Sorry had to do this on my phone, I haven done this befor, I'm gonna buy a kite today, ether a bandit 6 or a switchblade, seeing what people prefer? I like be air and fast turning an if there is a bit of swell, catch a wave aswell
Kemp I'm in CQ atm so if you're open to other options you can take the Epic Renegade for a demo for a while, it'll tick those boxes. Lack of wind might be a problem though
I had Switchblades and agree with Eaglelad. It's a great park and ride and or wakestyle kite with good power and fabulous range. On the flip side, while playing in even small waves and whitewater, the Switchblade is too slow to respond. There are lots of kites that work better for waves including the Cabrinha Vector. I like the Lithium in the bigger sizes (9 m and up) and don't discount the Cabrinha Vector for waves in 9 m on down. It's a nice well behaved, stable kite that drifts well enough. Size for size it isn't as powerful as the Lithium or the Switchblade, but it's so user friendly and a joy in the 7 meter size. I found the Vector a little doggy in the 12 meter size.
Oops, sorry about the digression. You were asking about the F-One Bandit...go with the Bandit over the Switchblade :)
