Why Aero2 is better than X2. Don't you think that X2 takes you better upwind. Aero20 might help him but in these winds the guy will spend more time walking back on the beach rather than kiting. Isn'i true?? 8-12 knots with his weight looks to me difficult. I don;t of the foils can make it!!

Cheers,
Mo

I don't think it's so bad. At least he admits where he got the information, rather than spouting it as gospel truth.

I Would get the X2 20 because it moves better and still has plenty of grunt. Its not difficult to fly like some of the smaller size X2's can be (due to there speed and where they sit in the window).I've flown the Rhino 2 in an 18 and it has boatloads of power, more than equal to X2 20. Aero 20 is all about low end power but doesn't have the up range of X2.
