Okay so, I'm guessing a hybrid kite is a cross between a C-kite and a bow-kite? Is that right?

What are the advantages and disadvantages to the hybrids? Has anyone here flown a hybrid yet? Are these things new to the market?

I just saw that slingshot put out a new hybrid, the Link. I might go read up on it. But if anyone has any actually flying experience with one of these hybrids I'd like to hear about it. I'm looking to get a 12 meter soon and wouldn't want to miss out on the new stuff if it's any better.

I just got done flying a 12m Link this past thursday at Marco Island. Let me tell you, if you want a kite that can easily de-power, very forgivable and has incredible performance, the link is for you. Know keep in mind tho that this is my own opinon and you should probably do some research on your own, but for my money the link is awesome hands down.
