Joe,

The wind ranges on the flexi site are very conservative. It really does depend on a lot of factors when considering low end ability of a kite. If you want to see a 14.5m Ion2 then have chat with Brooksy he has a 14.5 and a 10.5 ion2 and is in the brisbane area. I'm sure he'll let you have a go if you ask him nicely!!!

If not then Onedge should be getting a 10.5m in this week.

Cheers

Matt

Joe,

Like karve said - ask nicely! If you happen to be around Wello on thursday afternoon, the forecast is looking good - I'll have both my kites in the car, probably the 10.5 up if the forecast stays the same.

The 14 is surprisingly quick, it definitely doesn't feel like a 14 in the air. I'm not sure about flexi's published wind range, but I've had it in 12kt up to the very low 20's on a 128 board. I typically like to ride as small a kite as possible so I haven't pushed it beyond that, but I was comfortable so 25 is not out of the question, and more for the bigger guys (last time I checked I was about 80kg). At 12kts I would have liked a slightly larger board but was holding my line fine.

Cheers

Definitely Dave!

Not sure when I'll next be heading up, probably not for a couple of weeks - work and study rule at the mo.

those damn rocks!!!!

Hi Brooksy,

We are planning on going up to the north coast maybe next weekend- if there is wind, and if it is possible to meet up , I would appreciate having a fly of your 14.5 ? We will drive through Bris , on the way to Maroochy, so I 'll send you a PM prior to see if you are available.


Also, I think justdoit's avatar has a couple of valid points..

Yep, just let me know when!
