I was flying a xbow lw 13 and felt it did me well except the bar pressure which caused my elbow problem. Am now on a 2011 cat 14 which is better on bar pressure, but feel the xbow was better in the real light stuff.Am 80 kg and want to kite in 9 to 11 knot range . Only just received my nugget so have not tried it yet.Was considering a 15 edge as I think the 17 is to big at my wieght, but would consider a13 edge over the cat if bar pressure was less.
13 edge was about the same bottom end as your 14 cat. but a lot higher top end. at 82kg I can ride up to 25knots and hold down a 30gust if need be.
At 80kg you should be able to hold down a 17 edge/zep to at least 20 knots
9-11 knots need a monster kite or massive raceboard/foil.
