Wow what a day, started on the 12 Rise, something not right with rigging so quickly switched out to the 16m bronco. Then the wind picked up and desperation to get to shore kicked in, barely made it, contemplating ditching the kite. Rigged the 10m up and went crazy, LOVE that kite. Wind settled down after 20minutes so switched out to the 12m bronco. Cruised on that for half hour then decided to give the rise another go. Inflated the kite even more (the side was flexing when I was putting pressure on the kite) and headed out. Rise is definately a grunty kite, was lit to the gills, but with that depower range found the sweet spot. Definately a interactive kite with the adjustable stopper and cleat. Super fast turning as well. Overall not a bad first real run. Jumping wasn't there, but more than likely it was me as I was still getting used to the quick response time of the kite. Used the make for the first time as well and well, sweeeeeeeet, love love love. What a great day.
