" I Love This Kite"

Postby experienced1 » Fri Apr 02, 2004 10:56 pm

Mike used his new Cabrinha 8.5 BT Nitro RECON for the first time yesterday at Coyote Pt. According to Ikitesurf, wind was at times 20-25 and 24-30. Mike weighs about 175lbs and was using a custom mutant type board by John Forsyth. When he finished his session I ask how he liked the kite? His response was "I love this kite! It is stable/solid ...not twitchy at all, light in the air, yet I knew where it was all the time. Can't wait to give it a try at Waddel."

Are those winds speeds in MPH or knots?

MPH....so, when it was 20-24 it was lite for an 8.5, but he was still "powered." Appears the Cabrinha 8.5 has a great range as he was powered in 20 and the kite was still rock solid in 30
