If you like the Peaks for the fantastic floating drift while you ride waves/chop/swell downwind you'll love the Hybrid. I haven't used the Hybrid 5.5m but I have used the 3.5m and 2.5m Hybrids along with similar sized Peak5 kites in a wide range of conditions. They have less raw power than the Peaks but after comparing the 2.5m Hybrid with the 2.5m Peak5 recently I'd say the Hybrids have more top end range and are easier to use in high winds as the softer feel absorbs gusts. And of course the Hybrid relaunch is very easy, though I've been very successful launching the Peak5's too.
