My dads lookin at a new kite. He weighs 90kg, and the wind that we will most likely be kiting in is bout 10 to 15 knots. He wants something with a really easy re-launch, and something that is stable in the air. Also he is only at the beginner stage.
hi guys, not looking to step on any brand however since skiddz's dad looking for a cab sb2 might as well try the cab contra 16 built for the big guys. i use a 14 and as a self-taught guy alternative to windsurfing it pulls like a bulldozer and rock steady too in freaky winds..however, your dad might need a real big directional board to start with...cheers
hey skiddz, ive got a 19m 04 fuel and a 16.5m 05 cabrinha contra that you guys can have, you just need to pay postage. they are sitting in my shed doing FA. maybe someone up there can get some use out of them?
but your low speed NT winds are reasonably steady so a large c kite would be o.k. too. I weigh 90kg and learned on a 14m c in Darwin, but used a 17m C most days. go meet the locals (they're friendly especially if you bring beer....heiniken if i remember rightly) he may get a go on someone else's to try. or if you're not in a hurry there's geoff at funsupply.
