My Comments:

Just got in from 1st go on the 13 Dice. I weigh 110 kgs (Pies). Was on 2013 Nugget.

When I first went out the Sand had just started to move down the beach. I shortened the knot on the Bar to the shortest as suggested here. Super Fun Kite!!! Has the MOST Juice of any Kite i have flown on the UPSTROKE....

Gets me out of trouble with that extra pull on the way up.

Extremely Stable kite. Turns like is has Power Steering. Hardly any effort to turn with one hand.

When the Wind dropped below 15 MPH I struggled and had to Really work the kite to get through the lulls.

I also tried as Eppo suggested that to bear off a little and dive the kite and on the upstroke let the kite move a little back in the window. Wow!! Its like someone turned on the AFTER Burner.... It Locks itself in position and Rips. Still need to work on the upwind Technique. I could hold my ground good but didn't have much success in getting higher upwind.

I can see that below 15mph for me, that the Static Pull of the 2014 14 Rebel isn't the same.

Other than that, one of the SmOOOOOOOOhest kites i have ever flown since 1999.

14

I flew the 10m the other day in a clean 20 knots. It just felt so nice instantly. Fit like a glove instantly. I hooked in, walked 20m to the water dove the kite got some speed up and boosted off the very first wave lip, got some sweet air. landed smooth redirect easy as and boosted of the next lip.

Usually you need to spend time getting used to a kite. Finding its sweet spot. Not this one. I was instantly dialled onto it. Very intuitive.

I agree it felt sooooooo smoooooth. The smoothest flying kite I have flown in a while.

A very fun kite to fly in the mid range of wind. Upwind was ok. not fantastic by not bad either. dtl line was good. as was quick and easy jumping over white wash. Turning speed was fast. felt similar to my 8m cat. Certainly it turned faster than my 10m c4.

Great feedback and happy birthday Toeside.

1999, Jesus you've been around a while...
