Best way to describe it - DIGITAL FAST.

The kite has basically 95% depower on a fairly small depower range. It's super fast producing truck loads of bottom end power and super hard punchy lift, cause you can put it in the right position in the blink of an eye.

I start using this wave riding from 20 knots up to 35? I havent been overpowered on it yet.
Im mostly using a large mutant wave twin tip. Its a custom board so its hard to say what it is similar too.

Most 7m kites are 5 struts, so I guess they are standard.
The New 7m has only 3 struts! This makes it pretty dam light and lightening fast across the wind window. The massive depower gives no pull either.

Being soo light it also has good drift.
Drift meaning if you have come around the top hard on a 4 or 5 foot wave and fly down the face and quickly smack the lip the kite will float around in the sky waiting for you. It's truely exceptional for down the line wave riding.

Loose line kite loops are sick. It's so light it just flicks around with almost no tension. Also reactive cause its all directly connected. You dont need to wait for any bridle network to retension for the kite to be reactive.
Down loops are also sick when riding the wave. The kite is light around the corner with wide wing tips to help it glide and pulls something nothing with the bar out.

I prefer the 7m for wave riding. Im 90kgs and my weight makes it is alittle fast for freestyle...landing blind etc. But a smaller person 50kgs would use this kite to its max. (wave board 15knots - 30knots twin tip, I would guess)

All the NEW kiteboarding designs are for people pushing the limits. It's tuned as a 4 line kite.The 5th line is used for top end arc stability and its the most superior strong wind flagging safety available.
With the free flowing 5 line system you should be able to get yourself out of most sticky situation fast.
And easily self land your kite in the strongest wind your willing to ride in.

I forgot to mention the freestyle kite loops.
Well eventually I get bored with waves cause it is the same thing.

Bugger me this kite will double kiteloop easily if you have the balls.
-I just come in fast,
-Then unhook while jumping large (cause I know if all fails it will release to the Neutralizer 5)
- When at the apex hold one side of the bar. Nice.

Heres some wind ranges for reference.

The 11m pictured has 5 struts and you can obviously see the wing tip vortices in this picture.

The 7m only has 3 struts!! Thats why the rocket kite is even more rocket faster again!!
