Yeah, I always wanted a 13m RPM.....probably 2013! the big guys could go 13, 10 and 8.
You'll hate me even more but how about a 13m FUEL and then 10 & 8 RPM ?

I have considered it, but how much more bottom end will a 13m fuel offer me compared to a 12m rpm.. also when the wind is that light will the fuel relaunch ok....

I have owned the 14m rpm before in an 09, what a slow dog...

Yeah, you should get a 7/9/12 quiver! You would be STOKED at all wind speeds. (you can always make the 12M a used RPM or 2011 close-out to save some coin)

Unless you really like the light wind then maybe 7/10 RPMS and 14 Rally. Confused? Yeah, these decision always get me. In my case, I just found a 2 kite quiver to be too restrictive. It only works for little guys. If you weigh more than a toaster you need 3 kites. Heck, 4 and you'd be stylin!

Someone said once on the forum, "Life is too short to only have 3 kites"

I agree I'd rather be perfectly powered all the time on a 4 kite quiver of last years (or 2 years old) model than on a 2 kite quiver of this years model for the same price.

to many options... I think the 7m is out the question, i used to own a 7m wainman gypsy and that was a powerful little kite but even when I went out on this I always wanted more juice hence why I sold it.... I think an 8m is the smallest I can go being a FAT bastard..

I am now considering a 9 & 12m and a larger board, possibly 140 x 47 etc, never ridden a board like this so cant comment.. cheaper than buying 3 kites i suppose...

I def want the new RPM, they look sweet and I am planning on keeping them for 2 years aswel, hence my dilemma....

I have thought about the rally but the three times I have tested them 2011/2012 I pinched the wing tips on all ocassions, I think I load up to much and the kite cant cope halling my fat ass around. Never had this problem with RPM.s.. so I think Rally is out the question.. Also I can put some line extensions on the 12m rpm to give it a little more juice...

I have chosen my colours so thats sorted.... haha White and blue then green.... sweet

Yep, that would be the 'decent' thing to do.

Nobody over 75 kg should be allowed to fly anything really, then we wouldn't have to have big slow kites littering up the water, or fat people sat next to us in planes.


You could always get a light wind kite like those Turbine monsters for all those iffy days, then go 10 7 to cover the rest.

Turbine is the kite of choice for all those Clinically obese fellas over 80 kgs.

Turbine, no chance, big slow kites are for losers anything bigger than a 12m is a waste of time, would rather sit on beach and eat pies and drink lager .... so dull unless u r lit on a small fast kite...

@ graham, bit of winter blubber is good for you
