Looking on input for the wave kite with the best upwind performance.

Live in perth, love going right, but find that a lot of south in the wind means its out of the question... even when its south west could use another few degrees of attack.

Ive been riding reos since 2012 and have a full quiver of them (2012-2014s), but looking to upgrade to new ones this year or next.

Had a couple of waves on a mates Core Section and I didnt love the way it flew but it seemed to track upwind better. Didnt drift very well - my understanding is the better the upwind the worse the drift. Might have to demo one to have a proper go

Any other options I should be exploring?

TIA
