I have a 08 rebel 14m which I use from about10to 20knts(very top!!) and weigh about 75kgs, I have just bought a second hand 09 10m... What do you think the rouugh windrange is (not believing the north figures :-)) ! Any tips for the 09 kite ? I am just working out if I can get away with a 2 kite quiver of if I need to add a 7m or do something even stranger !!!
I used to kite with old school c kites - wipika amps etc and coming back after a few years gap - but LOVING it again !
Too many factors for wind range on a kite but by far the biggest is rider ability and experience. Why not use your 10m for a while and decide if you need a smaller one at a later date?
I've got 25kg on you and use my 14m from 10 -20 knots and my 10m from 20 - 30. My partner rides a 12m, 9m, 7m combo.
If you look around there's plenty of 09 7m rebels for sale and they'd definatly make the top end more enjoyable. My partner has a 09 7m and she loves it.
09 rebel tips -pump it up hard (9psi), close the clips in the one pump system, and get the extra nose line that goes from the pump leash attachment point to the y-bridal - it's free from your local North reseller and comes with distructions.
