I second the 12m cab Xbow... that WAS my one kite (that i used) for a year. I still rarely take anything else out!

14 meter Vegas, 06. Love that thing.

I vote for the T2 11 as well. The X-bow 12 is nice, but not quite as sweet as the T2.

I would have to agree with Chris 13 fuel.

good post/question

without hesitation a 13 waroo pro. But there are lots of good options out there.

Have to go with the 12 CB3, although waiting to fly the SB3 as it might be my new favorite. I also thought the T2 was nice, very predictable and allot of grunt. For me the magic is in the Cab and I would have to still say that even if I wasnt a team rider

Heather - Hands down the Cab 10m SB2, having a forgiving, slower turning/responding, super easy relaunch and ultra stable kite made all the difference for her enjoying riding and staying upwind - no more time out chair!

Anna says the 9 meter Waroo. She was going better in the light wind with that thing this summer than I was on the 14. That is a great kite for range and versatility.

Going "BOW-RETRO" - Trusty 2006 12M Cab Xbow

Mike W - what's better about the 11 TD2....and I wonder how the xBow3 compares.....

Rob H - what did you like more about the Cab??

The TD2 jumps and hangs better than the X-Bow. It is not quite as quick though. Easily as much power as the 12 X-bow.

RobH · Post by **RobH** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 8:53 pm

Great question, I only flew the TD2 for a short time so I really cant give a valid comparison. Others that have flown the CB3 believe it flies very close to the original 2006 Xbow with a bit more hang time and better construction. My perception is the bar preassure is less than the TD2 but again I didnt fly the 2 kites back to back so could be wrong.

It really comes down to what you value in the kite and taking them out for a demo as they are so many great kites. Bring on Summer and some demo days!

Tighe · Post by **Tighe** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 2:28 pm

And the funny thing is the winner is a 2 year old kite!

I admit is was a winner. Almost as good as a T2 ; )

Actually, Avery, with all due respect, how do you get 5 votes for the xbow? I see NJB, Bryce, Dave Z and Nancy (isn't yours a XBOW II Nancy?). So 3 or 4 depending upon Nancy's kite.

Either way it'd be on top though
