So this is 4-8 knots? :o Sales propaganda
Looking at the sea my wind meter would read 8- 12 knots for sure.

His comment for the last video said 6 - 8 m/s which is about 12 - 16 knots.

What I noticed is it turns pretty fast for a 18m in those light winds plus board speed looks fast. Also boosting pretty high for a beginner. Probably could get a lot higher. All things that make light wind kiting a whole lot more fun for me!
This is not a beginners kite! Ozone make that quite clear

I have ridden the 15 chrono in avg 8 knots and it completely blew me away. Smooth power delivery, effortless glides, rather than jumps. The landings are gentle. More a flying feeling than a kite feeling.
Have ordered one as its going to revolutionise my low wind kiting days.

I meant beginner using the kite as he wasn't landing his jumps very well. Sorry for the confusion. I ordered an 18 today get it on Friday. Btw does anyone know if the race bar has more depower? It looks like it has a fair bit of extra above the cleat.

Got a whole bunch of tests planned for the weekend.

We have 14-16 mph forecast for Saturday and 10-12 for Sunday.

Going to try and measure static pull and will do a few comparisons on jumping height and stability.

Should be good! :)

What size ya got tone??

Great aspects to measure by the way....waiting eagerly to hear your results.

Everyone banging on about mowing the lawn in a straight line in little wind...yeh no shit that thin blade is gonna do that and more!!!

Time to explore its limitations I say! Because I reckon even the free riders in us are frothing at the moment...

It's a 15m.

Have a Speed 4 15m Lotus and Speed 3.5 15m to compare against, not that they are that much different!

Go pro is charged and ready! :)

I'm betting my left nut that this is a game changer for light wind. Friday will tell for me.
