Has anyone compared the low end of the 12m Halo vs competition in same kite ratios ? (like Soul/PulsionS/Hyperlink/Nova/FRS) ?
I have tried the 19m in very light winds (maybe down to about 5/6kn) and found the bottom end to be really good on long lines. The Halo loops really easily and with stability and good pull so its easy to get up on the foil and once up it gets moving nicely. I have put it in the water twice in super light conditions and once I got it back in the and the other time had to do a pack-down so I'm not 100% sure about light wind relaunch yet, but with long lines I am hoping to not have it in the water very much. Overall the Halo is an awesome kite, I like the 19m so much I have ordered a new 15m, I reckon its the best of the "free-race" kites.

The test last week of my 8m , 18-25 knots TT board ...
One relaunch at the end and one "moon fish" , not that rare on my spot ; gentle but still impressive with its size and "shark-like" wing
