Quick question for ya.

I weigh 76kg and ride a Naish Park 12m. I usually start to feel overpowered when it gets over 20 knots. I bought a second kite recently a Naish Park 8m, I'm wondering what my likely range with this will be, will I be okay in 30 knot winds? Thinking of hitting Rosebud Wednesday morning.

Thanks

yea, should be fine in just over 30 knots on that 8m, id say your range will be 19-33 knots on that if you are beginner/intermediate. See you down there!

12m + 8m for your weight and wind range sounds right to me!

Get down there early tommorow it's going to swing but balnaring will be good in the arvo but I'm semy tempted to head down tonight. Any one reckon the seabreze might ruin the northerly or is there enough in it for it to stick around????
