Style: Surf,
Weather: 18-30 knots gusty
Build Quality: 9/10
Satisfaction: 9/10
Disclosure: Scrubber enjoying the stoke, buy my own.

First impression was how smooth this kite was going down the line.
One of the best drifting kites I've used to date, pretty fast toboot.

Love the way it didn't pull me off my edge if I stuffed up a turn.

Very grunty but smooth.

Very suprised how light the bar was for a low aspect kite. "BIG" tick in my book.

Not the best up wind kite out there but was no slouch. Got me to where I wanted to go.

The smart bar has a new stopper ball which I liked. over all 10 / 10.

Fitted into to bag with out to much of a hassle.

The only down side was I didn't have it pumped up to spec and it got a bit of a hand full when 30 knot gusts come through. Went in and pumped it up to spec and no more problems.

Over all

Hi Just curious how does it compare to 2011 Lithium 10M?

Hi Alex,
I haven't had the pleasure of riding a 2011 10m. I have flown the 8m though. the 2011 8m was a great kite, great wind range.

I like the 3 strut more so. More forgiving in waves.

Pretty quick and was able to use the bar one handed with out to much of a worry. Couldn't do that with the 2011 8M. Alot lighter on the bar.

I haven't done any boosting on it yet but if it's like the 2011 then she will go big.

PM if you want to know more.

Some lithium riding up in what looks to be a chilly UK.
