Is there anyone out there really kiting in sub 10knots, what are your set ups. Are you not screwed if the kite ditches itself and can you get upwind ??

Sadly I don't have all the time of the world for kiting as much as I would like to,and the wind here is very funny, I already have an Airush One , and I have enjoyed 10knots flat water many times , but I would like to go one step forward and being able to go under 10knots . My boards ? Apex 138, and Sector 60 V4
I'm dying to get the Vantage but I need more details for the wind range before I spend that much money

I just got the feedback from one of my friends that's actually attending 2015 Airush-Starboard World Dealers Meeting in Spain , he asked about it and they confirmed that the Vantage 18LW can be used up to 12-15 knots weights and board wise, so with my 85kg and my 138 TT I asume I can go up to 15knots top without breaking my head ....... I already ordered one so , I'll submit my personal opinion once I try it
Best regards and thanks a lot for you help

Ive tried this kite on the weekend and compare it ti the turbine my bro was riding, upwind ability is better that the turbine but relaunch and low end ( unless when raceboard) is much behind the turbine
