9 and 13 chaos that's a risky gap unless you have something in between.

Got a 12 and 9 Vegas on the way. And new cabrinha caliber can't wait.

well as a kitepower team rider I will have access to other gear if needed, however being only just over 60kg the 9 will be for over about 18knots and the 13 for below that. Becuase the chaos doesnt come in a 12 that wasnt an option.

Fair enough, I would be worried the 13 will become too big for you at 15+. But I suppose by then the 9 should start to work

Did you demo the Vegas? and if so.. how different is it to the 2012 Vegas? They seem to have changed the shape a bit. A more rounded wingtip than last years model. Be interested to hear your opinion?

Nope havnt demoed yet, I have high expectations. I will be demoing the day the shipment arrives and making my decision. Got the cash ready to throw, and kites on my way.
Another purchase will be the new 9m park for my girlfriend, she really liked the 2012 but couldn't get a decent color from runout stock.

I reckon it will probably be pretty different than the 2012 judging from it's shape.

I do like the graphs on the new park, specially the orange/blue one. I bet it will be a great/easy kite to fly too.
