Don't get the Revolver 14, will not fit the bill.
The Contra 14 has a great low end, but it is not going to pull like the Crossbow 16, especially with a current in the ocean. That 16 is a truck. My vote for you is to hang on to what you have. Between those two kites, you have incredible range. |

you would be better off to get rid of the 12m and buy a 9m instead,
then you have an entire range from 10-35+ kts with a 16m & 9m

Going out with a 9 m in 35 kts. + at 160 lbs.? I weigh 30 lbs. more, seem to recall near maxing my 9 m SB (old one too) below 35 kts.. I picked up a 7 m for conditions like that.
Here is a real important question, what wind range do you want to realistically cover?

Yes Rick,
I used the 2006 9m crossbowI very comfortably in the inaugural Tampa bay kite masters racing event and it easily went that range , none of the other 9m CB's that came after the 2006 had as much top end as that one and I would have to switch to the 7m on newer kites in 35+ The 2006 16m also had huge range! easily to 24-25 I don't know if the SB's had the same range, prolly not
