My Comments: Hi all. I am looking at getting 2013 10 mt Fuse, I am curently on 2011 Fuse 12mt with 2011 Laluz 135cm. Conditions I ride in are choppy with a little flat but not much. Love the boost and upwind ability of the Fuse. Have put this kite through its paces and it still is going strong apart from the depower line which I think is pretty easy to change once you have done a few.
Anyway I would like to have a bit more of a play as in Freestyle tricks. Not major as the knees are starting to get a bit worn out, just a bit more fun on the water as I think the Fuse has limits in that department. By the look of the Norths performance chart in the race,freeride and freestyle section I will be losing some upwind ability and a little height in boosting but gaining in others.
But will the gain be worth while sacrificing upwind and a little height??
I will try and demo the both when possible.
Any feed back from Evo riders would be appreciated.
Thanks
unless you want to be un-hooking a bit, stick with the fuse... as you said it boosts better stays upwind easier. the evo sits a little further back in the window making easier to unhook but it wont boost as well....
