So I'm looking for that 12 to 16 knot range for a kite. The zeph might be a tad too big. I have a mako king, not the best light wind board but no slouch. Then again i like to be lit nowadays. Reckon the 15m C4?
ATM I have one working kite and that's the 17 Zephyr, now I was timid thinking I would not take it out over 12 knots but I take it out to 16 knots and now game enough to take it out a little higher then that (that's pushing it tho), however in 11 knots with a 149 chopstick there's no going upwind even with my weight. Also taking in consideration that air density is much different in Broome then it is down south.
Thankfully the winds have been great in the last week or so since I got my Xenon board I have learnt toeside, good airs, pops, and back roles all in 2 days with a 17 zephyr while other more experience riders in similar weight were happy riding on 10s if not heavier.
Non the less I really like my 2010 zephyr ;)
And thanks to those advice given too
