Anyone managed 30kn on the 4m?
I am 76kg and have 4 and 5.5 Dlabs but not been in over 20kn yet on the 4m.
Is 30kn realistic for 76kg with experience as I have done this previously with other windwings but 3m?

Caveat that i'm not very good... i'm 95kgs... I took my 4m standard Unit (2022) in 20-35mph a couple of times, just because it is my smallest wing and i needed to get my fix... i found anything around 30+ was too much and i'd have the wing depowered. Others were on 3m Mantis (2022) in the same conditions.

I'm thinking you would want smaller than 4m in those conditions.

I'm around 85kg average skills. Took the 4M couple of times in 25-35. One certainly needs some skills to handle the power, especially in strong gusts. Better matched with a foil that doesn't offer much resistance.

Switched to 4M F-One Swing and was cruising comfortably.
