Make up a shortlist of what your keen on and demo as many as you can.

Come and demo the Ozone Reo's and Cabrinha Drifters.

AIRUSH ONE is would also be a great choice!! This kite is designed just for wave riding.

As much as it pains me to agree with Stevie but he is right. Try the Reo's.

Sorry for being 'Off topic'
(maybe i should start a new topic ozone reo vs cabrinha drifter )

I'm tossing up between the ozone reo OR the cabrinha drifter.

Tested the drifter on the weekend but the wind was gusty it was hard to get a good feel of the kite...

Any thoughts on the reo vs the drifter??

I'm coming off a ozone catalyst 2011

Cheers,

James

Closest to the REV power wise would be the Ben Wilson, they still have the grunt you would be missing with all the other mentioned models,

Not as fast though, so it depends on your style.

Not tried the drifter, but the Reo is awesome, similar speed to a Catalyst 2m smaller,ie 8 handles like the 6.
But with less grunt through the turns so you don't get pulled off the face of wave, all the guys on them in perth are frothing
Worth a demo
