Agree..low to mid teens in miles per hour...thirteen (low)...fourteen...fifteen...sixteen (mid)
Where does ....ten..eleven..twelve miles per hour ....fit in all that ? with all due respect
Mr D
Depowered almost all the way ??
At
138kg !!.... in mid to upper teens mph .........really
Wasn't he fully lit on a TT 134cm ? (no idea how wide)
I rode that kite in 16-17 mph..i am 75kg..was on a strapped surfboard quad 5'7" x 18.62"
Was only depowered 1/2 way on the strap using Epic bar...and it was easily manageable
I am used to a 19 that rides in 20 mph...
...so i don't buy that overpowered stuff on a small LW kite @16-17m2
At my weight this kite could go easy to 20 mph
I don't care how low this kite sit in the window on 22m lines...a 138kg rider could handle 20 mph EZ
Was he using his own bar... and it was out of whack to be that depowered in low to mid teens (mph)
How experienced is he......does he ride as often as D. or Supa
Also from what i saw in person 4-7 mph (avg 5.5mph)......the kite flies very well on the beach
D........My job is done
