We have the 7 & 11. My wife flies both abd I have flown the 11 a number of times. Yes the relaunch works very well but the kite is very forgiving and I don't put it in the water much at all.
Stability and turning speed are also very good. The relaunch system is also a gust absorbing system which does a pretty sweet job. No one will try and convince you that they match the fuels for pop or jump height but they are a nice kite to ride and a very neat package
