"You know dude, I need to have surf-kites that are super-quick."

"Well man, get yourself some small kites then."

"You don't understand dude ...I need all my big kites to be super-quick in the waves."

"Well man, big kites are usually grunty but they aren't always quick."

"Dude, I need them to be lightning-quick."

"Like white-lightning, man?"

"Yeah dude, is there any other?"

"Well man, grunt can be good."

"Dude, grunt doesn't whip-up big power spikes."

"Right man."

"Dude, grunt doesn't always provide for ease of handling and positioning."

"Right man."

"Dude, grunt doesn't always depower well either."

"Right man."

"Dude, grunt is so over-rated."

"No way man, grunt in small kites rates."

"Right dude. Small kites should be made with more gruntness and big kites should be made with more quickness."

"But man, what about range?"

"Dude, a broad range is most attractive but that narrow, elusive sweetspot is more desirable."

"And quickness man, is that your wish, master?"

"Dude, quickness is number 1."

"Maybe man. But maybe small kites, strong wind and good waves are number 1."

"Right dude."

But not quite right, dude man..
As I learned here recently, slow turning kites can also be the sh!t in the surf.
You just need a super long peeling wave, which creates the demand for a new species of "park and ride surf kites".

sweet, what does mine say?

dude, bring back work for the dole man.

"I mean come on, seriously man you still ride strapped and hooked in..."

"Dude, but I can throw sooo much spray!"

"Yeah man but so can a whale... and we both know they blow."

^^
So would you rather put a friendly big pot whale on 70% of the surf-kiting magazine shots?
Throwing spray seems to be the main concept of this whole discipline..
Apart from the odd tube ride, which only legit folks in funky shirts manage to do.
