What a fun kite to fly. winds in the 10-12 range. Higher at times. Easy, forgiving, and good performance. Not race kite performance but able to get up and down the beach with very little effort. Winds SSW and could go anywhere I wanted to. Good downwind very stable and recovers easily if ya screw up somewhere in a turn. Was able to reverse launch easily from the buggy and continue on. Bottom line it was just fun. Would like to compare with with the soulfly 6 or 8M. Also, seems to have a very good wind range window. I started flying it, it was pulling me around in the buggy easily on the hard packed sand. Soft sand was a struggle. Switched to the 10m century. When the winds came up and I was moving more sideways then forward with the 10, I went back to the Brooza.

A short video with the Brooza can be seen here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCPPxmJjD38 , Taken from the back seat. Towed the tandem buggy around very nice.
