Hi teabagger

I ride a 134cm board and am 80kg. I use my 12m Nitro a lot of the time and also a 16.5m Contra some of the time when its around 15kts. The guys I ride with use 14m Turbo Diesel, 12m Waroo, 11m Sonic, 13m Fuel etc etc.
Sometimes, like today you need a 9m (the wind is around 22kts).

I think my next ideal setup will be something like a 9m and a 14m Waroo or something similar. I reckon you could get away with a 12 to 14 most of the time here.

Cheers

Hey Dustin

Yeah, I met you and Lee on Saturday up at North Shore when your mate lost his kite...did he get it back yet?

Cheers
