More from our NW Team rider in La Ventana Matt!
I really like the 14m so far. Does'nt feel that big, and the turning speed is right there with the 10m. I was riding in around 10knts (at 185lbs.) and was able to cruise upwind fine, Nice floaty jumps and felt pretty stable during unhooked tricks. I did not put it down so i have no idea how the kite relaunches. But i've dumped the 10m quite a bit and its easy to relaunch. And the small briddle system is the Bomb...no stupid snags around the wingtip.
Can't think of anything i would want to be better in a big kite.
(consequently i've been using an 08' Eclipse bar which snapped on me yesterday during a loop....guess Eclipse and Epic products are not compatable)
