bows for riders 50-60kg advice

[sammicheater]

thinking of buying a 7m bow kite. im 55kg. 12-32mph on that? smaller riders please give advice on the range/size of bow kites they have. thx

I think you are better off with a 9 for that wind range.

im 160 (60 kilos?) I dont pump up my 9m bow unless its over 20mph, forget about it under 20 unless you always ride butter! with smooth water you can make a 9 work in 16 but its work, and you gotta ride with alot of board speed, and by that, I mean you gotts to b riding faster than most of the riders around you. Id say a fun range for a 7 is 25-35, higher if your an agressive rider.

7 cwaroo will work in 18 easily...and will go to 35 plus for me at 62 kilos.

low end on them kites rocks.

I got the 9 - wish I had got the 7 and 12 combo.

[sammicheater]

looking at a 9m shockwave. 11-28mph at 55kg? eddy, what low end do you get on your 9m waroo?

Hi, I'm about 58 kg and flying waroo's. I have got a 7 and 12m quiver.
I use my 12m from 11mph to 27mph and use the 7m from 18mph to 38mph.
I think that if I would go for a one kite quiver, I would take a 9m waroo. You can extend the low end of the 9m by using a big board like the flydoor.

what do u think my range would be on a 9m bow?

Hey Sammi, check Tautologies phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2330422&start=40& ... 039072323b. He is selling a Waroo 9m.

For your weight check out the Flysurfer Pulse. It's not a bow, but has as much if not more depower and very fast turning. There are several light riders that swear by them on http://www.foilzone.com
Above all it has a great safety system that is important for feather weights

Cheers

You should definitely go with a 9m2 Bow kite for that range.
Unless you want a Waroo - then you should have a 7m2 - it does not have nearly the same depower/upper range as many other brands, but it has better low end

Both types should fit you I think

But you are asking for a bit more than realistic I think. 12-32 mph is a huge gap !!! Might be possible, but not very pleasant

We've ridden different brands a lot, in high winds, in waves...
