Forecast today has WIND :) So, we should have wind and water late this afternoon at 3rd. I'll be there with the 8,10,12 FX. If you are into fast kites, looping machine, light bar pressure, and easy line slack for unhooking, give it a try

I got to try both the 10 and 12.

Fwiw, here's my 2c. FX is as advertised, much faster turning compared to switchblade or chaos. Slacks well because you can edge against the kite, but it does not drive to the edge of the window as much as the chaos. Sits between a switchblade and chaos but with less bar pressure.

I would just like to add that it glides through the gusts quite well, maybe slightly better apparent wind than the chaos at least. If you guys get a chance, give this kite a try. It feels really natural to ride and is quite a lot of fun. For jumping it has better hangtime than the chaos, but maybe not quite as much as the switchblade, for some the turning speed will make up for that. Great for intermediate-advanced rider, and it relaunches just fine.
