Hello Readers,

I am in need of some help on a new 12m kite as i cant demo every kite out there.....
Im really keen on the 12m Torch.
The reason for the 12m is trying intermediate to advanced tricks also melbourne has man, such as raileys to blind, unhooked back and front rolls, trying e16's kiteloop transitions etc, keeping in mind im attempting these tricks at the moment and im getting wiped out to hard on my 10m rpm and 8m coz i can only ride in 21+ knt and i feel to overpowered to be progressing in a nutshell, most experienced boarders are telling me they learned most of there tricks on the larger kites.
So some suggestions would be appreciated.

hey dude, what you are looking for would be a c-kite, of any type. the torch as you suggested is perfect but the vegas, fuel, hadlow etc are also. pretty much your best bet is a c-kite and you'll be flying

Sweet thanks Ewan, always great to get advice from the Bee's knees , c kite it is.
For progression, would the lighter winds and 12m kite help? is it worth the investment? or same shat with the smaller kite range, i knw they turn faster and wipeouts are harder in stronger conditions....

A lot of people seem to be really enjoying the Airush Razor lately, see if you can get a demo.

yer any c-kite from 9-15m will be perfect for progressing your riding, any smaller and it starts to get a bit harder to learn stuff on, and any bigger, well these days they don't come much bigger, but there is no point. i would say a 10,11 or 12m kite would be what you are looking for, all kites come in those sizes
