Now I'v had a good lot of sessions on my 2013 Griffin Argo, I thought it time to put up a review.
My overall impression is stoked. It handles quickly, predictably and has more power than I expect from a 10. Its great as a one-kite-quiver because of that range and I don't know I would gain that much from getting a larger light winder (if there is enough wind for decent kiting, Ill be right on the 10m... though I would if I had the spare dosh :)
Pros:
-(like I mentioned) handles well. Very responsive, predictable in all conditions. Very easy to fly without watching/recover without crashing kite while falling over or underwater (very helpful while trying new moves/pushing old ones)
-that said, super easy relaunch
-plenty of power, good range of trim
-simple trim system
-one-pump (goes without saying)
-kite bag better design than previous years
Cons:
-bar depower range could be better
-inflate valve is the threaded type :P
-no finger loops at the bar end of the control lines (on 2010 bar, a finger loop allowed u to give just one line a big pull, very handy)
Great all rounder. Great to ride. Love every session on it
