Hey! I'm wondering what would work better for me: a 13.5m Core Pace, a 12m Core Pace Pro, or something else. I'm 105kg and struggling with my 12m RPM in 15-17 knot winds (it starts working at 18 knots, but not below). 15-17 knots are what we normally have at my new home spot. My current riding style: lots of heliloops and slides; I used to unhook, but I've shifted away from that and don't really worry about unhooking performance anymore. Or should I just give up looking for a fun twintip kite for this wind range and go foiling? :)
A 14m Ozone enduro might do the trick... I have one for sale, if you're interested send me a PM.

Thanks mate, let me do a bit more research into Enduro first.
RPM would struggle with those wind speeds, North reach 14m could be a good option and a larger board. The obvious advantage to foiling is you don't have to constantly wait for the stronger winds although learning to foil in light winds takes time.
I'm also 105kgs and 14-17kts is great fun wind with my 9m Airush ultra single strut. Powered foiling, wave riding, up to 25kts speed, small jumps if you want. Why grovel around on a TT when you can be having a ball at full speed on a foil?

Thanks! Yet another kite to look into. :)

Yep, foiling - that's what I currently do with my old 8m Airush Lithium :)
