Hey,
I have been useing the 14m menace for a couple of months now. for me i love the light bar pressure and turning speed is awsome, i actually run mine on the slower turning speed for unhooked riding.

My style is mostly unhooked riding and it has a real smooth pull. But when it gets to windy for that it boosts really good, it has a really good mix between height and hangtime to perform any freestyle tricks.

Im am a 75 kg rider, and i have had this kite in the wind range of 14 to 24 knots on a 134 element board.it still is very responsive with the depower strap all the way in.

I havnt worried about getting a smaller kite yet, but when i get the dosh im thinking the 10m could be a nice edition. Any one got reveiws on the 10m

Received my Vegas 06 12m on Wednesday. Have had a couple of sessions with it. Without getting into a lot of detail, initial impressions are that it's VERY SMOOTH, FAST TURNING and FORGIVING.

Weight: 68kg.
Board: 126 x 37.5

Session 1: 18-22 knots. Handled the +20 gusts extremely well. Had it on the powered settings and didn't feel a need to start making any adjustments to trim, etc.

Session 2: 15-20 knots: Felt like I didn't have to focus on the kite at all and could concentrate on my board skills. Not doing any tricks yet (just mowing the lawn ) and this is a kite that will give anyone fairly new to the sport the confidence to go to the next level.

Session 3: 9-11 knots: kite up in the air, stable and holding its shape (wanting to go windward), but I didn't bother getting wet. 2 more knots needed...

Very happy with the kite overall. No comparison to the other 3 kites I owned in 05. Bar pressure is also very good. Much lighter than my previous 12 and 16, but you still get a lot of feedback. No surprises when you look up in the air.
