Found couple of reviews, everything seems solid. Classic Cabrinha.
Could it be used as "lightwind" with 140/42 flat TT, at least 10 to 16-17 knots, 70kg, beginner in hm, flat-minimum chop? Does it stay in the air little under 10 kts?
Anyone did "no pulleys" mod on this kite like on some other older kites?
Asking only because i could have deal of the century since my 10' 12m Cab Switchy (barely flying in about 10-11 kts) could have it's funereal soon. I presume they have similar power. Also very possible to use it on snow, cruising in the field on a snowboard.
Damn, really a shame! I try to weight out between 12 switchy and this. According to specs, its little lighter so it could stay in the air 1-2 knots under in comparison to switchblade, well i think it can at least, with 2 struts less too. It probably needs little work before it gets some speed right? Can it handle 16-17 kts?
At 70kgs I think a 14m kite is too big. The wind range for you would be small and annoying particularly in gusty conditions. I fly nothing bigger than a 10m Ozone Reo (surf kite) at my weight of 64kg. As I've said before a light wind board would be more beneficial.
Yeah, was little worried it would be 2 much when it picks up. 12m getting my ass around pretty easy in similar winds so... better stay off. Ill consider some door. Thx!
Bah like KIT33Rr said, it would be 2 much for me, very narrow range yes. 70% winds here are gusty so it would probably yank my bottom 2 much. Summer winds can be from 12-21 kts and sometimes 10, gusting to 17-18 :\ Lw board and 12m, just need to find light kite. Thx
