I love this kite, and have seriously been considering getting a smaller one, though I am undecided. Maybe I need a big one for light wind days... Hard call really...

I like it.

I sure do love the outlaw, the best open cell depower kite on the market today. I had a 10m demo for a few weeks.

1 - turns fast, flies fast
2 - Smooth and fluid
3 - Stable great with gusts
4 - great lift
5 - Excellent in light winds. It weights less than other closed cells Flysurfers

see that thread for pics and videos

The only reason why I dont own one is because I am a true Flysurfer lover and use mines on water

And that is what will get me in trouble. I love my Outlaws, and I think I might need a smaller one, but I havent even learned how to ride in the water yet. I am heading in that direction, and it would seem like a bit of a waste to buy another land-only kite if I end up on the water...

Maybe I just need to start buying Psycho's and call it good...

BTW, there is an 8m in the forsale section

i think the outlaw is the best opencell kite on the market. not because i own one but for all the feed back i get from other kiters that i lend it to and the technologie that,s behind it. the reason i am compering it to an ozone is for it,s the most sold kite on the market. and i did my research and demo,s and even rented one ( frenzy and manta) 09. the pop from the outlaw is big but so smooth, it dosent feel like you are being yanked into lala land and droped like a rock, the hang time is like the manta but you can do 2 kite loops besides the manta even reacts..if you are the rider that likes more or less presure on the bar it could be adjusted in a min. i flew my 10m in light wind and in high it doesnt take much to get this pupy to pull, and i was surprised to kite in 40+kms winds. the thing i like when you r trimed in all the way the kite dosent loose it,s pop and hang or it,s caracter.
all kite have up,s and downs, the down side of the outlaw is the funky looking chicken loop and the bar. i would rather have a high tech kite in the air and deal with bar and loop. my 2 cents sean
