Hi
I am a windsurfer. I never did kiting, but I'd like to start out. The Ozone UNO V2 6.0 m has attracted my attention as a beginner. It is relatively cheap and extremely well performing, from what I read , but the problem is that taccording to the reviews I have read it is a trainer kite for kids and I am not a kid. I weigh 85 kg !.
What should I expect as an adult from this kite in light winds ( 12-18 knots 20 knts max ? ), especialli in the lower range?.
I would use it to to pull my Bic WindSUP, or even my small kayak . Indeed, SUK' ing would be my first and only priority , for the moment.
I don't envisage ever buying a 2nd, more advanced kite: , It would be way beyond my budget. Besides, I don't think I would need a bigger, full fledge kite , just to pull a SUP.
On the other hand , I wouldn't want to waste money buying a .... big umbrella, given my weight and the relatively small size of the kOzone Uno kite.
At first I was even thinking that I needed of a 10-12 m kite, but if I can get away with a 6 m, why not?
By the way, can it be used on the snow, too?
Thanks for your comments and suggestions
