Hi,
i flew a 12m Type 9 for a while and got following to say,
the kite is well made, quality is great, single pump system, 4 lines .
I believe the Type 9 is more for an advanced kiter due to its great responsiveness and ability of ultra fast turning. I liked its performance best between 18-30 knots, i am 82 kgs.
The kite is ezy to relaunch, has plenty of pull and air time is great, like most 08 kites.
Our Teamrider Tim flys the Type 9, he had a choice of several brands and fell in love with the RRD Type for it suited hes powered up wake style the best, i guess.
send me an email if you wanna have a try, again, personally i believe its a kite which is more for the advanced kiters..
hope that helps a bit..
have fun
Mars
