Hi. I'm thinking of buying S3 as my first parawing (I've never tried it before. But I have kitesurfing experience.) and I can't decide whether to go for 5.3 or 4.2 size. Could you help, please?
I ride the KT Ginxu Dragonfly 2 Pro Carbon ( 110L ) with a 1305 Duotone Glide. Conditions on our lake vary, but I intend to use the parawing at around 15 knots (which usually means ~20 knot gusts) on my local lake. In such conditions, I use the Duotone Unit 3.5. My weight is 85 kg, I do gybes (regular/switch stance), pump with legs when needed (wind luls, faster start).
Reading through this thread has made me lean more towards 4.2, mainly because I have an effective board that I can pump and I can upsize the foil (I have a 1595 Glide and a 2195 pump foil). I'm concerned that 5.3 would be with my setup easily overpowered. But that's just a guess.
