Hey im looking at getting a 09 flow, just wondering if anyone has owned one or had one. Any info would be greatly appreciated. my riding style is more freestyle
Yeah, i've got a 2009 10m. I'm a big fan. I think the key aspects are:
Light bar pressure, but needs a good hard pull to turn (ie stable, but possibly a little slow)
Very forgiving if you stuff up a jump or landing. I've never had it fall out of the sky, it usually just floats backwards until the lines get tight and then ride away.
Shorter throw than the 08's coz they got no pulleys. You can also trim 5m off the lines as they have a detachment point.
They are pretty tough, one pump, all that jazz. They've got a freakishly large leading edge but they still seem to fly forward in the window, i can beat most people upwind with it.
They've got a really good bottom end, but the top end isn't the best. On my 10 I get going in about 14kts, but once it hits about 25 i start to really struggle, the bar can be fully out and she's still got some mega pull.
I've also got a 2008 7m. It's my favourite. I've never compared same sizes of the 2008/2009 so can't compare the models properly.
Hope this helps.
