yep i have a 10m and 6m sb3 and im 53kg i love the 6m, sooooo fast! i use it in anything over 14 knots but with a 4 knot outgoing tide. i say get 1 if you get high winds sometimes or kite in a spot with a fast outgoing tide. or maby a 7m


check this out, don't know what the Converts are like tho.

NEW 7m
they are designed for high winds and the safety functions with relaunch are awsome, i have the 11 but have rode the 14, 9 and 7 as well. the kites are solid
i recomend you find your closest demo person and have a ride, they're a smooth kite.

ps were do you live it could help with supplying a person who has a demo or just check out the site www.newkiteboarding.com and have a read.

20 to 30knots is a weak little breeze, 35-40kn is high winds.

However, I can't even get out of the house my balls are so huge...

I had a switchblade 1, 7m for about 18 months. Very good high wind kite for me, I'm 64kg. I now have an Ozone Edge 7m which I think is slightly better - bigger boost and very stable in gusty conditions. It has less depower than the SW and is much lighter on the bar but still has feel and no pulleys.
