i am wondering if anyone out there with an 07 north rhino can answer this for me. i currently use 9 and 12 07 rebels. i love the kites but anything under 15 knots and im sitting on the beach. i have been looking at getting a 14 metre rebel aswell until i have read a little about the power the rhinos make. my question is would the 12 metre rhino have the same power as a 14 metre rebel as i prefer to fly the smaller kites as ive found larger kites in low wind equals no fun

The 08 Rebel is also fantastic in light wind and there may be a few second hand ones around ATM.

I just tried my new 08 14mtr Rhino on the weekend, IT ROCKS. Heaps of power in around 15-18 knots. I weigh 105kg and hope my new 14 will replace my 07 16mtr torch. Not sure how it will go under 15 knots but i recon it will be fine. Maybe you should look at a new light wind board instead of a new kite. Much cheaper.
cheers.

I reckon you need to go bigger than 14m if you want to go out at the ultra-low end.

hey im 100kg i was riding a 14 rhino 07 in 15 knots to 25/30, ive just got the 08 rhino 12 and i think it has more low end power then the 07,14.
i was out the other day and my mates were amazed that i was holding ground in 14/15 knots and smaller guys on the same size kite (not a rhino ) were going down wind....
hope it helps.
cheers

cheers, thats what i was hoping to hear. ive got a 17metre contra 2 for ultra low winds but the thing is so big and slow that id rather sit on the beach with a beer
