Trying to decide between these two kites. Anybody try both of these and got any input? I've heard some bad things about the Toro 2s ability to go upwind. ANY input would be great.

Thanks,

Mike

MY TORO2 16M2 GOES UPWIND REALL NICE! ALL YOU HVE TO DO IS JUST PLAY WITJ YUR BAR-I MENA YOU HAFE TO TUNE IT,,,

BYTHEWAY THE 5-=TH ELEMENT SYSTEM WORKS GREAT ON THIS KITE

Never tried a Toro but like the CO2 '04 in 20 & 14m. Even to begin.
If you compare a Toro to a CO2 '04 model, the CO2 has a higher AR, goes further in the window so goes better upwind

I thought the 5th element wasn't available yet?!?! And on a Toro2?

My advise, any moderate AR kite will be OK but BUY A RECENT MODEL (2004)

I have a toro II 8 m (2003), it has a point where you can attach the 5th element.
