Hey mate been riding argo for the last year ,all sizes 7,9,10,11,13.5,tons of power and speed ,awesome in the surf and relaunch is just about automatic,try to get a demo on one you wont regret it ,if you give chris at griffin a yell he should be able to help you out.
I ride the Argo 9m (and 12m Griffin)
The Argo is a very good bit of kit, I won't post more because there's plenty of positive reviews around for you to peruse.
I have been using the Argo 9 for the past season and with a 6'6" and a 6'1" I can get going in nearly any condition over 14 kts. In the surf the Argo is fantastic and the customer service is great from the crew at Griffin. Definitely try and demo one.
saw some pics of the new 2011 griffin bar today. It looks nice, new metal cleat, push away release, mini 5th running through the release, self orienting when unhooked, swiveling donkey dick, it even has elastic to keep excess depower from flapping about, all up it has pretty much everything I want in a bar.
I also heard they have a new kite "the chimera" or something for this season, no pulleys wave/ freeride kite. Any body got any info on it?
Interesting.
Does the Chimera drop out of the sky when you're not hanging on to the bar?
I tried an xyz delta kite again last weekend, blew me away how powerful they are!
The huge down side was I had to really hang onto it otherwise it would just fall out of the sky.
The kite took a lot of concentration to fly, I like to just cruise around.
Deltas would be very good for a kite school. I thought the whole concept of having to "hold on" for the entire session over the top.
I could have kited another 3 hours on my old kites with the strength used for the 30 minute delta session.
