Switch kites opinions

Has anybody tried Switch kites Method or Method v2 models? I am thinking of getting a new 7 or a 9m this season and Switch kites look like a good deal.

My buddy flies the Nitro 2 and loves it. He's also really fond of their build quality.
Contact one of their local ambassadors for a demo. Try before you buy!!! ;-)

Much appreciated. I'll definitely try to demo before making any transactions :)

I'm a rep for switch. I have a 7m v1 method and bigger Elements. The 7m method is a great wave kite for the coast. your welcome to demo it and i"m also willing to sell it cheap to upgrade to V2. PM me if interested.

The Method V2's are a bit better than the V1's. Switch reduced the bar pressure (20%+/-) and made them a bit more stable. They also kept the turning quick with good drift and good on/off depower. Great kites in the waves. Find me out at the coast this spring and you can demo. I have a 6M and 9m.

Cheers!

20% reduced bar pressure sounds quite nice. (stupid tennis elbow)
