rode the link 10.5 today for the first time on the new RED bridle system.. great kite excellent in gusty conditions very stable canopy - responsive and fast and a very nice arc in kitelooping..the canopy seems to have greater stability with the new bridle and this kite size seems optimal..an excellent all around kite that should see the average rider going in 15 - 25 knots with comfort and confidence...also very simple water relaunch like a fuel or c kite it behaved exactly the same way..therefore a great beginner to intermediate kite choice !!.. 9/10.
