Perth got slammed with 25-46knts SW this morning and we had a chance to test drive the Naish Matador 3m (thanks to Dan KiteAddiction Myaree ). So quickie review, currently using Cabrinha Crosswing V2 3m and Duotone Unit Echo of larger sizes.

Matador canopy is taut, very stable e.g. up to 40knts - no shifty wing wrestling. Nice to boost for airs (my dept ) and I have seen Dan flag the wing super smooth so guess that department's ok too. The earlier paper bag feel is gone, it's a modern taut wing. The handles are personal taste so I won't touch that but they are balanced and locked in for me first front and middle back from water-start to top end.

I've got the 5m but thinking of getting either the 3 or 4, do you know what wind ranges they would suit?

Is that lots of panelling im seeing in the wing canopy ? Looks sick like spider man would use it. You should hire a spidy suite and do a photo shoot. lol.
