Hey mc, dave here.. I'm 75 kg and an advanced rider.. rode the 9m from 15knots up till 40+ knots on a 129 lunacy. The low end will depend on your kite and board skills, but I'd guess you'd be going easily in about 15 giving the kite a bit of work..
How are you liking the Fuse??

i think 40knts is abit of a over exaduration. perhaps 30 - 32 knots sounds more truthful

dave maybe thats you on that video thats going around on the lake , haven't tried the fuse yet, got it for maui ,
looks like a 9 and a 13m rev will do the trick from 10-35

40+ should be in the wind range for any 06-08 bow kite

I haven't used the 13m yet as waiting for stock and demos of them, but I would guess will be a really good quiver. ps yes it's me on the video and It was over 40knots no exaggeration. Not on video (as the guys were changing the tape) was the 3 biggest jumps I have ever done in my life one of which was a least 1.5 times the height of the big one on the video. I came in and landed the kite after as I was scared and shaking from how high I was, didn't think I was coming down.. The kite handled it fine, I don't like jumping that big in water only waist deep way to scary..
Andy has riden the fuse all year in the waves and loves it, hope you have a great time on it in maui please let us know how you go.
