Maybe wait a week or so Dyno. Stock of Chargers isn't quite in stores yet, just a couple of demos floating around the country.
Some quick notes on the Charger-
Relaunch- A bit too easy if you ask me. What happened to the days we had to learn the hard way. Our 7m will relaunch off the water in 10knt. The kite basically does it for you.
Flying- Great stability, fast turning. It has the lightest bar pressure of all the Deltas which is a plus for one handed wave riding. Backs up in the window nicely for riding down the line.
I found it needs little to no trim for unhooking which is refreshing.
No idea on jumping yet as I need to get one out in decent wind.http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7647347&;server=vimeo.com

i have ridden the 9m Charger a few times and it is one of the better delta kites out there, its like a jack of all trades and will suit anyone for pretty much everything.
it has all the good delta characteristics of good bottom end, big range, fast turning, very good relaunch but does have a much lighter bar pressure than other delta's which i liked a lot.
i rode this kite on a twintip and was able to throw it around like nobodies business, fast turning when depowered and even while its drifting. the jumping is also excellent on this kite. i could almost get away with a 9m from lightest wind on a skimboard to 35knots on a twintip.
this kite made me like delta kites, surprisingly nice setup!!!
yeah i flew it with and without a stopper, the bar throw is super long. after putting the stopper on there it was much better!
bar pressure is definately a personal thing, i like a enough to feel what the kite is doing. maybe my stick arms are not as strong as your! :)
It does have 2 more positions to increase the bar pressure, takes about 30 seconds to change.
Definately fit the stopper before first flight, the long throw is appealing to learners and safety conscious riders but I always use a stopper.
