Hi Benoit.
I (85 Kgs) have been using the 14mts CO2 2004 for several month now, and can strongly recommend it to anyone.
Although it does wobble a bit when overpowered, you can fully depower this kite in almost any wind, which gives it a very large window of utilisation (12 to 25Knts) and makes it excellent for waves.
The relaunch is astounding with the recon, I have droped it in front of a wave on its face and instantly managed to reverse relaunch by pulling both rear lines at once.
This is practicaly the only kite I use although I own more than 20 different ones (kiteschool).
If you are around here anytime you can test it, this way you know what it is about.
Regards
Nico

12m CO2 is really good. Good jumping, excellent relaunch, safety, etc.
You can't go wrong. I own North rhino2 and rhino04 and I like this kite more. North graphics are better and its all about 'looking' good isn't it?
Cheers
Henrik
