My Comments:
Ever since I saw the prototype pictures plastered all over the web I wanted the chaos.
Recently prior to getting the chaos I had rode cores 2013 C bridled Gts2 and also airrushes 2013 bridled c kite and found both felt a little stone age and rough around the endges. So I wasnt expecting great things from the chaos and was a little worried it might be a bit to extreme for me.
However once they had arrived and the wind was good enough I took the 11 out on an average day and boy was I impressed.
I got it out and cruised around for a bit while I got used to it. It was quicker then I was expecting and having come off a slingshot rally it compared well enough.
Dropped it in the drink and relaunched this wasnt as smooth as I had hoped due to the C shape making it harder but it got back up eventually, however later in the day when the wind dropped right off to about 10 knots it was a monster to relaunch to get back to the beach and to many attempts.
Jumped fine, nice and lofty.
Then I started getting a bit braver and thought I would unhook. Firstly tested out by hooking in and out a few times which was smooth and then a few attempts at some raileys which went well considering the low wind. However I was most impress with the kites ability to unhook and just cruise along for a minute holding the bar then hooking back in after 50metres.
Overall I was very impressed with the kite and it had none of the issues I thought it was going to have. Can't wait to try the 9m out in some more wind.
Highly recommended if your planning on progressing into some unhooking.
