what sle/bow kite has the fastest turning speed in a 13m (12m) size?

what 7m sle/bow has the most stability... is the one you'd feel the most confortable kiting in 35 knots with.

and wot is da best sle/bow (9m) for wakestyle/ unhooked moves?

Naish Boxer SLE 12M will turn/rotate/kiteloop on the spot with bar set 1:1 ratio.
Super fast, very light bar pressure and very responsive.
Found myself doing accidental kiteloops until I got use to the turning speed.

thanx Shane. one of our locals has a Boxer and he's stoked with it so here's hoping that i can scab a go

I'll add another vote for the Boxer SLE - it's a kite I just can't fault - its GOOD at everything...

Cheers,

DK

we've got a couple down here (not mine obviously..)

how to self launch one?

fun to get off the seawall when bridles down and caught on all the wee sticks too!

otherwise looks nice....

my shiny new 2007 Ocean Rodeo One (12m) kite is prety damn good. huge improvement on turning speed from the '06

love it

I love my 07 One Kite as well, but I wouldn't call it fast turning. In fact it's slow to turn, and sits back in the window a bit as well... BUT it's bottom end is the best I've tried, if it can fly it will get you upwind! For 10-12 knot sea breezes it's the ONE.

12m Slingshot Link is truely awesome! You just need to see what Gavin can do with it when he unhooks, very powered kite loops, horizontal with the kite, scaring the shit out of ya kind of stuff.
Alot a bows etc pivot within their axis, this is gay, but I'm sure when you let go of the bar (hooked or whatever) they are very safe & fall out of the sky.
The ONE kites are the closest I've seen to the feel of a C-kite, this does not necessarily make them fast, the 9m is the pick for freestyle, the 7m the most awesome wave kite, does what it's told in stroppy high winds, plus good bottom end.
New for 2007, the Rise, this will be nice, I expect it will be similar to the Link.
Innovations from Slingshot are now becoming mainstream in most kites, & we'll see more of this, they are f%^&en onto it!
