I should have perhaps qualified my statements. I have ridden the Rise every year since 2007. Each year I have a full quiver. Each year the kite has become better. 2007-2008 was a big improvement, 2008-09 was incremental, 2009 -2010 was huge, I wrote on here at the time that it was like a 30% improvement.Cvaradero wrote:Ok, we must be talking about a different Rise here.
1. Didn't loop great (although the 2010 looped pretty well)
2. Didn't relaunch well at all
3. Didn't power through turns very well.
Really? Are you kidding me? Sorry Ghost but I can't agree with you on this, I have had in my quiver the 10m rise for a while, since 2009 the Rise it has been a kite that relaunch super easy, fast and with no trouble whatsoever, I don't know with year you had or what settings you were using on your Rise, but I can tell you different from my experience. Every year I try back to back different kites brands and the Rise is always one of top 3. ch
Every day, where the hell do you live? I want to move there I ride 100 times a year and feel guiltyCvaradero wrote:Ghost, I have been riding since 2001, and riding everyday, literally everyday, so I think I am well past the intermediate level, let's leave it like that The Rise is not a C kite (I miss the C kites) and for been a SLE is a wicked kite, as i said before it is one of the best SLE in the market, so when I wrote my previous post i had this in mind, that's why i didn't agree with you on your statement. I will be adding a Razor to my quiver and I will wait for the new improved Diablo.

I agree totally with Ghost on P2 and P3 after I have used the Rise from 2008. Earlier I had a 10m 2008 and now I have a 12m 2010 and both have the same behavior of those points. It relaunch but not very easy. Of course it depend on the wind but if the wind is light, it's very hard to make it turn around and you must instead use both back lines to get it up from water or snow. I think my 2008 10m was easier to relaunch than my new 12m.Cvaradero wrote:Ok, we must be talking about a different Rise here.

Am I the only one here who disagrees with Ghost? if thats the case, I am the one who ended with a unique special edition of Rise just for me, because I wouldn't change a thing on mine.
PS the Razor is a wicked beast! I do agree with you on this
cheers
