The new 10m Ocean Rodeo Razor version 5.0 is a wonderful kite. I only tested it with out the pulley locked out as I am strapless surf style, it works great in the surf. It is better in all aspects compared to old versions of this kite. It feels lighter in the air, more nimble, feels lighter under powered, less bar pressure but enough so you do not need to look at the kite to know were it is. You can choke it up with more power and when the wind lulls it does not back stall at all. A very stable high performance kite, very tight solid feeling.

If you like all that, you should try a BRM Cloud!

Merely pointing out a kite that has those characteristics is hardly trolling or poaching. It is a friendly suggestion made in the spirit of wanting to increase people's stoke when they ride.

Just had an Awesome Session today on the Ocean Rodeo 2015 Razor 8m and the Duke at Crissy. Def a fun board and kite. Def seems a bit smoother than last years Razors but let me get a few more sessions on it to give a full review

Tony, Agree with cleepa, reading your comment (tho contradicting to the review in some points) immediately reminded me on how I felt about cloud and why I replaced my whole quiver to clouds. Try it one day. If review is correct and OR razor "pretty reactive, similar as the F-one Bandit" you will be stoked with what cloud brings to the game. No trolling, just my personal impressions.
Good-bye... and hello... as always!
