I'm lookin for some advice from the smaller riders out there on what they are riding in the stronger winds. (ie 28+)
I'm only 65kgs and so far my Airush 8.5 Flow has served me well in
almost every kitable day this year. From around 12 to pushing 30knts.
But pushing 30 is the absolute limit and even when its over 25 its not as much fun in the surf on the directional.
So Im lookin at finally gettin a smaller kite for them windier days.
(Though preferably something with a decent low end too, so its not
only brought out when its nuking.)
I've seen all the bigger blokes drop down to a 7 on days when Im still on my 8.5 and was wondering what the equivelent might be for me to drop to. A 6 or a 5?
I'm considering the 5m REV2 (or OCTANE), but Ive also heard that Airush have 2 new 2010 models (coming soon) that will be available in 6m.
(Also wondering if the bars/lines are compatible to swap between the REV and the FLOW.)
Been hard tryin to find kites to demo at this size and was lookin for some feedback from what others my size are using.
Any info on these or other brands would be appreciated.
(A demo from someone would be even more appreciated and worthy of a couple of cold ones!)
Cheers.
