It is Amber's. I don't like bow kites and she is basically GIVING it away. It is BRAND NEW, great deal.

I have a 7 Fuel for hurricanes and the 12 Thruster will be for high wind up to 35 or 37 or so.

ahhh .. i think you'll have a better time in the high winds (gusty, etc) with the sonic as you'll be able to sheet through the gusts. I tell ya man.. it was blowing in mid 30s last Thursdays and only the most skilled were out w/o bow kites. You might not like them as a main kite.. but for those high wind days they allow you to have a much better time.

I dont think you would be having a good time in mid 30s on a 12m kite.

This is not a C vs Bow thing.. for me its a Fun vs Work thing. Gusting in high winds is a world of difference than gusts in moderate winds. I had my waroo bar ripped out of my hands a couple times on thurs. Never had that happen before. I would have been WORKED if not for the depower of a bow.



And yes... that price is sick. :P if i didnt have my 9m ...
