Hey Matt,

I had 10 n 12 dos's and ordered a B3 to replace my 10 as it gets used the most.
Then I demo'd one..... They're nothing like the dos mate trust me.

I'm an F-one fan but ended up getting a 10.5 Helix as it felt better for ME after 2 day demo. Mind you still waiting 4 weeks after paying for it to receive it.

The bandit 3 is a perfect wake style kite once you get used to it, you will find that it is way better than the dos. You dont get that mental bandit grunt strait up the kite is verry smooth it turns faster when you are holding the outside of the bar but when you are holding the inside for wake style tricks it has a small dead spot in the steering and is verry hard to lose controll of. I absolutly love mine at the moment especially for unhooking the bar and chicken loop are just perfect for it.

If you do like the grunt of your 10m dos and it suits the conditions well that you ride look at getting the new 11m as the bottom end isnt quit as grunty, but for your size the 10m would still be good.
