This kite doesnt exactly turn fast, but it is not annoyingly slow either. The amount of power generated in turns is plenty, and what makes this kite stand out from other large kites is that it has the right amount of front to back line pressure. In light winds the kite doesn't flare easily and you can give it a fare share of back line pressure in as little as 4 or 5 knots. Apart from this the kite has a light feeling to it. You can move it anywhere in the window in very little wind and be confident that it won't drop out of the sky or overfly you because it is to heavy. (As long as you keep the kite moving)
iKiteboarding had two other 20 square meter kites on hand to compare the best with, and we have found that the one brand was too trim sensitive and would stall at the slightest bit of back line pressure, while the other brand would simply not fly in anything less than 9 or 10 knots as it was too heavy and kept on falling out of the sky after repeated attempts to launch it.
