all good stuff here

6m not too flightly, stable, not overly fast for a small kite

9m the allrounder, good pull, turns smartly, drops back with the wind riding down the line

12m excellent for a "big" kite, turns well, good for waves in marginal wind,

no relaunch issues so far (dumped the 12 in the surf yesterday got washed throu and completely submerged,kite just popped up and relaunched it in a sec), self launch a doddle on the beach, self land easy with fifth line

seem well made, bag servicable without being spectacular

bar ok too, iron heart less clumbersome than 07

dump valve at le tip an excellent feature, just roll the kite up like a carpet


only issue - have used same bar and lines (20m) on the three kites, stock standard set up

back lines (or more correctly back pig tails are too short),all 3 kites choke easily so need some front line depower to adjust for that issue
will rectify myself

otherwise hard to fault for surfing, turn well, upwind excellent, very user friendly
i dont do anything else so cant comment jumping etc

Funnily enough i have an 08 12m for sale in buy and sell.
what a coincidence...
