NICHOLAS A.B. I had the honor of riding this kite with 4 other similar models on the same day/conditions in Cape Town. My star selection is solely based on how it compared to the other kites. The normal orbit will work for most people no problem, but nothing really blew me away with this kite while using it. It loops ok, jumps ok, and does everything you would expect from a modern kite. The only reason for 3 stars is because it jump as high as the other kites, and feels spongy on the control bar. I wasn't expecting it to loop as well as it did, so there is a huge plus if you want to get into kitelooping.
