I have heard good reviews about the 2010 Argo 9m and was wondering if there is any news/reviews on 2011 model. Can't see anything on the Monkey Kites Website
Ask this guy if you want info from the source.

Is the argo still the surf kite, what a great kite that has been, feel sorry for those caught up in advertising and hype ,may never get to try an awesome kite,keep up the good work chris. When to be released ?
Sounds like nobody who gives these Kites a go is stoked with them. Might be time to join them, thanks for the info
Our website is getting redone as it's out of date, but you can see some picts of Aya on her trip, congrats to her getting 1st place in a freestyle comp against 25 kiter chicks on a 9m 2011 Argo. http://griffinkites.com.au/2011-images
Ps, Typo in your message? "Sounds like nobody" "Sounds like anybody"
hey Chris can you explain to us the differences between the 2011 argo and the 2010 argo.
can you also tell us what sort of kiter the argo is aimed at verse the chimera.
cheers
My apologies to those who have offered comment on my questions, bad typing. What I meant to say was from the postings nobody had a bad word to say (only positive) So looking forward to giving it a go
Hi 23jetty
Changed over to Argo last year.
Great kites, easy to fly, Good wind range and it looks good
I love it.
How many struts does Chimera have, can't quite make out from the pics? Is it also 4 strut?
Out of Argo, Chimera and Griffin which is most suited to freestyle/wakestyle and unhooking?
i rode griffin kites for 2 yrs in that time i used 08 09 010 kites they came along in leaps and bounds and have become a nice kite they still have a little way to come but u will not b dissapointed with there performance
Radman, you sound like your loving the chimera, i have been riding the 9m argo for 8 months love it. 70kg on surfboard, riding waves and jumping, is there an improvement on the new argo ,or would you jump on the chimera 9m ? thanks
Havent tried the new 9 argo yet but have ridden the 10 about a half doz times and its a huge improvement on last years,even more stable more grunt, quicker and bigger windrange the 10 is as quick as last years 9,if you were thinking of changing the 10.5 would be the kite in the chimera to replace the 9 argo.
i had the 10 m argo out in over 30 knots the other day the boost and float was unreal, and have had the 10.5 chimera out in anything from 13-35 ,my preffered kite at the moment for most riding is the 10.5 chimera as its just about as close as i can get to a one kite quiver,however i sold my demo the other day and now im missing it ,but my new one should be here anytime and its a custom so looks hottttt, will post some pics when i get it.
Whats your weight radman? are you into the waves on the chimera. does the the chimera 10.5 turn like the argo.
Is that adjustment standard on the new chimera, also is boost bigger on the chimera ,upwind capabilities?
I would say boost is about the same ,the argo prob has a bit more float but its marginal,the 011 has more float than the 010 though,if the mini bridal works it will become avail with the kites,i reacon it will work but time will tell, am itching to try it might have to get one of the guys to come up this weekend and throw it on their 10.5.
