Thanks Kitexpert, I'm currently weighing up my options on a softkite for jumping with TT. I've been kiteboarding 18yrs and buggied before that.
Options so far are Sonic FR 15m, Sonic2 15m, Aero2 decisions decisions??
Sonic2's are a lot easier to fly than Sonic FR's. I wouldn't recommend an FR nowadays unless you're on a tight budget. The Sonic2 just does a lot of things better, with really no drawbacks as far as I can tell. More stable, less tip curl, better performance, etc.
I think the Aero2 is probably very good, but I wouldn't buy a "Super GT Race Kite" for jumping with a twin tip, just like I wouldn't recommend a Sonic Race or VMG.

I bought a used Sonic 2 13m for 1000€. Been out 3 times now in 7-14 knots. Once in 6 knots.
I'm new to foil kites and on Hydrofoil. I'm not having any problems and I make rider errors, riding under kite for example. I'm not having any problems flying it.
