Hello, I need an advice. I am wingfoiler which started parawinging. I went to the parawinging because I lost my patients with ripping bladders, cracking of valves and windows of the wings. Si I started learning parawinging. I am using converted Flysurfer Peaks 4m and 5m. Using them I can fly within 11-16m/s wind range using 6.8’x22 and Sabfoil Tortuga 1250 foil. So for going lower 6-10m/s, I started to look at the foil kites. My idea is to choose the kite with which I could ride mountain board (I could learn in the near field before going into water), then foiling with my downwind board 6.8’x22 board and foil. Mainly I will use on inland lakes, launching from the water.
So I am wondering should I by 6.2m parawing or 9-10m kite. My budget is limited and I am not able to buy 777 7.2m parawing.
At 82 kgs, I use my 5.7 PW (Triple7 Hybrid) in 6 to 10 m/s all the time with a 95 litre mid (6'3'' x 20,75) and 1076 cm2 foil (Axis Surge 1010, also use the 950 frequently). I can stay on foil in less than 5 m/s for sure, down to maybe 4.
