We got one 10m and three 12m in stock. I rode the 10m for about 15 minutes, but my unrelated injuries were so bad, I couldn't even jump. I'll have reviews as soon as I can. In the meantime, kite porn:

Not to worry Frank, it's an upgrade. Ocean Rodeo doesn't wait for "new model years" to make small improvements like that.

It's worth noting that the holes referred to are in the canopy and not the Aluula. The canopy is not made of Aluula.

How are these?

The HL is just not as light or stiff as the A-Series. The upstroke is a little slower on the HL etc. Same with the Drift. The A-series is just a little better. Sorry, I haven't taken an Enduro in the waves.

It feels a little lighter, faster, and more solid than the previous generation Dacron Roams. The wind is always on-shore with crappy, messy, small waves here so I've never even seen a barrel. So, take my wave reviews with that in mind....

I have ridden both, more of the Crave than the Flite, but still a bunch. I don't know that the low end wind ranges are that different. At the very low end of any kite I find a lot has to do with the current, waves, air density, lulls vs. steadiness, skill, board, etc. The differences for me were mor...

7m Rise test. It's feast or famine -- it's either too light or too strong for the 12m. But I loved the ride on this 7m. It is the most stable, solid, and precise 7m I've ever flown. I'm never going back to Dacron.

Actually, we've had other 12m's, but they were preordered so we couldn't take them out for video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7DiJ6KZgkc I regret to say, I'm 190 pounds, the wind was 7-17mph, and the board is a Stylus ...
