This thing is light. I flew the 12m. It turns very well and fun to fly, light bar pressure. Felt like my Ozone Reo but lighter. The wing tips flap a lot when you turn it fast, but i guess that was the trade off of less Dacron. The power in a loop is very smooth, not to much. Was impressed with how little wind is needed to fly. I think you could foil in 7mph with this thing unless you are a Lurch. Has absolutely no pop so don’t expect to jump with it. It will reverse launch off the water from face down. It kind of makes a foil kite unnecessary. Large foil kites in super light wind aren’t much fun anyway, turn like crap. And if you dump them you may never get them back up.

I have the 9m and love it

New V2 Xlite is out. Just in case you will come back to youtube :)

Great review. Now, I have to ask about the Boarder Collies! Are they yours? At least one seems to be in many of your videos.

Yes my dogs (cameraman)

i think the small bar is there for a reason, the reaction of the kite is bigger then a normal one, so to reduce the way of overreacting while maneuvering the bar, its like car with more hp having stiffer steering wheel then a lower end hp car. fix me if im wrong

Nice to see some dogs who are relaxed around a flying kite... I got chased 1 km by a dog while I was snow kiting... thing was trying to kill me lol

Hi Jan, Jens who was riding the 11m Xlite just wrote a review www.kitefinder.com/en/kites/1821/core-xlite-2019--2020#user-reviews

Weight? Relaunch of the water?

weight we don't know, relaunch great

Do you guys prefer using a foil kite when you're foiling, or do you prefer a light weight tube kite? If foil kite, what's your favorite and what size? Thanks!

@@Kitefinder Interesting. I can foil in 7kts (with a bit of work) on my 12m Slingshot Ghost, Cabrinha double agent foil 2018 (not a very big wing) and 24m lines (using my Core bar, probably not ideal) I would have expected to be able to go lower with a foil kite without having to use such large sizes. I'm still a bit confused as to whether foil kites are worth it or not. Btw, I normally ride Core and would have loved to get the Xlite but was told the Ghost was better for very light wind. Any opinion on this?
