What I hate most about that product clip is that it shows me how gullible I am. Send help please.

I want to change from Bandit 2019 to Duotone. Which kite you would chose for big boosting in strong winds and for lighter winds for foiling? Not so easy. Normally I use 6,8,10,12 Bandit 2019 and they did all quite good. I am not sure of the Dice 2020 jumps better then the Bandit or to choose the Rebel. But I think in 12 the Rebel will not relaunch as good as the Bandit in 8-10 knots for foiling.. quite difficult

Sounds like Evo, maybe Rebel. A german review website made a video saying that they managed to relaunch the 12m Evo in 8 knots. Maybe you like the Dice more after all, you have to test but I'd say Evo>Rebel>Dice. With the Evo you might even be able to go 7,9,12 since the windrange is bonkers. (This opinion mainly comes from talking to people on the beach and watching guys kite, I only have the 12m Evo)

5th line is the answer if you are really afraid of super low wind relaunch. You will relaunch in lighter winds than ever before.

That’s right.
The next question is what kite to chose if you come from bandit 2019

People always want 1 type of kite, but why? "They fly the same and it's what you get used to" is only true to some extent, a 12 will always handle differently from a 9. And eventually you dial into your kites anyways if you ride them long enough. So get the type of kite for the conditions you are going to use it in. So lightwind foiling days and some TT floaty boosting get a 12m Mono, and for stronger days get a Dice/Evo/Rebel. I think coming off bandits, Evo or maybe Dice will be closest.

True, I have the 6,8 &11 Rebel and a 15m Juice from Duotone so I cover a wind range from 12 till 50 knots.

Any1 knows how the Dice compares to the Bandit in jumping performance?
