First run with Raptor 12 today, approximately 18 knots.

The "low end" power is less compared to the Rally 12 (2018) so if with the Rally you can cruise with 12-13 knots, with the Raptor you must use a bigger board.

But the fun part is on the top end...

If with the Rally 12 my2018, 20-22 knots are doable but with the kite totally powered down, with the Raptor instead the "Top End" seems to never arrive! Today with 18 Knots the kite was with the depower rope totally out (max power) and in cruising I needed to keep the bar pulled at half travel to go...

The Raptor is a bit faster compared to the old Rally, with less bar pressure, but jumps better and especially the hangtime is significantly bigger

Can't Wait to use it in 25-28 knots! If you like to jump big, try it!

Just as well he called them “valuable improvement” then.

What’s wrong with you that you insist on dissecting every reply and with the only aim of denigrating someone else’s opinion?

If I wished to be uncharitable I would suggest that he's on the spectrum. But I'm not, so I won't.

Well I am and he most definitely is.

I also think maaaaaaaaatttthheeeos is a retrd

Foiled at KOGL with 8m Raptor (not a foiling kite but it was just laying on the beach and was a good size to take out).
One thing stood out to me again, same as in June session - it does stay put at the edge of the window when wind is light and lines are barely tense (especially flying it static, when wiping off the board) which is awesome quality in my opinion for any kite.

Thanks for thinking of me! I am going to be a happy retired. Or is that not what you meant? Still, thanks for thinking of me.
