I was thinking the same thing. I fly a 14m Velocity
and it looks like higher AR. If so the relaunch will be interesting.

It is higher aspect and turns much better than I ever expected. Any big kite in light winds will be challenging to relaunch, but it does flip over in a decent breeze. I tried the 14m on a twin tip and foil board. Really looking forward to getting them soon for my demos and trying all the sizes.

The combination of the Apollo with the Fireball connector was a real pleasure to ride. I had been riding a more traditional kite shape and connector in the morning, then shifted to the Apollo and Fireball in the afternoon. The differences were easily apparent, less tugging in gusts, smoother control inputs and nice stable speed. Check them out in a demo and see what you think. I was impressed in a short time with the performance of the new gear.
