Yea buddy!,
The new line-up is sick! I think you will be fine with the 7.5/10.5/14.5 quiver.

the 7.5 has better low end this year and also the 10.5 is the perfect middle size, sometimes the 9m was just slightly to small. Last year i flew the 7/9/12 and this year im right there with ya with the 7.5/10/5/14.5.

I almost think the 10.5 is the perfect 1 kite quiver size. it's got enough low end to do away with the 12m, and also with the short line setup i could fly the 10.5 well into 25-30knts.

Yo Mlwahler, Where ya located? we could try to meet up and get the kites to you to try out. See what ya think first hand.

I'm in Buffalo NY...so you've actaully ridden the 10.5??? I wanted to hear some actual feedback on it compared to the boss and smoke....some shops have said good things about but I haven't talked to someone who actually rode the punch or Mr green

Sorry for the delay! (baja internets)

I've had a lot more time on Mr.Green rather than the Punch. But judging from the quick sesh on the 10.5 I would say it feels a lot like a scaled down version of the 12m, Turns faster and definetly has more pull than the 9m Smoke....a lot more within the range of the 12m.

I'm loving Mr.Green! Already I've had more sessions on it than the 7m Gypsy of last year. Its amazing to think that 0.5 meters makes such a difference.

I have not ridden the 10.5 but I have to say I love my Smoke and Boss, but if I were buying a new quiver, get the new stuff. 7.5, 10.5 and maybe the 14.5 for the really light wind. Just my $.02
