Consists of a Mal over 9ft and any kite under 13m.

I think your topic should say "Who's going to pimp the hardest!"

[}:)][}:)]

Any of the 16m flat kites should work or if you're a heavy bastard, get a flysurfer 15m or 19m kite.

Other alternative is to get a skim or surfboard and use your existing smaller kite

14M SB3 and a biggish board!
Or if you are over 95kg 17M Contra3

any 12m bow and a home made skim board

10 - 15 isnt that light though

According to the North website and reviews on the net, the Rebel has a massive low-end. The figures seem a bit far fetched (12m low end of 10knots) but might be worth considering.

That or, big bar, wide wing-tips and a big board

Look for the kite which is pretty flat and has a small rigid leading edge (with a very strong seam ;-) - unbeatable apparent wind generation.......I know a very good one that fit's the bill, is about to be superceded, is going for good deals and would be perfect for your request in a 13m sizing. No names, but that would be pimping!

14m vapour!!!!

Wide light wind boards SUCK>>>
I just bought one rode it once and sold after that ride...
They might get u going but as a board they are no fun..
Get urself a Nobile skim board...
Fun and learn unstrapped riding as well..
Heaps cheaper than a light wind board and so much fun.....

If your budget is not too tight:
Definetly a Flysurfer SA19 combined with a spleene door(45 wide) or even better a spleene monster door (55 wide) is the way to go.

There is no better lightwind setup.

My experience is that a board (door) has a significant impact on the lightwind performance of any kite. With this board you might get down depending on your weight to 10-11 Knots with a 14-16 Bow. The door has a lot of flex which will allow you to ride it as well up to 20 knots and it does not feel as big as it is.

Additional 2-3 knots improvement can be achieved with the SA19 means going down to 8-9 knots considering a weight of around 95 KG. For a 60 kg it would probably mean going down to 6 knots. But with using a SA19 you will be able to go for some jumps already with 10-12 knots and you can change to a small board with 12 knots and above. The upper limit is 20 knots with this kite and a small board.

Yeh that's just me I have a low wind limit where I go do something constructive.

Maybe its light enough to go surfing.
5-10 knts onshore wind is difficult times
