Okay,
Names Ken,
I'm from Ontario about 2 hours Northwest of Toronto and I have some questions about kite skiing/boarding in the winter...I did it years ago with a 4.9 flexifoil Blade two line...no safety release, nothing...just hook in and hold on...gusts could be BAD...so I stayed out of seriously strong gusty conditions, so I know a bit about kiting,...but that was about 7 years ago...and I can see from video's I've watched some things have changed a little...
So in point form these are some of the questions I could use help with...
-I might like to progress to kiteboarding in the summer, (so was thinking of buying inflatable kites, for winter use), or is it better to stick with a foil kite in the winter? I like the performance of the Ozone kites, from what I've seen...
-I way 170lb, so in a 15-20km wind what size kite would I need to get some good 10 foot jumps? I have jumped before (not a lot though), I figure a 8-10 meter foil...12+meter inflatable...correct me if I'm wrong?
-what style skiswork best? Or snowboard?
-does anyone have any kite recommendations for me?
-and I know this isn't the second hand section, but if anyone has a newer than 2008 kite for around 400 or less, let me know...
That's about it hope someone can help with my questions and that I didn't sound conceded...
Thanks,
Ken
