Hmmm...completely buy the flatter kite is a monster in big air. Care to explain the light air performance?? I just know the the "stock" N20 kite is much more powerful in under 5 kts of breeze...I mean the whole boat is more powerful in under 5 kts, but just looking at kites, the deeper kite lets you drive down deeper and keep you in the puffs longer. Maybe it's the trimmer...I just can't stand to bring my helm up any in those conditions, the angles just get too bad on the F18 (and F16).

I do agree the stock kite/main/jib are faster in typical W/L course racing than the 20...the whole rig package is just a world away from the 20...much prefer the Infusion in over 15kts of breeze too.
