I forgot to write about the Boxer SLE. I rode a 12m about 2 weeks ago in 10 - 18 knots s/w. An extremely stable kite, standard SLE depower (too much), good turning speed,excellent responce (much faster and more direct than most bridal kites), improved bar pressure (much lighter than 06 Shockwave), excellent relaunch (big improvement on 2006 SLE). Jumping was easy and predictable with an above average hang time for an intermediate kite. I didn't get to ride the kite on 1:1 mode due to time restrictions, I will try to test it in the next week.

Conclusion: While bridal kites are not my thing, this is definately a good step in the right direction for that style of kite, a very safe and predictable feeling kite!

More news later,

I try not too! But I have only really spend any time that is quotable on the Shockwave 9 & 12m. Which is why I could only use them as real references to the charastics of the 07 kite! However the speed of responce is something you can see from a far, dierctness in responce is somthing which I beleive Naish's SLE have over the competition, and it's gotten better this year.
