Hey kris,

I demo'ed 12m about 6 months ago, I was only out for a cruise in 10knots using a skim board. It's characteristics are similar to all of todays kites in the hybrid/bow catagory's, Relaunch was easy similar to the havoc and it was stable and flew well in light wind. It turns nice but I wasn't loading up and demanding much from it obviously.

I would suggest this kite is for learners to intermediate level. If your in QLD maybe get in touch with Paddy, He deals LF.

My 2c, good luck.

The session is a lot more stable and sedate but I think you will grow out of it quickly.
It is not as responsive as the havoc.
The havoc is a lot better in almost every aspect, except probably relaunch but it is still good at that.

Disclaimer - I am a LF retailer in Brisbane so take my comments as such!

cheers
Kurt
