I have been using the Type 9 -7,9 &12 since June last year mainly in the surf.
For me, I like the shorter chicken loop line. If you need more depower have you tried pulling in the depower line? (dumb question I know - just had to ask).
For me, the longer the bar throw the more the dreaded poo stance. If I'm reaching the top end of the kite - particularly going down the line in waves- I put up a size smaller kite, which is cool cause I like the 7 better than the 9 better than the 12.
Have we all forgotten the minimal range days of the old c kites? Small price to pay for a super fast turning high performance kite.
