Into my unhooked new school wake tricks but also love boosting and sick kiteloops.

Which kite should I go for?

Not so simple - by a long shot.
You have to try them for yourself.
There are LOTS of questions - the only right answer is your own.

if your jut doing raleys, backs, s bends, back 2 blind, then i would go Rev as for convenience (relaunch, bigger range etc). Also the rev will give you way longer boosts and it kite loops really well. The Fuel would be if your into more hardcore stuff like mobes etc. The fuel rockets you up in the air really fast but you dont get nearly as much hangtime but te fuel easily is the best looper. You cant go wrong with either.

Hmm it's a hard one, If you know me then you'll know I love fuels always have always will.. But I will have a 13m rev as my big kite this year over my 11m fuel as it turns as fast and is as light on the bar with more power and pop, plus nearly depowers to the same amount.. For smaller kite i'm still trying to make up my mind, for waves the rev for wake and freestyle not sure as the rev is almost to quick in the smaller size, maybe I just need a little more time on it. The rev is faster to water relaunch though.. The fuel and rev both give a nice pull in kite loops the fuel definetly more power but the rev is easier to get back above you, For softer landings.
Still can't decide..

All this came about because I had a crap sesh on Sunday.

Was out on my 10m flow and it seemed so slow, I got no pop and everytime I unhooked the bar just seemed to tractor away from me.

Always used to ride fuels for the past four years, but got all flow (5m, 7m and 10m) because I share my kites with my lovely wife.

Trying really hard to crack mobe and kgb, but still going through what you woodies lot call the Bulls?#t pass where you go through the motions but don't actually fully commit.

When that fails I revert to a big arse kiteloop.

Was going to just change my 10m flow for a 11m and 13m fuel and keep the 5 and 7m flow.

But not sure if havig this strange combo would work and if I would prefer the fuels?????

This is hard, espesially when kites cost so much heh

i flew some 08 fuels in holland earlier this year and still think they are a great free style kite will do everything they always have but i'm going to disagree with they looping comment my thirteen rev loops so much better then any kite around that size when you start looping bigger kites you tend to need more height as to complete to loop b4 you land and i find the rev 13 is the only kite that i can loop and get higher than while looping without being stupidly over powered but it is really each to there own i love my rev but fuels will always be in my heart..... i think deep down we all have a little fuel in our blood.
