Does anyone have any comments good or bad on the 08 Royal Era?

good kite small sizes are really fast through the window. Fly really nice and stable and are really grunty. Almost got a set but went for OR Rises.

I also got the 08 Rise but I am thinking of getting a 12m ERA as a light wind kite.

I can use my rise bar with the ERA.

Bought an 8m ERA and used it a lot at Coronation last Summer. Rock stable yet incredibly fast. Arguable a bit too fast for down-the-line waveriding, but otherwise a real treat to fly. Definitly not an entry level kite. Keen to get a 10 or 12 for less windy days. The bag does not suit my needs (cycling). Would much prefer a backpack.
