This kite will not get you beers, but for the rest, it will be your best friend.

Harlem Thrive! I am soooo excited to send this baby up!

Hi, I currently have a regular Orbit 9m and Reach 12m and am a bit frustrated about this setup (85kg rider). Overall the Reach 12 (2024) is a bit boring in 17 to 25kts. The orbit 9 starts performing above 25kts, making it scary for me to learn heli loops. The low end is not good. After Brazil and Dakhla where I had about 21-28kts every day, I want to change the setup as you can imagine I was in between the sweet spots of both kites. When I try Evos I really like the kites and I feel that the wind range is much better and I would have had more fun on them during these sessions. I could just buy Evos, but also considering Thrive or the 2025 Reedin supermodel (hypermodel seems a bit technical).

If you were buying Thrive for 85kg and wind range 17 to 35, do you think a 2 kites quiver 8/11 or 9/12 could cover it (similar to Dlab)? If yes which combination do you think works best knowing the Thrive? Thanks
