Hi,

I wasn't sure where to post this - so I thought I would start here....

I've been riding for a couple of years... and I'm going to Geraldton WA over the Xmas Break for a few weeks - cant wait! I normally fly a Cab 14m and 10m kite on a North 142? 2010 Xride and weigh about 100kg.

I figure I will leave my 14m behind, and take my 10m but should I be looking at picking up an 8, 7 or 6m kite? Which one? Any thoughts form the locals?



Cheers.

Hey Jezza,

Grab an 8m at 100kg you should be right. Gets a bit blowey up there in Gero town

30 knots is not uncommon, in fact it can pretty much be the norm.

Enjoy!
