Mine still flys nice, but always keen to get the max out of a new kite. Are there any links for any mods carried out on the 12m??
I remember there was talk a while back of a descriptive illustrated mod on the 9m.
Any help I'll be stoked with.
Cheers

Try these, mainly for 9 and 7 however you could set your 12 in the same way as the 9.
Personally i prefer the 12 with all lines equal.

Poor relative, thanks for the kudos, we have been finding that the points for tuning the 7m and 9m are very similar, and pumping the Leading Edge up really tight (at owners risk over manufactuer speci - which seems not to be enough) really makes these kites stable.

I also have other reviews at www.southcentralkiteboarders.com
click on equipment reviews if anyone is interested
