Hi Tobes,

in which wind strength do you use your 10 m Speed?
I might be interested by one of these beasts...

also:
what is your weight?
what level are you at?
what is the size (length/width) of your board?
Do you ride on flat water or on the ocean?
which color are your boardshorts? Errr no, not that...

Thank you!

Fred

Thanks for your responses, Tobes.

One more question though. Do you know the minimum wind strength you require to go upwind?

I currently use a 7m Extacy and I need about 20 knots to stay upwind. Still improving though...

Other details are:
75-80 kg (depending how much I kite)
intermediate
156x38 board
ocean


Thanks

Fred

Geez, all this attention, as if having a topic in your name wasn't bad enough.
Not me, but I was in Sydney on the weekend, seems I've only got to unpack a flysurfer and some guy asks "are you tobes?"
The kite you saw was the 13m. Friday arvo was windy, 18 knots? That kite is one of the best light wind kites there is, other guys were probably on 12's? So, it's like he was flying an 18m LEI. Probably looked smooth because if he turned fast he would have been blown away. In the smaller sizes Speed's are really fast, turn fast and you can work em for more power.
I have the 17m which should be like a 25m? LEI, it flies fast for a kite that powerful, but not as fast as a 17m LEI.
It seems Flysurfer aren't making them fast enough, the importer is having trouble getting enough into Oz.
Only a few days to Mambo! Woo HOO!
