Hi there race gang... im after some light wind kite advise. im chasing a light wind kite for race board use that is stable, im not after the best upwind i dont want to have to worry about it overflying in light wind and falling out, just a fun light wind weapon...stable and grunty for acks etc
suggestions?
Thanks
Marvin are they still stable in gusty light conditions? what wind keeps them in the sky?
also out of those suggested for a 100kg rider which do you think is an easier light wind rig?
thanks :)
How bout a x19 ? Good fun on a raceboard in light wind , tame to fly and relaunches in lighter wind , will fly in 4-5kts easy.
handfull when it gets over 15kts though which is where the big pump ups come into their own (bit more forgiving)
A fair few crew on the 19m in perth, most of us 90-100kg. Epic low & high end, and all year round pretty close to most use kite. Bot far from being favourite kite in the quiver... Obce you around or under 10knots, water is silky smooth and you still hammering along at the 19m goes through the gears as tge apparent wind builds up! Demo one, you wont look back
There's a solid thread on the 19m in the gear review section, heaps of feed-back from different kiters and different style riders
