Got the Furia 1 and love it. Nice and fast. Been keen to try the Furia 2 but haven't got around to it yet. What didn't you like about it?

Generally takoon's are pretty good. I haven't had issues with any of mine when it comes to bridle lengths, but you can check it here to make sure its not a problem:

This is how the config works though.



I normally run middle on the front and 3 on the back.

The Furia2 is a great kite. In most case it is the same as a Rev just with more grunt & much faster. I think if you spend some time on the kite you will love it.

Nah, not yet. Should be shipping soon in a 13m. It'll be difficult to compare it because my Furia is a 9. The 9m will definitely be way quicker (no surprises there).

I'll give a run down when I've had a chance to test it. I tried the Rev 1 and that was pretty damn good so I'm guessing the Rev 2 will be a step up.
