Topic: What size REV?
Replies: 14
Views: 3412

The turning speed of the REV 15 is similar to my '07 Fuel 13, though I think the REV is a bit quicker overall. And as far as its boosting, unhooking, etc., it seems to do pretty well. I've had the 15 out in 10, gusting to 20 and was super powered (but not out of control) in the gusts. Around here th...

It's hard to say gkram, but I'd still be thinking more along the lines of the 13m. Around here (in the Gorge - flat water), on a twin tip, you'd most definately be on a 13 for medium kite wind (~20) at your weight. I'm riding 7/9/11, but I weigh ~145lbs and only ride twin tips.

Again, sorry I can't keep everyone happy... Just posting up a vid of Mark. To the positive guys, thanks (especially kitedayzed - HILARIOUS)! :thumb: And as far as the way the kite loops, it's still not totally like a C, but it's pretty damn close. Definately closer to the Fuel than a T2. You really ...

Wow, this thread is fun! Anywho, I've only had a few sessions on the 15m (it's normally too windy), and it's definately a solid kite. Feels almost identical to the 13m, but with more low end, obviously. Coming from Fuels, I'd say it's turning speed is comparable to my '07 Fuel 13, if not a bit quick...

Don't have any more vid at this time, but possibly soon. And as far as the depower, it really is awesome! Can't/won't compare to other brands, but the range is huge on these kites. Most all of us that have been playing on them a lot are ~140-155lbs and the 7m in 35-40 is still completely managable (...

Thanks marcfrm and Dano! I thought about keeping a few more relaunches in there, but to help keep people somewhat interested in the first run through, I opted to cut some stuff. Ya know, just to keep the pace up a bit. Hopefully we can get another video out in the near future!

As far as the safety goes, here's a few things. The kite's bridles were configured to help prevent tangles (kept short, etc.), and from everything I've seen and actually done myself, I've never witnessed a tangle or any other problem that required getting out of the water. Yeah, the kite may spin on...
