What's the wind range for this setup? How about if the board was 135?
Have offers of both, trying to decide what to buy as it's good gear with massive savings for me.

Cheers

There's a fair few variables given you haven't said what kite and what board, let alone the board width... but at a guess i'd say...
10m kite + 125 TT i'd say ~19-20kn minimum.
10m kite + 135 TT i'd say ~17-18kn minimum.

Ah yes, sorry only had limited info on hand at the time of posting, got a phone call saying this stuff is going really cheap but didn't get the details written down.

with the 135 board you should be able to get going from 14-15 knts at 70 kgs

hi i make my boards, and i find the wieth is importent and often over looked.
eg to get more light wind abilatys a 39-42 can also help,in sted of going for lenght.
i use a 126-41 for medium light winds too strong winds im 85 kg +....
my kites are 5m,7m,9m, so chosing the right kite for the wind also helps...

um - I'd go for the guy who actually knows wat brand and model of stuff he's selling. At least then you know your buying from a kiter not a theif...

I weight 70kg's also and with that Flow - your looking at 17 knots to be comfortable.
