thanks to your embrace, your loyalty and yes – also your criticism, we have been able to bring you a better kite each year, tweaking the features that were most important to our riders. For the Trigger's 10th gen we kept all the core characteristics that have been a crowd favorite from day one – agility, quick turning, massive hangtime – and added a little something extra for each kite size. For example, for the 7m we added stability in high winds. The 9m has been beefed up with even more hangtime and the 14m received extra power on the low end.

The bar pressure is fairly light but you can always feel where the kite is. The Trigger works well for basic unhooked tricks but as I don't do handle passes I can't comment on that aspect of its performance.
Due to its speed and fast turning I have no doubt that the Trigger would work well in the waves. I have only ridden it in onshore conditions and it felt very capable for hitting up a the waves too.
So who is the Blade Trigger for? The vast majority of riders would be very happy on a Trigger, right from beginners to advanced riders who mainly ride hooked in. If you are focused on unhooked tricks or pure wave riding there are probably better suited kites but as an all round offering, you can't go wrong with a Trigger.
