My session saver! It's a good kite. At 85 kg I would use it 10 kn to 18 on a nugget (low end) or tt in higher winds. Have had it up to 22kn - that was no fun, but shows it's is manageable if the wind come in. I'll often be the only one out, or heading upwind while others can't keep ground. Best to ride it "parked" with slow movements, but you can work it hard if needed. Jumps Ok, relaunches well with any kind of wind. Will reverse launch in really light stuff.

I rode that kite all last season. Could do wakestyle on a TT/boots in 12 knots at 86kgs with heaps of power and ride an Axis Newave in 8-10 knots. It's not an upwind machine but it gives you the pull you need in light winds and lets you have fun. I used it in comps as well and would regularly ride it in the 15-18 range to be super powered up. Can't say enough good things about it.

Got the 15m 2015, lots of power , I only ride surfboards, maybe a bit to much pull on that. If your keen selling it for $1400 bar and lines, only used it about 5 times , no damage, like new.
