Hi,
I have been riding the 12 m RPM kite for a few months now and wanted to share a few things about this kite. I rode TD2s for a about 2 years and the switch was super exciting.
I have now tried this kite with all settings and I choose the wake style mode with the least bar pressure. Front lines closer to the middle of the kite and back lines in the last pig tail. The freestyle mode is also great but I takes away that C-kite grunt that we like. It does go up wind better in the freestyle mode I think. At least for me.

To keep it simple here are there 3 things that I love about the 12 RPM.
1- Unhooks very well and carries power as you unhook.
2- I find this kite super stable and very predictable.
3- Launching in light winds. The reverse launching is great and can get the kite up with little wind. Saved me many sessions when dropping the kite close to shore and I wasn't able to touch!

Anyways I really enjoyed flying the 12 m and last weekend tested the 09 8m RPM. Same dynamics, faster kite or course but really predictable as well.

Super great kites. Cant wait to try the 2010 RPM, hopefully they did not change too much and kept the kite as close as possible to the 09.
