I recently had a Naish Fly from 2013. I am 74kg and I used it a lightwind kite next to my F-One Bandit 8 & 10.
I felt the Fly from 2013 was a bit too overpowering when the wind would pick up or be gusty, so I wasn't so happy with it.
But I want a new lightwind kite - and I have heard good words about the 2015 Cabrinha Contra but also the 2015 Naish Fly...
What are your experiences about the two?

Cant talk about the Fly, but i own the Contra and its an excellent kite, all you need for those light breezes, it also comes as an old school weapon once the wind picks up

I had a 2015 Contra 15m. Nice kite , well built . starts pulling around 11/12 mph. IMO Its a great kite for a heavy riders who need the horse power , or newbies who need the simplicity of a park and ride kite. This kite just pulls , no need to work it. I found it slower than my 17m Flite . It will depower in the upper ranges but you really need to push the bar out. I picked up a 14.5 Flite and find it almost as powerful but more playful and sheets out better.

Ocean Rodeo, interesting. Well, a lot is possible, I am not fixed on the two. I wish I could test them, and others, because reviews is one thing, but personal feel is everything...
Thanks for input, keep sharing views please
