I am thinking a 10m North Code 2024
Anyone foiled these kites?
I am keen to know how well the stay up I about 7 to 8 kn breeze plus how responsive are the 10 and 11m in light breezes?
I like fast responsive kites.
Currently have BRM Clouds but now to expensive to import new ones.

If you like clouds why don't you look at the UFO's
Easy to buy and awesome to fly

Presuming you mean the North Code Zero, I have a 7m and 9m. Rarely use the 7m as the wind here doesn't often get over 15 knots. I'm under 70kg. Great kites!

Thanks for your reply.
How is relaunch in light wind and does it fly ok in 7 to 8kn breezes?

Well, I had a sort of a demo yesterday in breeze 7kn Max. On the 9m with Axis 840 Spitfire with 300p stab.
I actually did foil for almost 1k then pilot error dropped it. Wind died to near nothing for a swim.
I managed to relaunch when I could stand up and walked back to land in sub 4kn breeze with the kite flying without issues.
Hopefully better Wind next time.

I'm fairly novice at kite foiling, and below 10 knots I just can't generate enough power to get up. 10-15 knots is perfect for me with the 9m. Anything above 15 knots and I'll inflate the 7m.

I use 32m race lines which makes a huge difference to bottom end, light wind and response.
