Flexifoil Hadlow 7&9m hope to add a 11m soon
Flexifoil Hadlow wakestyle 138 with Ronix One's and a Slingshot Crisis 134

How can you hold anything bigger than a 9m ish in 35+ knots ,im maxed on my 7 in 35-40 knots and I weight about 67kg, you'd have to be either really heavy or completly stupid to go out on a 14, no offense Tody, just my thoughts!

Philip, stop concerning yourself with what others do or don't do. And start eating more food! All the best, Mark

The hadlow 7m is a violent kite to ride in 30 knots + really gusty conditions, bit of a handful kind of like 2003 kite - nice in steady winds tho.

I'm the same weight as you and kite my 10m 2011er Switchblade until 35knots. I didn't come across anything more than that here in NE Brazil so the 8m and 6m Switchblades are used by my girl.
Boards- 3 x 2011er 130x40 Monk(s)

PS: Toby packs up and goes home when wind goes above 26knots (and that's when the fun starts for me). :wink:

In Virginia beach the general consensus is that you never need anything smaller than a 9m. I rode my 7 meter about 2 times a year. Replaced the 7m bularoo with a 7.5 kahoona and get to ride it a lot more often.

Currently ride:
7.5 m kahoona v3
11.5m kahoona v2
18m dyno
OR Mako 140 and Mako king
Cabrinha race 183

Selling:
09 waroo 9m
08 waroo 11m
07 bularoo 7m

Buying:
10 m rebel
