Not sure about the Monkey or the Pansh but ruling those out the blades are going to be the most aggressive, lifty kites - and the 7.2 should be pretty
floaty.
The 4m blade II might be a bit on the snatchy side so treat that with caution. It is small, fast and lifty so it could catch you out in a hurry if
you aren't careful and its canopy is not huge so it won't have the float of the 7.2.
Beamer's aren't designed for lift - doesn't mean it doesn't have any but it is more designed for pulling than lifting so you will be able to get some
air with it but it is not a blade by any stretch.
