Slingshot Riders

[tommeltot]

Suggestions please for 2 kite quiver & board /s - strapless wave rider also looking at maximising time on water with foilboard. Riding in smaller waves than overhead, sometimes coastal chop. All winds (bar hurricane force.) Weight 10.5 stone (147lbs / 67 kilos) Intermediate to advanced.

Wave SST 9+7 , converter board 5.4

7-10 Rally.

At your weight the 7 will be the main kite.

Rode the south coast UK for years so understand conditions. You may even go 6-9m but reckon once you go below 6 it'll be blowing its nuts off.

converter board looks interesting for a one board surf / foil quiver

[tommeltot]

Thanks for the input. The Converter sounds appealing and warrants some further research.

I think that would be good for someone like me at 80 kg, although I would not want to miss a 6m in my quiver!

For him with 67 kg I would guess, SST 8/6 would be more suitable. For me that would mean foiling from 11/12 knots to kitesurfing to 30 knots (plus gusts).

Don´t you think?

Thanks for the replies so far.
Like the idea of the Converter as one surf / foil board quiver.
Now to decide on SST sizes:
6/8, 7/9, 6/9 or splash and go 5/7/9?

If you have the money then go 5/7/9. (I have 5/7/9 Rallys and these sizes are really nice).

Yes, 9/7/5 SST is a very nice quiver indeed.

Thanks for the positive response so far. Will be looking at the 2018 kite and planning on a further, more in depth demo very soon. In so far as the Converter set-up goes can anyone give their input here?
