Under the conditions of same board and same ability rider, the enduro will have a slight advantage upwind over the Reo but not crazy better like a Enduro/Reo to an Edge.

I've had a couple sessions now on my 10m. Enjoying it more and more each time out - better low end and boost n glide than 2015 Cats.

Has anyone got experience of the old Instinct Sport?
It had that Open C shape and i was wondering how do both kites compare?

Fully agree about the better low end. Had first session on 10m which everyone was surprised I was powered up. I wouldn't have been on my 10m Catalyst (2014). The 14m has been out twice again at bottom end and it's fine. As a result, I can see the Zephyr getting less use.

Any more thoughts on the new Enduro? Can anyone compare it to the 2016 North Dice or Park HD? Which of these three kites do you think is best suited for lighter guys (137 lbs)?

Hey guys,

I know this is a really old thread, but wanted to see if anyone has used the Enduro for old school/airstyle. I know the edge is the king of the airs for this discipline in the Ozone, line up, but how does the Enduro match up in your opinion? Still fun?

I have a 10m enduro and edge 13m (v8).

Edge will outperform enduro size for size regarding airstyle, but in smaller sizes I prefer the gust handling of the enduro, cause normally in the spots I ride, past 20 knots is always gusty. The fast turning speed of the enduro also helps a lot in boosting high and that also means is good for looping.

The enduro also has pretty good hangtime for a c-ish hybrid. I'm usually foilboosting with the 10m when I'm bored to fail trying airjibes and my foil still not broken :lol:

Do you think the 10m has enough performance to come around and catch you in a big powered loop in say 22-28 knots. I'm torn if I should get a 9 or a 10. The kite will be for big loops in sub 30, but am worried the 10 might be a tick too slow. I'm 82kg. :lol:
