I parawing the 75ML V2 and I'm 84kg and in very light wind. If you have good wind in your area, at 82kg you'll be fine on the 65ML V2. Even better actually. See, I still have a V1 55ML and 65ML. Even though the ML V2 is an improvement, I can feel the 10L loss, and I prefer that. So if I'm winging I still prefer taking out the 65 or the 55 V1 instead of the 75 V2.

I almost always ride light wind, so big wings (5m). I do a regular jibe when jibing toeside to heelside because I can reach the lines or leading edge if I need to pull it through. But on the PRV2 I found that whipping it around drawing a pronounce move forward, to guide the leading edge in the direction I want to go so it never depowers works perfectly well... and I can do it all with just one hand. Now, when going heelside to toeside, I can't reach the leading edge or lines to try and save a jibe so I almost always do a powered up heineken or behind the back pass. I like the powered up heineken, because just like on the other tack, I much prefer not letting the wing depower and flop.

Thanks for the feedback!! Looking forward to S V2 the most. 900 would likely be my first. I get to ride in winter, so hopefully I be able to get one by December.

If you can test the Code Black mast in 80cm (preferable, I know you like 75), that would be awesome. I'm eyeballing it.

Chiming in. I'm paying attention. I've filled my 5m, and 4m slots with a PRV2. But I'll need a 3m size soon. I just crossed out the POW 2 off my shortlist due to questionable high-end. When I need a 3m, we usually see winds go from 30 knots all the way to 50 (even though it mostly ranges around 35-40... so high end is needed. Current shortlist is Hatch V2, LTX and S3.



Gotta drop down to 2.7 for the S3 if you are looking at that kind of wind. I'd want the bar over the handle too. Just keep that in mind! 3.1m Hybrid could be a consideration for you as well if you want steeper upwind angles and psycho range.


Thanks. I'll keep this in mind. We get about 5-10 days like this a season, but they are epic and I don't like to miss them. I'm usually on a 3.5m inflatable wing in those conditions... but there are a few times where I've been overpowered even on that.
