Rider: 76kg,intermediate to advanced (also for friend im teaching on less than 20knot days)
Style: Freeriding, Surf, Wake, Freestyle
Weather: kite for over 20 knots, Build Quality: ?/10
Satisfaction: ?/10

Has anyone compared the 2010 and 2011 evos. Much difference?

Was going to buy 9m fuse for 22knot plus days but thought the kite might not be as good for unhooked riding and kiteloops which i am just starting to do.

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

EVO will be better for your needs than the Fuse.
New cloth in the 2011 and one pump.
8m will be plenty enough.

Maybe also consider a Vegas in a 9m.

I am an Intermediate rider. have just been in the same boat as you, I am getting into unhooking and handle passes. Demoed the 12m Evo in 25 knots got blowen off the water, didn't like the feel of it. Demoed the 10m fuse and 9m rebel nice kites but fell in love with the 10m Vegas right away. Have been riding it for 3 months now 3 times a week. Nice an quick in the air quicker then the rebel and fuse. Have been out in 28 knots and still have depower left. I ride it in 15knots but it loves 20 knots, my weight is 82 kg. My wife is learning to kite so I bought her the 9m rebel but she likes my Vegas better she is 68kg and rides it in 15 to 20 knots much easier then the 9m Reble.
