Ok so current fave, depending on conditions is 7m Cab drifter with 2013 cab trigger 5 ft 8, sweet combo, very impressed with Peter Lynn Fury 11m as a racing machine![]()
I should qualify that I started kiting in Dec 2002, with lessons from Ian Young, hence started on foils, moved to LEI due to bows coming out, then tried Delta's, original delta's pulled like a elephant on steroids, very satisfied with SLE surf kites now, however never say never.![]()

Out of them my 3 favourites along the way were the 7.5 Bandit, the 6 Kima and the 7 Method (all time fav).
Man I gotta sell a few kites, pretty much only fly the 5,7 & 9 Methods and they are two years old but I have no desire to buy anything else ATM.
Sat down and did a list. You know it's bad when just about every kite at your local spot is either owned by you, or was owned by you at one point! And you can remember the year of major occasions in your life (marriage, childbirth etc) by what kite you were flying at the time
