HI guys,
Can anyone CONFIRM the exact projected area of the North Rhino 12m for me? The North manual and some website say 'Projected Area = 6.8', whereas other good sources such as Kitesurf Magazine (International) states 'Projected Area = 8.8'. Which one is correct?
The reason I need to know is that I'm looking for a smaller, higher wind kite. Seen a good price on the new Gaastra 7.5 G-Spot which looks interesting, but also considering a used ARX 7.5 or something similar. If anyone has any good suggestions for a suitable high wind kite(18-27mph) to go with my 12m Rhino, please let me know.
(If needed, I'm 84kg, and use an Olry 186 and a Slingshot Darke 147)
Thanks,
Stace
