Hey Scott, the new Kima is last years Nano refined. The size that I notice the most difference in is the 9m. It feels more like a 9m this year and it has become more of my bread and butter where as last year I was always on the 6m. Now when the winds come up to steady 20+ I'm sure I'll be on the 6m again.

We get more wind like that and I'm going to have to bust out the 4m Kima. For all you light weights out there, the 4m Kima is one fun kite.

In the past, I've never really been able to enjoy a 6m let alone a 4m. Eclipse has changed that with last years Nano and this years Kima.

I got at least 5 sessions on the 4m last year and it is one fast kite yet not twitchy. It creates power from nowhere and can be shut off in an instant.

If you like riding the coast when it's nuking and you're not a big guy, you definitely want to try this kite out.
