Depends on your weight, we found this kite suits light weight riders best. Light bar pressure, the kite flies before any other kite will fly. Kite doesnt stall with bar pulled all the way in, very forgiving. Turning is very responsive too. Our school uses the Sbows for all lessons this season - 3m, 5m, 8m and 11m, and there isnt another range in the market that does a better job in my opinion. Airush DNAs were our range last season, and we thought there isnt a better teaching kite than the DNAs! You will be surprised with the power the Sbow generates. Make sure you get the 09 bar though. 08 bar needs quite a bit of improvement and modifications. 09 bars should b leaving China this week to reach all distributors.
