My Comments:
I have tried the new 2011 kites from most of the major brands, and the 2011 Switchblade is my favourite by far. My 7m is a fantasitc riding kite. It boosts big, pops great, i always feel where it is at and is nice and stable when I unhook.
Changes:
Straight back line connections.
Direct steering and faster turning.
Lost a little bit of bottom end but the faster steering compensates.
Lighter bar pressure, and spring keeping bar in reach when letting go.
Greater riding comfort.
Graphics.
Nice. Clean lines and cool colours.
No swirly art nouveau stuff, silly animals or girly colours.
A great kite! Suitable for everyone from beginnners to advanced riders.
