Rode my first tribal today a 13m2 2007 in 15knt to 30knt gusty condition's............WOW what a nice kite. Took me very little effort to learn the kite after ridding my ARX 11.5 Naish and a good friend of mine's F-one 11mt impact, this thing was a dream I did 2 Tracks of the beach only to find Tindy grabs......... Yes I am a novice of 5 months.......... and down loops/kite loop's a breeze on this kite. I would like to say thanks to Luke of BRISKITE'S who lent me his kite........ Man I fell in love within 2 mins.... If only women fell in luv this easy..... had great turning ability over the impact with so much depower and yet it could boost me so hight @ 90kg's... Very impressed. I would recommend to any-one.....have a try and you will be hooked. yes my kite is old but I have had the opportunities to try the Flexifoil 7 and 12 the naish Torch 10 and 14 and the Naish Raven 14 and the Naish boxer 9 and 14 yet this kite was my sweet spot. All the gear I used was courtesy of BRISKITES in REDCLIFFE....

Yer I know the feeling, I tried the range at Kitestock on the Saturday up there and out off the flexfoils and fuels the F-one got my vote, good depower, turned well and relaunched easily. Although there wasn't an adjustable stopper on the power strap to keep the kite powered on without releasing the bar fully?...... now just for the season to start again to justify the coin to buy one to replace my old quivers :D

Just sailed a tribal 2 11m up here in Geraldton on the weekend. First full depower kite I've used. The joy of depowering in a turn at speed on the wave!! Turns on dime. I will try other depower C's, but I am very tempted to go with a tribal. Thinking maybe a 13m to get the 12-14 knts out of it at my 85kgs.

STYZLES sounds like you enjoyed it as much as me. I think with all the kites I have tried w/out being a sheep and going for what seems to be overrunning me favorite spot I will more than likely go for this kite. although I really did like the Naish torch and the Raven I found this kite to be so easy to ride, and when I watch these kites being used they r pulling off the nice maneuvers. Hey its just the price that has stopped me so far, however i have not seen one bad comment. So next season YEEEEEE HHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....
