Got already the Chimera 8m and waiting the 10.5
Would like the windrange and the reactivity of the Chimera as well as the Argo's low wind grunt 
.
Chimera or Argo in 13m or so to replace a 2009 Nemesis 12m?
Any comment greatly appreciated.
Have a nice ride.
The argo has a better bottom end than the chimera, so given this kite will be your large kite I would go the argo, I have heard Chris say in other posts that the argo is his goto kite in the bigger sizes, chimera in the smaller sizes.
Hi Seeya!
Have a look at Griffin web about Chimera 2011 (information recently updated):http://www.griffinkites.com.au/about-the-kites/2011chimera
On Wind range and Sizing they say textually --> "The Chimera is available in 5m, 6.5m, 8m, 10.5m, 12m and 13m ( we suggest the Argo for light winds and larger sizes ).
I understand that Chimera 13 is an option for heavy weights.
As a bigger kite for light winds, go for the Argo. I use the Argo 13.5 most of the time here in Spain.
All my best!!
If u already have chimera id buy another chimera i hate having 2 different kites, if u like ur chimera buy another one if u dont maybe trade it in and buy 2 argos.
Been riding and testing chimera and Argo for a while ,I prefer the chimera in 6.5 ,8 and 10.5 but you can't beat the Argo 13.5 for the light stuff in the 12-14m range,the 13 chimera is more like the 11.5 Argo for wind range ,has maybe a little more on the bottom but nothing like the Argo 13.5 ,both griffin kites so all good.
