Vegas, Fuel and Boxer I have tried out but all in diferent sizes so it's not a fair comparison.
Vegas is really stable and easy to use, as is the Boxer, the Fuel I found to be a bit quicker through the air, not twitchy but certainly different. If looking for a really stable kite I would recommend the other two I have mentioned With the Fuel, Slingshot has the Diesel to cover the market you are refering to.
Airush Flow is also well worth a look.
Try them out if you can, I'm sure there's guys out there at your local spot who can give you a quick run after seeing you kite?.
Right fellas/ladies?

I have the spitfires 12m mark 1 and the 16m mark 2 Happy with both good wind range and very good in gusty conditions can look up kitefourm on page 2 or 3 buy now they have some 28 comments on the new spitfire and can contact Lee at cautionkites.com.au I am in Sydney if you whonted a go.

Thanks for the post.
I never heard bad news about the fuel except valves can pop open. Apart from that everyone is happy with it.
But can it be flown with a 5'th line?
Some people call the boxer twichy, don't know what that means.
In my local shop the (torch rider) said if you can't fly the Torch, you can't fly the Vegas. From the info about the Vegas I collected this seems not quite right.
Is the Vegas as easy to fly like the Boxer?

Yeah yeah... A mate of mine just bought a 12m 2005 model (flow) ripped the wing tip through the reinforced section on his second use.. I sugeested he send it in for warranty staight away... He didn't like the answer he got... Stick with my fuels thanks

Not sure where dolphinkite is at ? but I have to strongly disagree with dachopper UNLESS you are past the first kite stage.
IMO you will advance through all the initial frustrating stages much faster on the fattest, low aspect kite you can get your hands on. The performance advantages of an advanced kite will not only be useless to you until you are able to use them competently but will actually work against you when all you need is time up on your board. Low aspect offers stability, steadier responsiveness, easier relaunch etc etc all of which will give you more time up & practicing rather than down & swimming & walking. You will shorten and enjoy the learning curve more and there will always be a new newbie out there well served & grateful to take your 1st kite off your hands when your ready to move on - sooner
Dachoppers advice is probably spot on from then on
Thats what I reckon anyway

Hey guys,

Dan is too correct! Aspect ratio or kite speed is not a measure of your kiting ability.

You chose the kite which suits the riding style you prefer. Lower aspect kites like Flows are becoming the kiters choice because they are good for a lot of different styles and rock in the waves.

It's not what you got, it's how you use it! Ignore the hype!
