hey winds been pretty light lately and im in need of a bigger kite i have an 07 havoc 10m and need a lite wind kite , there wouldnt be that much diff between the 10 and 12 havoc in the 07 range so i wonder if theres anyone can recomend good light wind kite prob last years so i can get around 1000
bit of an update looking at a 12 m airrush flow is anyone riding these lite wind just dont wanna blow all me money on a kite that aint much diff to my 10
Hi Nathand,
A better idea would be to look at picking up an Airush Exile 135 x 47 board. It will increase your bottom end dramatically and will be cheaper if you can find one, than buying a kite.
A 12m Flow 07 or 08 is a grunty kite. Would have a lot more bottom end than the Havoc. See what is on the classifieds.
Or wait a few moths and buy our ex rental one.
Good winds,![]()
if your boards ok, you should get up and going on a 12 no problems from about 12 kts, and be thumping in 18
Get a 14 and you'll have the perfect quiver. I'm 75kg, have a 10 & 14 myself. I travel with these 2 sizes and a board around the world. Wind range: 10/12kts-35kts.
I use a 2007 13m Best Waroo and a 151 x 42 liquid force board and can get up in 11-12kts, and can stay upwind at about 13-15kts if the wind is constant. I am 92kg as well.
This size board is no good over about 20-22kts though, and when Im finished 'learning' I'll get another smaller board and perhaps a smaller kite to handle the 20-30kt wind range. You should be able to pick one up for $350-400 second hand cause their not that expensive new when compared to others.
I wont hurry upgrading, cause theres no bloody wind in NSW ![]()
Overall, Im very happy with the 2007 13m Waroo performance and can recommend it to anyone - especially round my weight.
i weigh 65 and i got a 15m cabrinha omega for my light wind kite. my mate weighs 95 and he can use it in the same wind.. and he is amzingly crap at kiting. i stick with a 9m and a 15m. then you dont have 100 kites laying around, saves you money and you are still covered in any wind range, eccept the wind at the moment
minus 7 knots
alright so im goin for argumenr a 13 or 14 now the agument is go the havoc 08 14 or branch out to say a best 13 or something else
