Below is a review of the 2012 11.5 Argo from sbckiteboard.com Just so you know how the kite flys from unbiased reviews.
WHAT THE SBC TEST TEAM RIDERS ARE SAYING:"Great cruiser and jumper; value-minded freeriders can't go wrong."
"
The beefy and flat central canopy is stable through gusts, while giving a softer and smooth power delivery. Easy to jump, and even one of my quick picks for progressive boosting."
"The Argonaut is Griffin's answer to easy handling, massive de-power,
superb stability and auto-relaunch. "
