Aloha kiteboarders,
How are you doing?!
I´m a young kiteboarder (14 years) from Holland(also The Netherlands) and I´m gonna buy the F.one Mach 1 but I don´t know wich size is good for me.
A little bit about myself:
I´m 54 kg, my homespot is Veluwe meer (meer=lake in english, it´s in the middel of the country between Gelderland and Flevoland, maybe the place Stand Horst or Hardewijk says a little bit more) without waves...sometimes little waves but you can´t call it waves. I ride on an Brunotti Board Twintip 160cm but maybe I´m gonna sell it this summer(of the begin of the summer) and buy a other board(but wich I don´t know; maybe a F.one wakeboard 142, or Brunotti Board Lord of Hellfire Twintip 155(like my board but is very thinner and smaller).
You know I like the 9.1 but if I read the manuel I´ll see it´s samular to the North 7.5/6.2, Airblast 6.3,Cabrinha BT 7.0,Slingshot Fuel 10 and that isn´t very big. But also the 9.5 ARX is samular to the 9.1 Mach 1 and that´s good.
But also I like the 12.1 because maybe I´m gonna ride a smaller board and is samular to the North 9.3/12, Airblast 8.4,Cabrinha BT 9.4,Slingshot Fuel 12 and Naish ARX 11.5(12.5).
Now is my guestion:
Which size do you recommend if you read my letter/topic?! The 9.1 or the 12.1?! And tell me please why do you think and what range of wind the both kites have for me in knots/bft!!
Thanks for everything and see you on the water!
Mahalo,
Jorrit
Ps sorry if my English isn´t very good, I´m 14 you know and I´m still learning...haha!
