Did you buy it from a shop? If so they should have known better to sell you a Torch if you were a beginner.

Good luck with the swap

I am in this situation and I find your comment interesting about learning with a torch...

do you think it could be ok learning with a torch?

I am not a full beginner, I already have some runs...

I will be interested to have your point of view, thanks in advance, Roro

Yep, nothing wrong with the Torch, just a lot more grunt in the middle of the window so it will keep you on your toes and may cope a pounding once in a while.

Also a lot harder to relaunch quickly.

Basically, if you learn on the torch then you go onto a 4 line bow kite, it will seem so easy but you will always miss that unbeliavaible grunt of the torch.

I may be totally wrong because my Torch is 2008 and the new ones are probably way better????
