I've got a demo 9m FS in Sydney in case anyone is interested. I don't boost two tips so I don't have an opinion on the kite myself, but mates who have tested it have commented that it boosts hard and high and you have to like your kite loops to get the most out of it. Good hang time. Flip side is it feels a lot less grunty than a Rebel etc. I've heard one rider call it fickle, said he had to really work it to find its sweetspot. Good hangtime but too much work. He doesn't kiteloop though.

Jan Zoon tested one recently and broke his personal record on his first try (27m+). He seemed to like it.
