Sea Devil is popular but not the Fearless. Why ?

I have the feeling (whatever that's worth coming from me) that the Fearless is a less well-rounded flyer.
And, I think it doesn't help that the SD is already such a solid kite (tricks, precision, build quality) with a great reputation. I love Lam's kites, but because the SD has become home, I have almost zero interest.
Love Lam. Makes a damn fine piece of kit. (I love to use your word 'kit'.)

Well, the flat spins look good, that's for sure. And certainly the backspin cascade is easier than on the SD. 
I'll just throw this out there: Although it's still not candy like on the Cosmic, the SD does a very sweet taz machine. So does the Nirvana.
I am fascinated by the way the multidimensional space of 'tricking' has been hollowed out by combined forces of explorational pilots and designers.

Oh, you should post that in response to John Chilese on the GWTW forum - he seems to think that 'yank and spank' flying is a load of toss (I have interpreted a bit).

I thing the SD and for that matter all of Lam's kites deserve their reputation for build quality and performance, but I've never been able to stomach the cheesy (IMO) graphics.
I don't want a kite with a face on it (selling point for the 8-14yrs market granted) or something that resembles a garish tattoo (appealing to kiting bikers maybe?). I can't help feel they'd all have a far stronger following if Lam did a patterned or even plain single colour version.
Cue sh*t storm......

A NOHD will be published for the DS in due course, till then wear sunnies.

I for one really like the face/graphics. Particularly on the Fearless - very nice. IMO, these are not just kites, they are works of art. Best build quality that I have ever seen on a kite.
Aside from that, try one if you can. Even if you do not care for the applique, you will quickly get used to how well the kite flys.
I've done the reverse with the SD and Fearless. I started with the Fearless and am curious about the SD. Fearless is so sweet, however, that its likely to remain a curiosity for quite some time.
