weight-70kg
board- 126x38 GK Bolic
low end with upwind-8 knots, not choppy water
high end: so far up to 20 knots.
I'll take my 11m if the winds are above that.

Hey man. I accually was going to go test out my sonics this last weekend. What happened was I decided to get a 9 Waroo and try to settle for a 2 kite quiver. Then when the Waroo was late on the shipment (got it today finally) Im now going back to the 14/11 GK quiver. Now I have to wait another week or whatever to get the 11 and send back the 9 Waroo.
