Gaastra GRX 10M? 10-14M combo ok?

Got the 14m very happy, will the 10M be a good combo for stronger winds.
How fast is it compare to the 14M?
hang time?
Thks... :wink:

19.5 - 14 - 10 is the ideal GXR combo... :thumb:

Get the G-spot 10, the GXR 10 is not in the same league as X2, Takoon Skoop or other high aspect kites. The G-Spot is a little slower but has more power and steadier lift The GXR is twitchy and has a small "sweet spot" for jumping. :thumb:

:D I'v got the 10-14-19,5 combo, and it's a blast, but the 10 GXR is fast, sometimes to fast if you ask me, just blow out my eardrom in a BIG jump, but once you got the hang of it, it makes great highwind kitesession, it has a large windrange if you have the 14 you'll probably use it in 20-30 knots(25-35) if your heavy 85KG like me.
But it's fast kite but has all the nice fitures, that the 14'n has, like nice relaunch, like to overpowered, and is light on the handelbar!
So go for the best GAASTRA 2003 GXR :thumb:

Thks for the answers,
I've tryed the 19M in cabarete but I felt it was staying too much in the back and not going enought foward in the window to go upwind, kind of dragging you downwind, this is not the case with the 14M.
I'm looking at the scoop 2 17M for my big kite but might wait for the next big S2 size I heard 19M recently?
Any other suggestion for a big kite, I like Takoon, F1 , Wipi styles and don't like North...
Weight 180lbs and ride a TT 155cm.
