Hey guys,
Have you notice the little wind range of the Vegas6 12m??
If you are a novice level, 13knts to 16??? This is a wind range?? No
If you are interm. or advan., 13 to 22knts, come on!!!
If you are expert, 13 to 24, know we are talking
This data I took it from,

With a bow 12 you have from 12knts to 30knts of wind range, and that is true!!! Because I have one.
My weight is 80kg, I have a 130cm board and I have a Switchblade 12m, and my old C shape 16,5m. I have 7 years of experience.
Sometimes with my Contra, I ride with 12knts and it’s really fun. But in some conditions I have to pull it down with 20 or less knts.
In the other hand my Switchblade 12 I tried it from the same 12knts, and in another occasion I tried it with 28knts with gust of 30knts, and I couldn’t believe it, it was one of the best ridings.
For example another interesting thing, my wife weight 55kg, and she is starting right now in kite surfing, when I’m with the Contra, she is with the SB, and believe me she is not in dangerous situations in a 16knts day, or a little more.
Come one guys, what are you saying?? BOW kites are the next generation!!
