Was that you at lake weyba this morning?

I was riding my girlfriends 9m Takoon this morning (normally ride a 12m and am also 80kg) and it was perfect... but don't forget that the winds we are experiencing today are really unusual, up to hurricane force type winds. Winds up here are normally only about 15-20kts so a 12 is perfect for you... i think if you had managed to get your kite flying you might have got into trouble today as the 9m was really powered up for me and when i did a couple of jumps I got LAUNCHED!!

If you have the money, go for a 9m as a second kite... if you only have one kite and can't afford a second stick with the 12m and wait for the sort of winds we normally get here... hope this helps

I was out at brighton in brissy untill i was getting hammed due to lack of experience.
Started a 7.30 till 10am so got in before it got too much

Were's lake weyba?

I woud recommend that you don't wix your quiver, so stick with the cults, they are excellent kites anyway.

Why not? thats one of the worst bits of advice i seen you type steve. What if the guy wants kites for different conditions? i.e. one for dingly dangly wakestyle and the other for uncool posing in the waves?

allkind - try a few different brands if you can. i.e. demo to see how they feel. For what its worth the best kites are great , value for money/performance etc.

Hi Desmond,

Most of us use two kites. I ride a 10m Flow SLE for normal conditions and a 7m Flow SLE for when it's nukin'. I also sometimes ride a Vapor, again 10m and 7m.

Also ride a 9m or 6m DNA for surfing on a Converse board in waves.

Being a school owner I have access to lots of kites but still basically only ride two sizes.

We have a good range of 2008 demo kites and sell new ones too. Come for a visit if you want to try any of the above mentioned kites. We also have 12's in all models.

Good winds,

not a bad idea crazzzzy, think i even have someone in mind

I ended up getting a 9m Waroo at a price i could not refuse, hopefully get out with it tommorow.
