Most would disagree that Airstyle requires riding a single kite 100%. Only Toby does that.
Most? Who is most? You?
So, u doing Airstyle in 30kn? 25? 20?
Funny, Ive never seen an AStyle in 25-30kn with 9m kite. Or we call a board off Airstyle?
Tell us please, did u ever attempted triple rotation on 7m kite with a board off? No? Well than...
Downunder, why are you always so confrontational? "Most" means "most kiteboarders" or, if you prefer, "most airstyle kiters". You know what it means, you just want to be an a**hole. Chill out, dude. Go kiting.
Apologies.
I have a problem if someone is speaking as authority on the subject in the name of others. I know quite a few Airstylers around my local. None is using a small kite in strong wind to attempt Airstyle moves.
To jump with 7,8,9m kite in high wind is not Airstyle. Even if one is really good in jumping. Or, RedBull King of Air would be called "RedBull King of Airstyle
This was discussed so many times, but obviously, some can't or won't accept this.

To help >90kg rider in his seek of the best kite to learn Airstyle I say loaded 5th line. Others say Soul. Fine. The opinions differ.
However, others did not provide some info about why Soul? Other than it jumps really well. In small sizes and high wind. Or with a HF in big sizes and less wind.
All of that does loaded 5th line on LEI. So, judge for yourself after trying many kites. But here is a problem, TRYING does not cut it. One would need at least 5-10hrs to *try* the kite if it suits.
So to demo the kite in one sesh is pretty useless. Sorry. It is.
