As you helpfully say, the flaw is that they would have worked even better had they been lighter*.
* word count = 18.
Better how? Present some evidence or the issues you found with the kite.
*word count = 13
Your words.*
* Word count = 10
Count again.
*Word count = 2

No, I switched to a different radix.
Try again.

Clearly defined.
Check again. No definition given.
*word count = guess we are moving away from the "word count" thing. I'm not even going to ask for reasoning on that one.

There's only one (sic) possible correct answer!

See, I was going for the drinking game angle, not the brain teaser one. Didn't we hijack this thread to death already? Wanna move on?
*Still curious as to what radix gives you a result of 10 when you count 13 individual items......but not curious enough to look it up. Not to mention, my brain's trolling firewall is going off like crazy.

Hi all, I am looking for advice.
My biggest kite - 11m 2016 pivot is soon on the end of its life, I could ride it from 13knots with my 73kg weight
I am looking for replacement but not sure what to get.
I am intermediate rider and looking for kite with good low end that can loop ok.
My other kites are core gts 4 9 and 10m and thiniking of getting something that should fly good on core bar, maybe fone bandit, north evo,dice or another core kite xr5.
Please help me decide, cheers
For your weight, I would consider the single strutted 12 ULTRA and hydrofoil for under 10 knots
and a ULTRA 15 for TT (at least 44 cm wide) for >10 knots.
They are so light that can turn on a dime (small inertial mass), so looping shouldn't be an issue.
Another advantage is their drift in lulls. They just don't fall and don't overfly above your head.

Your words.*
* Word count = 10
Your word count for "Better how? Present some evidence or the issues you found with the kite." was 13 (decimal)
My word count for "Your words." was 10 (binary).
I was pandering to your predilection for obscurity.
