Had the chance to ride a 14m Rally last night back to back with my 13m Ozone edge. While it didn't have the raw power of the Ozone it was a rally nice kite to fly.

Turns very quick more like an 11m kite, and I was suprised at the boost and hang time of this kite. Different kind of lift takes you straight up instead of flying you up like the Ozone ... but in what could be called mid range wind for me on this kite around 18 knots and on a 135 board (I also borrowed) (Some Kitepower dude was out on my kite and board.) I was able to pull off some really respectable boosts with very good hang time on this kite. You can throw this kite from much lower than the Ozone and generate good speed which translates into good boost power. I was boosting as high on this as I was on the Ozone. And the hang was not quite the same but very respectable anyway. It handled really well on the waves. It looped really nice with nice even power throughout the loop. You can sweep turn or pivot turn this thing( your can with the Ozone to after a bit of practice.) Great bar pressure and feedback ...no guessing where the kite is.

I jumped back on the 13m Edge when wind picked up a little and its like putting on your favourite pair of jeans, still my favourite........But If I was looking to get into someone else's pants ??????????
