My Comments:
have only riden the 7 meter three times since buying, most wind from 25 knots to 30 knot frontal winds in waves on a underground freewave,
its a great kite when its realy windy, my req for a high wind kite is, not squiarlly , stable , good depower and functional flag system , the vegas has all these attributes. very stable in gusts doesnt twitch , nice linear power stroke to sign in frontal lulls, i was able to wip the kite around playing in shoulder high waves on my first two sesions i had while up in exmouth at the local wave spot. i jumped from a 7 meter rebel to this kite once the wind hit 30 to 33 knots ( wind surfers came in to swap sails so it was nuking) i have never flown yet a high wind kite under 7 meters i like... tried a few but they all seem a little too twitchy for my tastes and style of ridding. i like the vegas in the waves as i wasnt getting ripped down the line with movements of the kite like i would more flat kites, i was able to get more turns in because of this even though the wind did flatten out the waves a little more than it had bfore it picked up
moderate bar pressure, nice barsetup although i shortened the bar throw to my comfort level
excelent service from kitehards shop, they are worth a demo even for high wind waveriding.
sorry no wakestyle imput!
