Hello and happy new year,
I've a 9m Reo 2015 and a 6m Reo 2012.
The 9m 2015 has good power and the 6m 2012 is more a high wind kite with good top end.
So, I've a gap between both sizes...
To have a good combo with my 9m, should I take a 6m 2015 (has this year they seems to be more powerfull) or a 7m 2015, what is the top end on that one?
Thanks,
Marc

Hi! Take 7 if you are about 80kg, if less then 70, take 6m. I've tried 7 in over 30 knots conditions and I'm 80. It was nice..

Ok, I'm 75. It was confortable at 30 knots? It was on a surfboard?

7m. Though I haven't ridden the 2015. some locals roll with 10, 7 combo plus they keep the old 2012 6m and use that when its nuking. I have the old 2012 6m. It is a high wind machine. Boring for me bellow 30 knots.

Yep, the 6m 2012 need a lot of wind to be fun.
That's a good idea, I will get a 7 and keep the 6 for those high wind days.
