"Saturday: SE winds 13/18 knots and reaching to S/SW 20/25 knots in the afternoon. Seas 1.5m rising to 2.0m. Swell to 1.5m.
Sunday: S/SE winds 18/23 knots tending S/SW 20/30 knots in the afternoon."

FN eh, I'm rested and ready

Sounds like Wello 2day... 15-20 NE, increaseing 20-30 knots in the afternoon... My 10m was wayyyy 2 big for even the 23 knots because it was gusting soo much, and even a 7m in the more strong winds I could just hold down for an hour or so... Talk about choppy and overpowered (safe though), but loving it

I used a LF M80 7m for the first time today, and seeing I am so used to my 10m Cab Element, I found this kite to be excellent! (I used my bar and lines and it was perfect!) It flew so well, and even though it was small, it wasn't too fast, and it was very responsive... Loved it

Hey Fitzy, It's been a while!

That was the plan until I had about four straight weeks of head in the textbook assignments, with work and kiting in between, and then an exam last monday...However, now uni is over for four months and I'm desperately in need of a smaller board for the great 20+ knot winds we've been getter here lately .

I've got all the great info you gave me on design and style, and everything, and a few ideas from some other sites, so I'll see how it goes.... A 125-130x30-35 is on the drawing board, and I'll have a shot at it in a few weeks if we don't have any wind...! Let's hope we do though

Cheers Fitzy... I'll let you know when I start and how I go along the way

Im leading the R@D side of Fitzy business and shall try all boards for considerable amount of time. Theres also talk that he may $back$ with a leading pro rider to develop a kite that will be available in '07' throughout Aust. Cannot say too much ATM, but talk is he's looking for local riders throughout aust????
